One way to sell more out of your taproom is to invest in more taps or stock more branded gear to offer consumers. But that version of “selling more” requires cash up front and doesn’t necessarily guarantee payback quickly. Instead, you may be looking for a way to increase sales that doesn’t require you to spend capital first! In this session, we’ll walk thru strategies and plans that can equip your staff members with knowledge and low-to-no-cost tools required to increase sales.

It’s no surprise that consumers hold brewery taprooms to higher standards when it comes to service and product knowledge than the local craft beer bar. And now add that during inflationary times, customers who are willing to pay more for your experience, expect more from it as well. Is your staff ready to meet these expectations? How are you coaching them up? What tools do they have to help them be successful?

During this session, we will wrestle with tough questions like these that successful taprooms are willing to conquer. You will leave this presentation with a better understanding of what your customers expect, tools for staff members, and a plan to implement some simple strategies that can increase your taproom revenue.
