Setting Up Your Brewery

This guide walks you through the complete workflow of getting your brewery set up and running with RaspberryPints. We'll point you to our detailed guides for each step while keeping you focused on the big picture.

Your Setup Journey

Here's the complete process from start to finish:

  1. Create Account → Choose License → Set Up Brewery → Access Taplist

Let's walk through each step:

Step 1: Create Your RaspberryPints Account

What you'll do: Sign up, verify your email, and get logged in.

Follow this guide: Creating Your Account

Key points:

  • Use a secure password with the required complexity
  • Check your email for the 6-digit verification code
  • You'll be automatically logged in after verification

What's next: Once you're logged in, you'll land on your My Account page where you can purchase a license.

Step 2: Choose and Purchase Your License

What you'll do: Select the right plan for your brewery and complete the purchase (or choose free tier).

Follow this guide: Purchasing a License

Quick decision help:

  • Free Tier: 3 taps, basic features - great for testing
  • Basic Plan: 8 taps, custom branding - perfect for small-medium breweries
  • Professional Plan: 100 taps, custom branding, priority support - ideal for larger operations

What's next: Your new license will appear in your My Account page, ready for brewery setup.

Step 3: Set Up Your Brewery Profile

What you'll do: Create your brewery profile and get your unique raspberrypints.com URL.

Follow this guide: Brewery Setup and Assignment

Key outcome: You'll get two important URLs:

  • Public taplist: https://yourbrewery.taplists.raspberrypints.com (for customers)
  • Admin interface: https://yourbrewery.taplists.raspberrypints.com/admin (for you to manage)

What's next: Your brewery is live! Important: Your taplist defaults to private, so you'll need to enable public access for customers to view it.

Step 4: Access Your Digital Taplist

Now you have everything you need to manage your digital beer menu:

For Your Customers: Public Taplist

URL: https://yourbrewery.taplists.raspberrypints.com

Your customers can:

  • View your current beers on tap
  • See descriptions, styles, ABV, and other details
  • Access this anytime from any device
  • No login required

Share it everywhere:

  • Give customers the direct URL
  • Create QR codes for easy access
  • Display on TVs or tablets in your brewery
  • Link from your brewery website

For You: Admin Interface

URL: https://yourbrewery.taplists.raspberrypints.com/admin

You can:

  • Add and edit your beer database
  • Configure which beers are currently on tap
  • Customize appearance with themes or the Display Editor (Basic+)
  • Design printable PDF menus with the Menu Builder (Basic+)
  • Invite team members and assign roles (Basic+)
  • Generate QR codes and website embeds
  • Upload your brewery logo

Access: Requires login to your RaspberryPints account

Immediate Actions

  2. Make taplist public - Enable public access in Settings (defaults to private)
