Taplist Management

Your RaspberryPints taplist is a powerful digital beer menu that you can manage from anywhere. This section covers everything you need to know about managing your beers, configuring taps, and customizing your display.

What You Can Do with Your Taplist

Your taplist management system provides:

Important: Enable Public Access

Your taplist defaults to private! After setup, customers cannot view your taplist until you enable public access.

To make your taplist public:

1. Access your admin interface at yourbrewery.taplists.raspberrypints.com/admin
2. Go to Settings
3. Find "Enable public taplist" checkbox in Basic Information section
4. Check the box to enable public access
