Why choose the QCR GC01 instead of GC140?
Answer:
- Lower upfront cost: The GC01 is more budget-friendly than the GC140 making it a strong choice if you need a mid-range capacity without paying for the highest spec
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The GC01 can be installed behind the bar or in a cellar enabling empty bottles to be instantly crushed without the use of bottle skips.
