Are There Alternatives to Untappd for Business?

There are a few other platforms out that offer menu management and print, TV, and digital menus, they reach a much, much smaller audience.

Untappd is the world’s largest social networking platform for craft beer fans, period. With over nine million registered users, we reach a dedicated audience in countries around the globe.

You can search the app on your phone to get a sense of the number of reviews, but ultimately the Untappd user base is unparalleled with millions of folks tuned in. Other tools only reach around tens of thousands of users at best.

Untappd also boasts over three million beers in its database. Eighty-five percent of those brewers in the U.S. actively manage and update their beers on Untappd.

This means we have access to the most accurate and robust beer data available.

For example, the Untappd app has a unique social feature that allows people to “check-in” their beer. A check-in is essentially a virtual record someone makes on their profile to show they drank a certain beer. Because our users check-in beers when they drink them (a function only available on Untappd), we can track local beer trends as well as how many of our users are coming in and buying beers from your business.

This feature provides the true number of active users in your area, where other services may only tell you how many people follow your menu or how many impressions those menus generate.

Oftentimes, if someone only follows your business on a platform or visits your menu on an app, that doesn’t necessarily translate to a purchase. With Untappd for Business, every check-in on your Untappd page translates to an actual beer purchased and consumed at your venue and then shared on our app.

Untappd focuses on actual revenue produced for our partners. Not just mysterious eyeballs on your page. We proudly display your check-in volume and number of subscribers that you have at a given time. To us, this indicates true value—and means we remain fully transparent about the ROI we’re driving for you.

We know you’re not sitting in front of your computer all day. Our Untappd for Business Mobile App allows you to update your menu and events on the fly. Untappd for Business is also available as an app in the iOS App Store and on Android in the Google Play Store.
