FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out these common questions about 

Brewery-POS

What is a Brewery POS System?

A brewery POS system is point-of-sale software built for taproom service rather than table service. It sells beer by the pour size, depletes stock by volume so a keg's remaining ounces stay accurate, and supports open tabs, flights, merchandise, and to-go cans in the same check.

What is a brewery digital tab?

A brewery digital tab is an open check that guests can use to place orders for food and beer at a brewery. With systems like GoTab, guests can also place reorders against the existing check. This has the benefit of making it easy for guests to get what they want when they want it. From a brewery perspective, reorders against an existing digital tab or check has the added benefit of reduced transaction fees because the guest is able to keep the tab open until all orders are placed.

What is the difference between a brewery POS and a brewpub POS?

A brewpub POS has to do both jobs: pour-size beer sales and full kitchen service on the same check, with tickets routed to bar and kitchen separately. A taproom-only POS can skip coursing and table management. If food is more than a snack menu, buy for the kitchen as well as the tap.

How does GoTab compare to the typical brewery POS software?

Originally crafted to boost brewery efficiency, GoTab today serves a wide range of hospitality businesses. Its origins in the brewery industry mean it comes loaded with features tailor-made for brewery operators. Pioneering in contactless/QR ordering and payment since 2018, GoTab was ahead of its time compared to other brewery ordering software. Our platform was engineered from scratch with contactless ordering in mind, ensuring a smooth, integrated experience. With GoTab, guests can open a tab on their mobile device and it's instantly accessible through the GoTab all-in-one POS, allowing both guests and servers to add orders to the same tab. This flexibility lets guests choose how they want to order – directly through their device without queuing, or traditionally through a server. And they're free to switch between these methods as they prefer. Additional features like order zones for extended outdoor service, batch ordering for efficient kitchen management, and multi-vendor integration for third-party orders, position GoTab as an ideal solution for breweries aiming to boost revenue, cut costs, and elevate the guest experience.

What should a taproom look for in a POS?

Four things: pours sold by size with stock depleted by volume, tabs that stay open across a patio and a main room, flights and merchandise on the same check as beer, and service that continues when the internet drops. Most general restaurant systems handle the last three and not the first.
