TAP
Self-pour taps, glass by glass
4 taps, 16 wines by the glass. Guests pay in the app and pour exactly the amount they choose.
Guests pour their own glasses, pick their own bottles and help themselves from the fridge.
Owners focus on the food and recommendations.
TAP SHOP BAR puts three ways to enjoy wine in one store. Have a single glass, buy a bottle to take home, or sit down for a meal.
4 taps, 16 wines by the glass. Guests pay in the app and pour exactly the amount they choose.
200 wines by the bottle. Open one at the table or take it home. The app recommends bottles to match each guest's taste.
30 grab-and-go snacks in the fridge, cooked-to-order dishes and a cafe menu. The signature dish: tteokbokki (Korean spicy rice cakes) made to pair with wine.
The hard part of running a wine bar is staffing: someone to recommend, someone to pour, someone to take payment. TAP SHOP BAR hands that work to taps, an app and refrigerators.
Our in-house wine dispenser pours precise, preset measures and keeps opened wine fresh.
The app handles ordering, payment, age verification and wine recommendations. Wine and food stock levels also show in the app.
Guests pick up bottles and snacks from the fridges and shelves themselves, so there are far fewer trips to the tables.
For the busy evening hours, we recommend adding one part-time staff member.
Taps and refrigerators go on the wall to the left of the entrance, the counter and kitchen straight ahead, seating along the right wall, and a wine display deck in the middle.
Photos show company-owned stores. The size and layout of a franchise store depend on the premises. Smaller stores of around 50 m² and larger stores of 100 m² or more are also open to discussion.
Since 2022, TAP SHOP BAR has run company-owned stores in central Seoul, refining the tap machines, the app and day-to-day operations firsthand. The franchise model adapts that experience to a smaller store format.
We have developed our wine dispenser in-house, now in its 4th generation. Headquarters monitors and manages every unit remotely.
Ordering, payment, inventory and sales settlement run on one connected system, so owners don't have to reconcile separate books.
Headquarters trains you, and handles the work that happens outside the store.
Every franchise owner must complete this headquarters training course. Even complete beginners finish it before they open.
