iPourIt launches next-gen self-pour kiosk for hotels, venues and restaurants

iPourIt has introduced a freestanding self-pour kiosk that lets operators add beverage service without building a traditional bar. The system is now available in multiple tap configurations and is already installed across nine states.

Why it matters: - The kiosk gives hotels, entertainment venues and restaurants a way to add beverage revenue in spaces that cannot support a full bar buildout. - Operators can use the same system for paid service, complimentary drinks or membership perks. - The format is designed to reduce construction, staffing and millwork needs while still supporting a branded guest experience.

What happened: - iPourIt introduced its next-generation Self-Pour Kiosk on October 28, 2026. - The freestanding unit combines integrated draft equipment, a redesigned touchscreen and iPourIt’s self-pour platform in one customizable system. - The kiosk is available in 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-tap configurations. - iPourIt positioned the product for hospitality, entertainment and other venues that want beverage service without a traditional bar.

The details: - Operators can price beverages by the ounce or by drink size. - The kiosk supports beer, wine, cocktails, cold brew, kombucha, premium sodas, seltzer and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. - The touchscreen guides guests through beverage selection and pouring. - Payment options include Open Tab and Prepaid Tab with an RFID card or wristband, Pay to Pour with a built-in credit card terminal, and Scan to Pour with a QR code and mobile payment. - Staff manage the program while guests pour their own drinks. - iPourIt’s software measures and records every ounce poured and provides real-time pour and inventory data. - An on-demand gas switching system lets operators choose CO₂ or nitrogen for each tap. - Built-in liquid cooling, an ADA-compliant design and auto-closing faucets support daily service. - Operators can customize the unit with vinyl wraps and tap handles. - Installation and staff training are included. - The company also offers custom branding options. - A more information link is available at ipourit.com.

Between the lines: - The product is built around flexibility, which lets operators match beverage service to different venue types and guest behaviors. - The kiosk also gives operators more control over inventory and service without relying on a traditional bar team. - Early adoption across multiple venue categories suggests the system is being positioned as a modular alternative to fixed bar construction. - Flinn Flexer, iPourIt’s CEO, said the system can turn underused space in hotels and entertainment venues into beverage revenue. - Nate Groenendal, owner of Golf Haus, said members respond positively to the self-pour setup and the simple guest experience.

What's next: - iPourIt said additional installations are scheduled after the first rollout began in February 2026. - The company is offering the kiosk for immediate availability in all four tap configurations. - Prospective buyers can explore specifications, calculate ROI or request a quote through the company website.

The bottom line: - iPourIt is betting that a self-contained, self-pour kiosk can widen beverage service beyond traditional bars and into more flexible venue formats.
