Brewery POS
The POS Built for Breweries, Taprooms & Dog Park Bars
Tabski handles the complexity modern taprooms actually face — Smart Tabs that sync mobile and bar POS in real time, food vendor ordering, KDS kitchen routing, and automated reporting. All in one platform built for high-volume, multi-concept venues.
What Breweries See After Switching to Tabski
Smart Tabs™ — Mobile & Bar POS, Perfectly in Sync
The biggest pain in any taproom: a guest opens a tab on their phone, then walks up to the bar. Now there are two tabs. Tabski's Smart Tabs eliminates this entirely — one tab, visible and editable from both the guest's phone and your bartender's POS at the same time.
Whether a guest adds a flight from their phone or a bartender rings another pint at the bar, it all lands on the same unified tab. No copy-paste, no duplicate checks, no "which tab is real?" at close-out.
Guest opens a tab from QR or kiosk
They scan at the table, bar, or patio — no app download required. Tab stays open while they explore the taproom.
Staff sees the same tab in POS instantly
Bartenders and servers can add items, apply discounts, and route to the KDS — all on the same live check.
Guest closes out from their phone — or the bar
Split payments, tip, receipt — handled from either side. Clean close-out every time.
Every Kind of Taproom. One Platform.
Tabski is used across the full range of brewery and bar formats — from single-tap tasting rooms to massive dog park complexes with multiple food vendors.
Craft Brewery Taprooms
Fast counter service, tab management, flight orders, and taplist reporting — built for volume without chaos.
Dog Park Bars
Patio QR ordering, mobile tabs that follow guests around the park, and food vendor ordering from one cart — all synced.
Multi-Concept Breweries
Run a taproom, a kitchen, and a retail shop from one Tabski account with isolated reporting per concept.
Taprooms with Food Vendors
Independent food stalls inside your taproom? Guests order beer and food in one cart, vendors settle separately.
Everything a Modern Brewery Needs, Nothing It Doesn't
QR Code Ordering
Guests scan at any table, bar seat, or patio spot and order without leaving. Reduces lines at the bar and boosts reorder rates across long sessions.
Open Tab Syncing
Mobile tabs and POS tabs stay perfectly in sync. Staff can add items or close out from the bar; guests can add items or pay from their phone. One tab, no confusion.
Kitchen Display System (KDS)
Food orders route directly to your kitchen or food vendor's KDS the moment they're placed — from any channel. SMS pickup alerts keep service fast.
Multi-Vendor Ordering
If you host independent food vendors, guests order beer and food in one unified cart. Each vendor settles separately — no manual reconciliation.
Card on File & Tabs
Guests open a tab with a card on file and keep drinking — no card swap at every round. Bartenders close with one tap at the end of the night.
Taproom Reporting
Real-time sales by product, category, and server. See your top-selling beers, busiest hours, and average tab size — exportable, no spreadsheet required.
Dynamic Pricing
Set happy hour pricing automatically by time of day or day of week. No manual menu changes — just set the schedule and let Tabski handle it.
Branded Mobile App & Loyalty
A branded app for your taproom with loyalty rewards, exclusive menus, and push notifications. Turn first-time visitors into regulars.
Offline Mode
Keep pouring and processing payments even when the internet goes down. Everything syncs automatically when you reconnect — no lost tabs.
Host Food Vendors Without the Operational Nightmare
More breweries are bringing in independent food vendors — food trucks, pop-ups, and permanent stalls. The problem: your POS wasn't built for it. Guests have to place two separate orders, and you're manually reconciling vendor payments every week.
Tabski handles food vendors natively. Guests order beer and food in one cart, pay once, and the system routes beer to your bar team and food to the vendor's KDS automatically. Vendor settlement happens at batch — no chasing payments, no spreadsheets.
Keep Guests Ordering From Anywhere on Your Property
Dog park bars and taprooms with large outdoor spaces have a unique problem — guests don't want to walk back to the bar every round. Tabski's QR ordering lets guests reorder from anywhere on the property, with their tab staying open the whole visit.
Place QR codes at picnic tables, dog park benches, patio furniture, and lawn chairs. Every scan goes back to the same open tab, and runners get notified when orders are ready to deliver.
Sell Merch, Crowlers & Taproom Reservations Online
Tabski's online ordering isn't just for food — breweries use it for crowler and growler pre-orders, merchandise, brewery tour reservations, and event ticket sales. Everything flows into the same POS and fulfillment workflow.
No third-party commission. No separate platform to manage. Your branded ordering page, your customers, your revenue.

Brewery POS — FAQ
What makes Tabski different from other brewery POS systems?
Most POS systems were designed for single-concept restaurants. Tabski was built for the complexity of modern taprooms — where guests move around a large space, open tabs at the bar and on their phones, order from multiple food vendors, and expect a seamless experience. Smart Tabs (mobile + POS sync), multi-vendor food ordering, and automated vendor payouts are all native features, not add-ons.
What are Smart Tabs and how do they work for breweries?
Smart Tabs is Tabski's tab-syncing technology. When a guest opens a tab on their phone via QR code, that same tab immediately appears in the bartender's POS as a real open check. Either side can add items, apply discounts, or close out. It eliminates the classic brewery problem of a guest having one tab on their phone and another at the bar — and the awkward reconciliation at the end of the night.
Can I use Tabski for a dog park bar or large outdoor venue?
Yes — this is a core use case. Tabski's QR ordering works anywhere you can place a QR code: picnic tables, benches, lawn chairs, and outdoor structures. Guests keep the same open tab as they move around the property and reorder without walking back to the bar. Runners get SMS alerts when orders are ready to deliver to the guest's location.
Does Tabski support independent food vendors inside a taproom?
Yes. If you host an independent food truck or food stall inside or attached to your taproom, Tabski lets guests order beer and food in one cart and pay once. The system routes each item to the correct team — beer to your bar, food to the vendor's KDS — and handles separate vendor settlement automatically at batch processing.
How does Tabski handle happy hour pricing for breweries?
Tabski's dynamic pricing lets you schedule automatic price changes by time of day or day of week. Happy hour pricing activates and deactivates on its own — no manual menu edits, no forgetting to switch it back. You can set different schedules for different product categories or individual items.
Can Tabski handle high-volume taproom rushes?
Yes. Tabski includes order throttling, which automatically paces incoming orders during peak periods so your bar and kitchen aren't overwhelmed simultaneously. Combined with KDS routing and Smart Tabs, your team can handle high volume with fewer errors and faster service.
How much does a brewery POS system cost?
Tabski's pricing depends on your venue size, number of concepts, and feature needs. See the full pricing page or book a demo to get a tailored quote for your taproom.
