One QR code for a list that changes every week. Every pour names the maker, and carries a link of your choosing back to you.
Guests score what they taste and keep it. You get ratings with the producer attached — evidence to bring the makers you pour.

Last-minute additions and deletions will not be on a menu you printed on Monday. Something runs out mid-shift, something new arrives, and the printed list stays wrong until somebody reprints it — so staff correct it by hand, table by table.
A single estate can train one story into every pourer. A room pouring a dozen makers cannot, so the sheet has to do the explaining — and the sheet is six point type in a dim room.
Paper keeps no record, so a guest who wants to remember something types it into a consumer rating app — one that catalogues the bottle and never notes where they were drinking it. You built the evening; what they keep is a product entry with your room nowhere in it.
A guest loved exactly one pour out of the flight. A printed list gives them nowhere to go with that, and one link at the bottom of a page sends everybody to the same place regardless of what they liked. The interest was real and there was nothing to do with it.
What sold tells you what your staff pushed, what sat at the top of the list, and what was cheapest that week. It does not tell you what anyone actually liked. So the next order is guesswork wearing the costume of data, and the pour that quietly scored highest all month never comes back.
They cannot remember the name, the maker, or how it was spelled. The room was dark, the label was in another language, and the sheet went in a coat pocket.
Edit the menu and it is live. Pull the keg that blew, add the maker who arrived this morning, run a different list Friday than Sunday. The QR code on the table never changes, so nothing you have already printed goes stale.
Producer is a field on the pour, not an afterthought in the description. The guest sees the maker on the card while the glass is in front of them, which is the only moment they will ever connect the two.
Each pour carries its own link and you choose where it goes — the product page if you sell online, your club sign-up, your events page, or simply your front door. You pour other people’s labels, but the link is yours: the maker’s name sits on the pour where it belongs, and the button still sends the guest back to you.
Your dashboard ranks every pour by what guests actually scored it, across everyone who tasted — with the producer beside it so you know who to call. The next order stops being a guess assembled from what somebody overheard on a busy Saturday and becomes a list, in order, of what your room liked best.
They save the flight to a free journal and it keeps your branding, the producer on every pour, and your purchase links — frozen as it was the night they were in. Weeks later they can find the one they liked and act on it, off a page with your name at the top.
A guest points their camera at the QR code on the table or the bar. The menu opens in their browser — no app, no download, no account to start.
They score each pour from 1 to 10 in half-point steps as it is poured, on your branded menu with your banner at the top.
They add whatever they want to remember, next to the pour and the producer who made it.
They save the flight to a free journal with an email link. The saved copy keeps every maker’s name and every link back to you exactly as they were that night.
Your club button is saved with the flight, so it is waiting every time they open it. The guest who was not ready to commit at the bar can join weeks later, from the tasting they kept — the ask does not expire when they walk out.
Most rooms are not comparing two apps. They are comparing a printed list, the chalkboard, whatever their POS puts on a screen, and a PDF behind a QR code.

TasteFlights does not ring up the sale and is not trying to replace your POS. It sits alongside it and owns the part your POS has no opinion about — what the guest thought, and whether they can find it again.
Yes. Producer is its own field on every pour, alongside the name, style, vintage or batch, and ABV, and it appears on the card the guest is looking at while the glass is in front of them.
You can also search and filter your own inventory by producer, which matters once the list is long enough that names blur.
It is the case this is built for. Editing a menu takes seconds and the change is live immediately — no reprint, no re-export, no new QR code.
The QR code belongs to the menu, not to its contents, so the card on the table stays correct no matter how many times the lineup turns over.
You can see it yourself: your dashboard lists every pour with its average score and its producer beside it, searchable by producer, across everyone who saved a tasting.
To be straight about the limit — there is no producer login and no export button today. Sharing the number means telling them, or showing them your screen. If that turns into a real need, it is worth asking for.
No. The QR code opens a web page in whatever browser is already on the phone, and no account is needed to start rating.
An account is only required to save a flight, and that is a free email sign-in with no password. There is an optional iPhone app for guests who want their journal on the home screen.
No, and that is deliberate. You see aggregate numbers — average score per pour, scans, saves, and link clicks. You never see an individual guest’s notes or their identity next to a rating.
That line is what makes guests willing to write something honest, which is what makes the averages worth anything.
Partly, and it is worth knowing before you commit. The menu is a web page, so the first load needs a working connection — no signal and no guest wifi means the QR code will not open.
After that first load the page caches, and once a guest has saved a flight the iPhone app keeps their journal readable offline and syncs changes when they reconnect. If coverage is genuinely dead at the bar, guest wifi is the fix.
The free plan is free permanently, with no card: two menus, twenty-five pours, manual and spreadsheet entry, your own banner, the full style picker, and full analytics.
