With self-serve tap systems, there are clear advantages to both the customers and the owners. For the customers, the most obvious benefit is the amount of time saved: simply put, there is no waiting. The customers simply load their RFID cards and dispense the beer (or any other beverage) of their choice, in a quantity they want, whenever they want.

For the owners, self-pour taps bring increased profit from boosted beverage consumption. Customers tend to taste many drinks before finding their favorite, which increases the overall amount spent relative to a regular bar. Another main benefit on the operational side is reduced product waste: no free samples or items “forgotten” to be placed at the POS. Self-pour is also much more efficient, as staff can serve other customers and handle different necessary tasks while self-serve patrons enjoy themselves at the beverage wall. In addition, your staff won’t need to spend any extra time pulling beers from the tap anymore, which translates to less labor needed overall. Currently, it is hard to find and retain good bartenders because the hospitality industry is very unpredictable. Veteran bartenders are leaving the hospitality-world to find something more stable, but self-pour technology can eliminate this issue in your establishment.
