05/17/23 • 42 min
In this episode of the Franchise Founders Podcast, co-host Christian Dadulak interviews guest Joseph Tota, the founder of Tapville. Joseph shares his entrepreneurial journey and how he came up with the concept for his business. He talks about his background as a management consultant and his realization of the problems in the restaurant industry, such as staffing issues, waste, and lack of data analytics. This led him to develop his own concept for a technology-forward hospitality operation with a tap room where customers can pour their own beer using a card and a tap wall. Joseph also discusses the expansion of Tapville through franchising, with upcoming locations and different formats, including kiosks in shopping malls and mobile tap rooms at festivals. The concept focuses on using technology to create a better guest experience and offers opportunities for entrepreneurs to grow within the system.
The conversation highlights the unique aspects of Tapville, including its scalability and emphasis on data analytics. Joseph explains how the brand differentiates itself by leveraging the wealth of customer data they collect. This data helps with inventory management, allows for personalized marketing, and enhances customer retention. The franchise model also provides training and support to ensure consistency across locations. Joseph emphasizes the inclusivity of the concept, offering different ownership options that cater to entrepreneurs at various stages and financial levels. The interview showcases the innovative and customer-centric nature of tapville, providing a fresh perspective on adult dining and entertainment.
