Brewery Taproom & Winery Tasting Room

Introduction

Making drinks and selling them are two different jobs, and this category covers both. On the making side, software records batches, tanks, barrels and kegs, and produces the excise or duty reports that authorities require. On the selling side, it runs the taproom or tasting room till, wine or beer clubs, online shops and visit bookings. Some products do only one half, such as keg tracking or wine club billing. Others join production, sales and accounting in one system built on a large business platform. Rules for excise, shipping alcohol and direct sales differ by country and state, so buyers should check what each product covers.

Who needs it

Breweries, wineries, cideries and distilleries that sell direct to visitors, run a club or send stock to wholesalers usually need this. It becomes worth having when batch records or duty returns take days to assemble, or when club members and tasting room sales sit in separate systems.
