For anyone who’s ever checked their banking app after a night out, or a visit to the gas station and thought, “Wait, why was I charged twice?”—you’re not alone. The confusion over preauthorizations and “pending” charges is a common and frustrating experience. But here’s the truth: what often looks like a double charge is rarely, if ever, actually one. It’s the result of how banks and card networks display transactions—particularly when an authorization is placed and a final charge (also called a “capture”) follows.

Last week, the GoTab team was on the ground in Indianapolis for the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) 2025. As always, the event was packed with passionate brewers, partners, and operators—offering a front-row seat to what’s really happening across the craft beer industry.

The hospitality industry has changed—and so have the expectations around your point-of-sale (POS) system. Today’s operators don’t just need a cash register that takes orders. They need a flexible, powerful platform that can adapt to any service model, reduce overhead, and deliver a top-tier guest experience.

GoTab has announced a strategic partnership with Backofhouse.io, a Gordon Food Service venture, to provide restaurant operators with a comprehensive hospitality commerce solution. This collaboration combines GoTab’s flexible POS and guest-centric tech with Back of House’s expert consulting platform, streamlining vendor selection and technology adoption.

The latest Restaurant Technology Outlook from Nation’s Restaurant News and Restaurant Business reveals a clear message for operators: technology isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity.

Operators today are prioritizing guest experience, operational efficiency, and scalable tech investments—principles that are core to everything we do.

To truly scale and stay competitive, breweries need smarter systems behind the scenes—tech that helps you sell more beer with less friction, and data that tells you why it’s working. That’s exactly what we’ll cover in our upcoming GoTab + Beer30 webinar—a hands-on look at how the right tools can turn your taproom into a more efficient, more profitable operation.
