Frankie & Fanucci's High-Tech, Self-Serve Tap Room Takes the Craft Beer and Wine Experience to a New Level

Frankie & Fanucci’s Wood Oven Pizzeria in Mamaroneck, NY (301 Mamaroneck Ave.) recently re-launched its business with a whole new look and a state-of-the-art self-service taproom. The new Tap Room at Frankie & Fanucci’s offers a rotating list of 30+ craft beers and wines on tap. You no longer have to flag down a server or bartender to help you, you can pour it yourself!

The concept is simple. You get a card with a chip in it. After your card is authorized by a staff member (ensuring you are 21 years old), you tap it on a touch screen tablet above the brew of your choice, pour and enjoy. When you’re done, return the card for an itemized receipt. The best part is that you only pay for what you pour via a pay-by-the-ounce system. The system has responsibility controls built in to help ensure guests don’t over pour and become intoxicated.

“Craft beer is booming and we wanted to take the experience to a new level. We’re using cutting-edge technology to put the customer in control and give them an incredible interactive experience. Being able to pour and pay by the ounce allows people to explore many different things and not worry about ordering a whole beer you may or may not like,” says co-owner Brad Nagy. Nagy, and his partner Angelo Viscoso, are lifelong friends who share a passion for authentic pizza. Now, they are cooking up this new self-serve technology, along with their award-winning, wood-fired pizzas. What’s better than thin-crust wood-fired pizza and being able to pour your own craft beer or wine? We haven’t figured it out yet!
