Modernize Your Taproom
Instant Keg Updates
When the hazy IPA kicks at 8:00 PM on a Saturday, a bartender can toggle it off from their phone. It instantly disappears from every screen, preventing ordering confusion.
Clear Beer Stats
Stop playing 20 questions. Clearly display ABV, IBU, beer style, and tasting notes directly on your digital boards so customers can make faster decisions.
Table-Side Ordering
Bust the massive line at the bar. Let guests scan a QR code at their communal table to order a flight or a fresh pint without ever leaving their seat.
Why Breweries Need Dynamic Digital Menus
Let’s talk about the operational reality of running a busy craft brewery. The aesthetic of a handwritten chalkboard looks fantastic—until it is 8:30 PM on a packed Saturday night, your flagship Double IPA just kicked, and the bartender is entirely too slammed pouring flights to grab a wet rag and rewrite the board. As a result, the next ten people in line try to order a beer you no longer have, grinding your service speed to an absolute halt.
Breweries deal with a level of inventory volatility that traditional restaurants do not. You have seasonal releases, small-batch pilot kegs that might only last a few hours, and constant tap rotations. Trying to manage this via paper menus or chalkboards is an operational nightmare. An automated brewery digital menu solves this instantly. It provides you with a centralized digital inventory. When a keg blows, you open an app on your phone, click a toggle, and the beer vanishes from your screens. Check out our brewery taproom demo to see how clean this digital integration looks.
This operational agility is the exact same logic required to run high-volume bars and nightclubs. When your menu acts as an active, real-time extension of your walk-in cooler, your bartenders stop apologizing for dead kegs and start pouring the beers you actually have on draft.
Modernizing with Taproom Digital Signage
Craft beer consumers are highly educated, and they want details. They want to know the ABV, the IBU, the hop profile, and whether it’s a West Coast or New England style IPA. If you force your bartenders to verbally explain these nuances to every single patron in a loud room, your transaction times will plummet. High-definition taproom digital signage shifts the burden of education from your staff to your screens.
Our brewery beer board layouts are designed specifically to handle dense information without looking cluttered. You can elegantly display the beer name, style, tasting notes, and pricing for a 5oz pour, a 16oz pint, and a 64oz growler fill all in one highly readable row. This visual clarity empowers the customer to build their own flights in their head before they even reach the front of the line.
Furthermore, digital screens give you the power to market your brand. You can partition a section of the screen to advertise your upcoming trivia night, food truck schedule, or exclusive mug club memberships. It turns your menu board into a silent, highly effective sales engine.
The Power of a Real-Time Digital Beer Board
If you distribute your beer or operate multiple taproom locations, maintaining brand consistency across different digital beer boards is crucial. You might be brewing the beer at your main production facility while serving it at an off-site tasting room across town. Our cloud-based system allows your head brewer or taproom manager to push tap updates globally.
When a new seasonal stout is released for the winter, you don't need to manually update five different physical locations. You preload the beer into your master database, assign it to the active tap lists for the specific locations, and the screens update simultaneously. This is the exact playbook utilized by major restaurant chains to ensure brand alignment, adapted for the craft beer industry.
You can even categorize your board dynamically. Group your lagers and pilsners together, create a distinct section for barrel-aged stouts, or highlight non-alcoholic options and hard seltzers. A well-organized board naturally guides the consumer's eye, upselling them on premium, higher-margin pours.
Busting Lines with a QR Code Menu for Breweries
Taprooms are inherently communal spaces. Guests gather at long picnic tables or out on the patio to socialize for hours. The biggest friction point in this experience is making guests abandon their friends to go stand in a 20-minute line just to get a second round. By deploying a QR code menu for breweries, you completely decentralize your ordering process.
You place a branded QR code decal on every table. A guest scans the code, browses the live tap list on their phone, selects two pints, and pays via Apple Pay. The ticket prints behind the bar, the bartender pours the beer, and a runner drops it at the table. Not only does this elevate the guest experience to the level of fine dining convenience, but it drastically increases your revenue. When ordering a beer is completely frictionless, people order more of them.
You can also use this mobile menu to drive off-premise sales. Add a category for "To-Go Beer & Merch." A guest can add a 4-pack of cans and a brewery hoodie to their digital tab right before they leave. You can test this highly profitable checkout flow in our interactive order demo. To track the margins on those merchandise and package sales, be sure to utilize our built-in restaurant finance tools.
