Welcome to the world of craft beer, where flavorful brews and delectable snacks create a perfect pairing. Crafting an inviting and enjoyable atmosphere in your brewery involves more than just exceptional beer; it's about complementing those sips with the right bites. In this blog, we'll explore a curated selection of the best snacks to serve in your brewery, enhancing the tasting experience for your patrons.
Pretzels with a Twist
Start with a classic that never goes out of style – pretzels. Elevate this beloved snack by offering a variety of twists and flavors. Think soft pretzel bites with a side of spicy beer cheese dip or pretzel rods coated in cinnamon and sugar for a sweet and savory option. The versatility of pretzels makes them an ideal canvas for creativity..
Gourmet Popcorn Bar
Transform the humble popcorn into a gourmet experience by setting up a popcorn bar. Provide an array of seasonings such as truffle salt, chili lime, or even a classic buttery option. Enhance the experience by offering mix-ins like caramel drizzle, grated Parmesan, or spicy jalapeños. A popcorn bar encourages patrons to customize their snacks, adding a fun and interactive element to their brewery visit. Let them easily order their personalized popcorn through GoTab, ensuring a seamless process.
Artisanal Charcuterie Boards
Bring sophistication to your brewery with artisanal charcuterie boards. Curate a selection of premium cheeses, cured meats, and accompaniments like honey, fig preserves, and grainy mustard. The diverse flavors and textures create a perfect balance, offering a more substantial option for patrons looking to enjoy a leisurely tasting session.
Beer-Infused Snacks
Celebrate the marriage of beer and snacks by incorporating your brews into the snacks themselves. Beer-battered onion rings, beer cheese-stuffed pretzels, or even IPA-infused nuts are creative options that showcase the versatility of your craft brews in culinary delights. Pair these innovative treats with a swift order through GoTab, making the experience both flavorful and efficient.
Loaded Nachos
For a hearty and shareable option, consider serving loaded nachos. Pile on a generous amount of melted cheese, jalapeños, guacamole, sour cream, and your choice of protein. Nachos are a crowd-pleaser, offering a satisfying and flavorful option to accompany a round of refreshing brews. Simplify the nacho indulgence with GoTab's user-friendly ordering system, allowing patrons to customize and submit their orders with ease.
As you craft the perfect brewery experience, remember that the right snacks can elevate the tasting adventure for your patrons. From inventive pretzel creations to gourmet popcorn bars, artisanal charcuterie boards, beer-infused delights, and loaded nachos, these snacks are sure to enhance the flavors of your craft brews. Create a welcoming and delicious atmosphere in your brewery, where every sip is complemented by the perfect bite. Cheers to a harmonious fusion of great beer, exceptional snacks, and the seamless ordering experience brought to you by GoTab!
Situated “in the heart of it all, yet tranquil enough to make you feel away from it all too,” The Limelight Hotel Snowmass offers 99 hotel rooms and 11 residences, as well as footsteps-to-gondola access in winter and summer — right in the middle of Snowmass Base Village.
The Situation
Especially over the last few years, the Limelight Hotels IT team had witnessed a significant shift to contactless technology in the hospitality industry. After evaluating friction points in the guest journey, aligning with modern technology platforms in their restaurant was determined to be an effective way to offer elevated contactless dining experiences to their guests while also evolving their technology platforms to continue to support long-term company goals. Limelight Hotel partnered with GoTab to provide an enhanced on-demand dining experience on par with the brand’s reputation for exceptional guest service.
The Solution
Reducing Staff Touch Points Without Sacrificing Guest Experience
Guests are now able to begin a tab from their room or the property’s restaurant by scanning a QR code, texting a link to friends or family members on the ski slope to add in their orders, then meeting up together at the patio or lodge to enjoy their meal and après ski festivities without interruption. By streamlining tasks like inputting orders and processing payments, this eliminates friction for hotel staff and allows them to focus on delivering renowned guest service for a memorable experience. Since partnering with GoTab, Limelight Snowmass has consistently seen higher check averages and sales.
“We found the Point of Sale platforms we were looking at offered the guest and staff limited opportunities to further reduce touch points or improve the traditional restaurant experience. The GoTab platform enabled the guest to take an active role over the flow of their experience while simultaneously reducing touch points and further streamlining restaurant operations.”Nick Giglio, Manager of Hotel IT Operations, The Little Nell Hotel Group
According to the Limelight Hotels team, some of the other platforms that were evaluated were either missing some of the pieces they were looking for, had weak customer support models, or had little willingness to develop integrations to existing hotel platforms already in place. To that end, GoTab integrated with cloud-based platform, Infor. Together, GoTab and Infor are providing dynamic solutions to support central, efficient service across hotel amenities and deliver exceptional guest experiences.
“Previously, guests would call down to the restaurant to begin an order from their room or while they were out enjoying the ski slopes. Using GoTab, guests can now place orders from anywhere on the resort, giving them the on-demand service they want without interrupting their day. GoTab empowers us to give control to the guest, reducing touch points and streamlining overall restaurant operations, making Limelight Hotel the resort of choice for Snowmass.”Nick Giglio, Manager of Hotel IT Operations, The Little Nell Hotel Group
Since introducing GoTab, The Limelight Hotel has seen a consistent level of upsells and items sold per check resulting in additional revenue capture. They have been able to maintain service levels in their restaurants during periods when there was reduced staffing available without significantly diminishing the guest experience.
