How drinkers and venues switch
Step 1
Keep the TV, add the street
Publish taps once. Use included broadcast mode on the taproom screen and the same list on your public Google-indexed profile.
Step 2
Claim the city listing
Attach hours, amenities, and photos so “breweries near me with food trucks” can resolve to your room, not only to guests already inside.
Step 3
Print the QR placard
Table tents deep-link to the live list so phones never need a separate Taplist.io workflow.
Ready to leave Taplist.io?
Same night, two doors: find a taproom in the browser, or claim the free profile if you pour there.
