GoTab Selected as Exclusive POS Provider for Hoppin’ Brands' Growing Franchise Network
ARLINGTON, Va – GoTab, a leading point-of-sale (POS) platform in restaurant commerce technology, today announced a strategic partnership with Hoppin’ Brands, a pioneer in self-serve bar experiences and franchise development across the United States. Hoppin’ Brands is known for its innovative self-serve taprooms that feature PourMyBeer (PMB) self-pour walls, which integrate seamlessly with GoTab to deliver a cohesive and elevated guest experience.
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based Hoppin’ Brands is one of the hottest high-tech taproom concepts in the world. The company was founded with the vision of revolutionizing the bar industry by eliminating long lines, reducing product waste, speeding up service, and increasing profitability. Hoppin’ uses self-serve technology linked to a wristband connected to a debit or credit card. The wristband is pre-loaded with an amount for two or three drinks, and the cost is determined by the ounce.
GoTab recognized Hoppin' Brands as an ideal partner for its shared commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and delivering exceptional guest experiences.
“We’re proud to partner with Hoppin’ Brands as they continue to innovate the self-serve bar experience nationwide,” said Tim McLaughlin, Co-Founder and CEO of GoTab. “GoTab’s adaptable platform and robust integrations provide the operational agility Hoppin’ Brands needs to create truly memorable guest experiences while streamlining and scaling their operations.”
Hoppin’ Brands has three established locations with five franchises in progress. The company has selected GoTab as its exclusive POS solution for all current and upcoming venues.
Hoppin’ Brands made the switch from its previous provider to GoTab for its advanced POS functionality and operational efficiency. A key factor in this decision was GoTab’s automated royalty feature, which streamlines royalty tracking and collection from franchisees, significantly reducing administrative overhead.
The seamless integration with PourMyBeer enhances Hoppin’s self-serve model, allowing for real-time tap management and simplified tab closures, which creates a frictionless experience for guests.
Additionally, GoTab’s Insufficient Funds Protection and auto-closing tabs with default tips provide an extra layer of security and operational efficiency. These features help ensure that franchisees can operate smoothly while maximizing profitability.
"We needed a POS platform that could support our unique self-serve model while offering comprehensive operational features tailored to the needs of our franchisees,” said a spokesperson from Hoppin. “GoTab’s advanced features and seamless PourMyBeer integration provide the perfect foundation to help us expand and scale efficiently.”
With GoTab as their Point Of Sale platform, Hoppin’ Brands is positioned to set a new standard for the self-serve bar industry as they continue to grow.
“This has been an exciting year of growth for GoTab as we continue to expand our partnerships and reach new markets,” said Tim McLaughlin, CEO and Co-Founder of GoTab. “We’re thrilled to be at the forefront of innovation in the hospitality industry, and our collaboration with Hoppin’ Brands is a key part of our vision for the future. We look forward to supporting their expansion and delivering cutting-edge solutions that drive efficiency and enhance the guest experience across all their locations.”
