6 Best Practices for High-Performance Taproom and Beer Garden Operations
Tuesday, September 22 | 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. | Business Track
Every brewery wants to serve more guests, increase guest spend, and create memorable experiences — yet long lines, ordering bottlenecks, disconnected service areas, and operational inefficiencies often limit growth long before a venue reaches capacity. In this case study-driven session, attendees will learn six proven operational strategies used by leading breweries, taprooms, and beer gardens across North America, including hybrid ordering models, guest mobility, kitchen efficiency, dynamic service zones, loyalty and membership programs, and the operational technology that supports high-volume environments.
Confirmed Speakers
