Running a modern taphouse isn’t what it used to be. With shifting guest expectations, evolving labor challenges, and a growing demand for flexibility, today’s operators are rethinking how they serve. That’s where hybrid service comes in—and why GoTab is quickly becoming the go-to platform for innovative taproom models across the country.

Established from a shared love of beer and artistry, Sketchbook Brewing Company has built a space for connection in Chicagoland. Now, with GoTab’s flexible POS and QR ordering system, they're expanding that vision with modern hospitality that fits their vibe.

GoTab has unveiled an updated brand promise, positioning itself as the entertainment commerce platform built to elevate the guest experience. As hospitality operators face tighter margins, rising guest expectations, and new business models like eatertainment, GoTab is helping them do more with less—streamlining operations while delivering exceptional service. The update reflects the company’s continued evolution alongside its customers, offering powerful tools for mobile ordering, ticketing, events, and back-of-house efficiency. More than a rebrand, it’s a renewed commitment to helping operators thrive without compromising the moments that matter most.

As food halls, family entertainment centers (FECs), and multi-operator venues grow in popularity, choosing the right point-of-sale (POS) platform is more important than ever. Operators need a system that supports multiple vendors, keeps guests moving, and scales easily across locations. Two major contenders—GoTab and Toast—offer powerful features, but differ significantly in how they serve these complex environments.

Gone are the days when “going out” just meant grabbing dinner. Today’s guests are hungry for more: more energy, more social connection, more story. They’re swapping the standard night out for adventure, where a match on the pickleball court is followed by tacos and a tequila flight, and where bowling feels more like a boutique lounge than a family rec hall.

Financing a new brewery—or expanding an existing one—has always required creativity. But in today’s environment, it has become even more challenging. Rising interest rates and tightening lending standards have made traditional bank financing harder to access. Meanwhile, a generational shift is underway: as Baby Boomers retire and begin reallocating an estimated $75 trillion in assets, the structure of capital availability is changing. With a shrinking pool of active investors and a more conservative credit market, breweries need to explore a broader range of funding options.

GoTab, a leading Point-of-Sale (POS) platform, announced the launch of four new integrations to its partner ecosystem. These new POS integrations cater to the varied demands of restaurants, breweries, bars, and eatertainment venues, empowering them with more versatile solutions.
