When Service Plans Go Sideways

Even the best-laid service plans can go sideways—especially on a holiday weekend. 📸 Picture This: It's the Fourth of July weekend and after hours of walking in the sun and sand at the beach, all I wanted was a cold drink and a shady spot to relax. We finally found a nice looking brewery and gratefully settled in, hoping to kick back and enjoy the afternoon. It was pretty empty and no one approached our table so we scanned the QR code at the table and ordered. We thought it would be nice to sit outside so we asked the bartender if it was ok to move.

Setting the Scene: POS Needs in Breweries & Taprooms

Breweries and taprooms operate very differently from traditional restaurants, and those differences have a big impact on what they need from a point-of-sale (POS) system. Instead of standard table service, these venues typically rely on tab-based ordering, with guests moving freely between the bar, patio, and event spaces—often placing multiple orders during a single visit. They also juggle a variety of offerings, from beer flights and growler fills to merch sales and rotating events. Accurate keg tracking and real-time inventory management are essential, as is the ability to support flexible ordering across taprooms, food hall setups, and outdoor areas.

What’s Powering the New Guest Experience at FECs and Bowling Centers?

At this year’s Bowl Expo, one question kept surfacing across the trade floor, breakout sessions, and one-on-one conversations: What should the systems of the future really look like? More and more operators are rethinking the “all-in-one” promise—not rejecting it outright, but recognizing its limits. Instead, they’re looking ahead to a model that prioritizes robust, flexible systems that truly excel in their domain and seamlessly connect with best-in-class tools across the rest of the operation.

How to Launch a Dog Park Bar (or Any Eatertainment Venue) That Actually Works

In recent years, a new kind of hospitality experience has taken hold—one that blends activity, atmosphere, and automation. Think food halls with ping pong, taprooms with board games, or in this case: a dog park bar with cold brew and community events. Whether you’re planning a dog-centric venue or another form of eatertainment concept, one thing is clear: if the experience isn’t seamless, guests won’t stay long—and they won’t come back.
