Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Taproom Payment Processing 101
Q: What are the simplest pricing models a brewery should understand?
The three main models are dual pricing (cash discount on menus), traditional cash discount, and compliance surcharge, each with regulatory constraints; a transparent provider will clearly lay out all costs and signage requirements.
Taproom Payment Processing 101
Q: What does good service and support look like from a payment processor?
Good service includes clear contact points, defined response times, and a proven ability to troubleshoot with both the processor and the POS provider, ensuring the brewery can quickly resolve issues and maintain operations.
Taproom Payment Processing 101
Q: So what is the difference between a POS system and a payment processor?
A POS is a broad system that can manage inventory, customer experience, and payments, while a payment processor specifically handles the movement and settlement of card payments; many POS solutions are processor-agnostic and may integrate with different processors depending on the business needs.
Pilot Project’s Playbook for Launching and Scaling Breweries
Q: What barriers do new producers face when trying to launch, and how does Pilot Project help overcome them?
Barriers include the capital costs of production facilities, state-by-state regulatory complexity, and the need for industry expertise. Pilot Project mitigates these by providing production space, regulatory guidance, existing contract templates, and access to a full leadership team—brewing, sales, compliance—so brands can move from idea to market with reduced risk and greater bargaining power.
Pilot Project’s Playbook for Launching and Scaling Breweries
Q: What is the process like to get involved with Pilot Project and what does the screening look like?
Brands apply online; the team reviews the submission for vision, branding, and entrepreneurial mindset, then invites selected candidates to an audition-like pitch with internal and distributor/restaurant representation. If they perform well, they're offered a bid to become an incubated brand. The process emphasizes diversity, innovation, and a strong brand story, and often requires the founders to be ready to collaborate closely with Pilot's resources.
