Yes, brewery mobile tabs work the same in GoTab as our mobile tabs for other venue types. Guest can open a digital tab at your brewery by simply scanning a GoTab QR or tapping a GoTab NFC. They can associate their debit or credit card with their tab to place orders in your tap-room, on your patio, at an on-property food truck or anywhere else you would like to provide food and beverage service. Guests then close their tab directly through GoTab and can simply walk out without having to stand in line or flag down a server. They never need to download an app and all of their orders and payments are tracked for future retrieval within GoTab. Guests who prefer to start their order with a server can use EasyTab. This unique feature allows your server to dip or swipe a credit or debit card

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.

Yes. However, GoTab does not require an app download on the guests’ phone. Because GoTab is a cloud-based platform, guests can access all the benefits of using GoTab through their web browser.

While it is used in all manner of hospitality establishments today, GoTab was originally created to help breweries run more efficiently. As a result, GoTab has a wealth of features designed specifically to benefit brewery operators. We’ve offered contactless/QR ordering and payment since 2018, long before brewery ordering software providers made the feature available in their systems. In fact, we were built from the ground up to support contactless ordering, which means the feature is built seamlessly into our system. That means that a tab/check a guest opens on their mobile device is accessible via the GoTab all-in-one POS. Guests and servers can share the same tab. Guests who prefer can order, reorder and pay without having to stand in a line, or wait for a server. Guests who prefer to order through a server can come up to a bar or flag down a server. Even better, guests and servers can blend the two experiences depending on their preferences. Other features like order zones (allowing operators to extend ordering to remote outside areas), batch ordering (which allows the kitchen to fulfill orders from the same spot at the same time together), multi-vendor (allowing integrated ordering of 3rd parties while on-venue) make GoTab a perfect solution for breweries looking to increase revenue and reduce costs while giving their guests an improved guest experience.

No. The GoTab system allows all forms of payments, contactless/QR, dip/swipe through our handheld payment terminals, or cash.
