In this episode of the Franchise My Business podcast, we are joined by Joseph Tota, the CEO and Founder of Tapville. He talks about how they rolled crowdfunding for investors, beer, and tech into one innovative franchise.
They crowdfunded $1.5 million and developed Tapville University, their training program, and hired support staff to help them scale. Tapville utilizes self-pour technology and Joseph shares how they developed their 3 franchise models: restaurants, mobile kiosks and drink-while-you-shop, and mobile tap room.
As tech is central to the operations of Tapville, Joseph also mentions the different tools that make Tapville hum but also how tech enables a culture around people who share the same values.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
The 3 franchise models of Tapville – Joseph: “At the top of the list is the restaurant concept. That’s a brick-and-mortar. It’s a full-service restaurant, typically average around 5,000 square feet.”
“The kiosk is, right now we’re calling them drink-while-you-shop locations and the capital requirements are a lot less for a kiosk.”
“The third one is the mobile tap room. This one is more of a weekend warrior job because most of the events take place on the weekends.”
