Quick answer
A practical checklist for pubs, taprooms, and sports bars when rotating taps change. Use it to update tap names, styles, ABV, prices, and sold-out taps before guests scan and prevent situations where guests order beers that just kicked.
What this checklist helps you prevent
This restaurant beer tap list checklist is built for pubs, taprooms, and sports bars. It fits the drinks menus workflow and should run when rotating taps change so menu changes are visible where guests actually make decisions: the live QR menu, staff talking points, printed QR materials, and menu links shared online.
Best use case
Use it when the restaurant needs a repeatable way to update tap names, styles, ABV, prices, and sold-out taps before guests scan. The likely guest scenario is that guests order beers that just kicked, so the checklist starts from what guests scan and read, then works backward to the kitchen, bar, staff, and manager handoff.
Restaurant Beer Tap List Checklist readiness table
| Area | What to verify | Guest risk | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Menu accuracy | Check item names, prices, categories, and unavailable items when rotating taps change. | guests order beers that just kicked | bar manager |
| QR menu path | Scan the QR code or open the shared menu link from a phone before guests use it. | Guests land on an old or broken menu. | front-of-house lead |
| Staff notes | Give staff the same wording guests will see in the live menu. | Servers explain the menu inconsistently. | service manager |
| Kitchen handoff | Confirm what the kitchen can actually prepare during the next service window. | The menu promises items the kitchen cannot support. | kitchen lead |
| Guest clarity | Review descriptions, tags, photos, and availability from a guest's point of view. | Guests ask avoidable clarification questions. | menu owner |
| After-action review | Capture scan data, item-view patterns, staff questions, and fixes for the next update. | The same problem repeats next service. | bar manager |
Restaurant Beer Tap List Checklist items
How to run the checklist
Review the current guest-facing menu
Start with the live QR menu, not an internal spreadsheet, so you catch what guests will actually see when rotating taps change.
Confirm the operational source of truth
Ask the kitchen, bar, or service lead which items, prices, times, and notes have changed before editing public copy.
Publish the smallest accurate update
Update the live menu, QR destination, staff notes, or availability markers before guests scan the menu.
Close the loop after service
Use staff feedback and menu analytics to decide whether the checklist needs a clearer item name, category, photo, or description.
Start with the guest view
The strongest version of this checklist starts from the public menu. If guests scan a QR code and see stale information, the internal prep work did not fully reach the guest experience.
How this connects to your digital menu
A checklist only works if the final update reaches the menu guests actually use. FlipMenu helps restaurants import existing menus, publish QR menus, update items without reprinting, translate menu content, and review menu engagement. It is not a POS, payment, or delivery platform.
For this checklist, the key operating question is simple: after the team completes the task, can a guest scan the QR code and see the correct menu without asking staff to explain outdated information? If not, the checklist should end with a live menu update, a staff note, or a follow-up owner assigned before the next service.
