Default solving a tavern problem

I am trying to solve a taverns problem too much waste.Tavern has a basement walk in cooler 5'x5'x6' high. well insulated new cooling unit
dispensing three products bud coors light and yuengling.10'-4"lift.
7'from center of kegs to vertical run. Set up with 3/8"x5' trunk.
11'-10" 3/8" vinyl python. Yuengling and coors has a 4'3/16" choker.
Bud has a 3'-6" 3/16" choker. Air cooled through a 3" pvc pipe insulated with
black foam pipe insulation to tower box with a 3" pvc air return line to walk in cooler. In addition to pipe insulation air cooling lines also boxed in with rigid insulation.Cooler temp is set at 34 degrees. The main regulator is set at 16#. Secondary regulator set at 15 #. Gas is straight CO2. Have co2 in beer line on bud & Yuengling only which tells me I should increase pressure some more. This would make it pour faster yet and I think it it too fast now. So what do you think?
Longer choker, co2 nitrogen mix? I dont think glycol system expense is possible right now. Refrigeration tech has a timer on unit for defrost
time 1 1/2 hr at 7 in morning. Am losing about 6 degrees from cooler to tower box.

Help!!
