Taproom: The power to sample freely
iPourIt technology shines the brightest when utilized in fast-casual restaurants, event venues, and brewery taprooms. Customers flock to breweries to be able to try new drinks, making the self-serve tap room an ideal setup. According to Nielson data, 42% of US consumers are visiting taprooms more than they were in the year before. Hop onto this fast-moving train and give your customers a unique experience that will make them return.
With iPourIt self-pour systems, customers can try, test, taste, sip, and sample as they please. But now it’s on their tab, not yours.
Fast facts
Experiences
Millennials (especially ages 21-34) are seeking out new places to drink, and creative new experiences to engage with craft beverages
Sampling
55% of U.S. consumers said that the key reason they visit taprooms and brewpubs is because “they wanted to sample a variety of offerings”
Variety
Females are driven more by the appeal of variety (58%) over males (53%)
Gross Margin
iPourIt self-serve taprooms recognize a 70-82% gross margin for alcohol on average
The Power To Taste
Customers often do not come to taprooms and do not think deliberately about what they’re ordering; they come to breweries for the variety. The iPourIt system allows them to taste and sample at their leisure without wasting any of the keg yield.
Learn at Their Own Pace
With so much variety, some customers can get overwhelmed. The iPourIt tap screens allow them to learn about the offered beverages at their own pace without any worry about monopolizing the time of one brewery taproom employee.
Have a Unique Experience
Going to a brewery is a brand-new and novel experience for some people. And a self-serve tap room ups the novelty even more. Even the most well-traveled brewery superfan will likely not have come across this model. Consumers, especially younger consumers like Gen Z and Millenials, are always looking for new experiences.
Focus on What Matters
The iPourIt system doesn’t fully eliminate the need for staff; it merely frees up the staff to talk with the customers more, ensure that everyone is having a safe, fun time, and share their knowledge.

Tap selection tips for taprooms
While sampling is a huge part of the self-pour experience, our data shows that “loyalist” or traditional lagers are the top-seller across the board. This is a must-have.
Hard seltzers are hot! So is hard cider and kombucha. We recommend reserving a few taps.
Our data shows that female customers are less price sensitive and tend to go for premium products like red and white wine. One or two of each will do the trick.
Use the TapVision™ Business Intelligence tool to see what customers are drinking and which slow-moving products need to be swapped out.
