Brooklyn brewery taproom with tanks behind the bar

Breweries & taprooms

The beer is the easy part. The room is the business.

Production knows the product. We build the hospitality operation around it: service, labor, events, and a taproom guests want to stay in.

The problem

Most brewery operators come from production. That's a strength until Saturday hits and the room is three-deep with no steps of service, no sidework, and a labor model copied from a restaurant that doesn't apply.

What Smooth does

Service standards for beer people who didn't grow up on the floor. Realistic weekend labor. Events that sell beer instead of distracting from it. Food programs that don't wreck a kitchen you don't have. Inventory and vendors that talk to production instead of fighting it.

What you receive

A taproom operating system for the room you actually have. Then training for the team you already employ, including the brewers who get pulled onto the floor.
