About
BeerMS is a specialized menu management and digital display platform designed exclusively for breweries and bars. It empowers venue owners to create and manage fully branded, customizable menus that can be displayed across any number of digital screens — from a single tap list to a multi-screen bar setup with 100+ drafts. Menus are updated in real time from one central dashboard, and changes instantly sync across digital signage, QR code menus, websites, social media pages, and mobile apps simultaneously. QR code menus support both live updating content and PDF files, making it flexible for food and drink offerings alike. An intelligent offline mode ensures that if the internet goes down, the last valid menu stays displayed — eliminating blank or broken screens. The platform also supports dynamic ad space, allowing venues to display video, images, and promotional content alongside their menus. BeerMS also offers TapTop, a sleek tabletop interactive device that brings menus, event info, merchandise, trivia apps, and mobile device charging directly to customers' seats — boosting engagement and average visit time. Role-based access control lets staff have limited dashboard access as needed. At $350/year with all features included and no per-feature upsells, BeerMS is a straightforward, budget-friendly solution for hospitality venues looking to modernize their customer experience and increase upsell opportunities.
