Why it works

Guests don't write reviews about thread counts.
They write reviews about draft beer.

A kegerator sets your listing apart from hundreds of other "cozy retreats" in your market — and pays for itself.

💰

Justify a higher nightly rate

Premium amenities command premium prices. Hosts in our network add $20–40/night after listing the kegerator — more than covering the $59/mo rental.

Guests post about it

A kegerator with rotating local craft beer is a talking point. Guests Instagram it, mention it in reviews, and tell friends. You get free marketing without lifting a finger.

Built-in social reach
🤖

Zero host effort

Guest scans the QR card to order a refill. It ships during your gap days. You get a single monthly invoice — no phone calls, no logistics, no guessing what beer is stocked.

Conservative estimate. Amenity fee covers TapDrop cost; rate uplift (hosts typically add $15–30/night to listings with kegerators) is upside on top. Your market, season, and listing quality all affect actual results.

What guests see

The reviews write themselves.

A kegerator on the patio is the kind of detail guests mention by name. These are the kinds of reviews hosts in our network receive after adding draft beer as an amenity.

★★★★★ 5.0 · Airbnb

"Hands down the most memorable Airbnb stay I've had. The kegerator on the back porch was stocked with a local IPA — we sat outside both nights just because of it. Already recommended this place to three friends."

"This property went straight into my favorites. The craft beer tap was a total surprise — we had a stout and a wheat on rotation the whole week. The host thought of everything. Rebooked for New Year's already."

"The kegerator alone is worth booking this place. We had a beach lager on tap all weekend — it was the first thing our group asked about when they saw the listing. Honestly, it sold the trip."

How it works

Set it once. We handle the rest.

Four steps. One monthly invoice. No logistics headaches.

1

Set up at each property

We ship the kegerator and your first keg. You plug it in. We send a QR card to leave on the unit — 15 minutes, done.

2

Guests order their own refills

Guests scan the QR card to browse beers and order a refill — charged to your TapDrop host account. You choose the approval threshold.

3

We restock between stays

Refills arrive during your gap days. No host coordination required. 21+ ID verification handled on every delivery.

4

Recoup via amenity fee

Pass the keg cost to guests via a standard amenity or cleaning fee. Many hosts charge $10–20/stay and come out ahead on keg costs alone.

Insurance & compliance

You never touch alcohol sales.
That's on us.

Hosts rent the equipment and provide an amenity. We're the licensed shipper who handles all regulatory requirements — you're providing hospitality, not running a bar.

🪪

21+ ID on every delivery

We verify age via Veratad AgeID on every order. Deliveries are never left unattended. You can also print guest-facing "21+ property" signage (included in your host kit).

📋

Licensed shipper in all 50 states

TapDrop holds the alcohol shipping licenses. You hold the kegerator. Your liability is the same as having a coffee maker — you're providing an appliance, not selling alcohol.

🏠

Airbnb & VRBO ToS aligned

Providing a kegerator as an amenity is standard hospitality. You're not selling alcohol to guests — you're offering an appliance, exactly like a wine fridge.

🗺️

State-by-state compliance handled

Multi-state portfolios supported. Properties in FL, TX, CA, NY — all covered under a single host account. We adjust for state-specific shipping regulations automatically.

The ROI math

One extra 5-star review = ~$200 in future bookings.

Single Property plan is $79/mo. Here's the arithmetic on whether it pays for itself.

Illustrative estimates based on host network data. Actual results vary by market, listing quality, and occupancy. The kegerator doesn't guarantee reviews — it just gives guests one more thing to love.

What guests see

A welcome card that explains everything.

Every host kit includes a downloadable guest welcome card. Print it, laminate it, leave it next to the kegerator. We handle the rest.

Common questions

Answers up front.

The questions every host and property manager asks before signing up.

Yes. Restocking is scheduled during your gap days based on your check-in calendar. The keg arrives and is ready before the next guest checks in. If your gap is under 24 hours, flag it during onboarding and we'll pre-stage a fresh keg before your last guest departs. Most hosts give their cleaner or property manager a heads-up to accept the delivery — we confirm the process during setup.
Guests can scan the QR card to request a refill, which ships within 1–2 business days. For large groups or long stays, you can also pre-set an auto-restock trigger from your host dashboard — we ship a second keg when the first is close to empty. You can optionally display a note on the welcome card (included in the host kit) reminding guests of the 5L keg size (~42 pours) so expectations are set upfront.
Yes — all 50 states under one host account. Properties in FL, TX, CA, TN, CO — we handle each state's compliance rules automatically (dry county checks, ABV restrictions, Sunday delivery blocks where applicable). You get a single consolidated invoice across all markets. Portfolio Operator plan hosts get a dedicated account manager who tracks each property's schedule, state restrictions, and restock timing so you don't have to.
TapDrop charges one monthly subscription (per tier) plus keg refill costs as they're ordered. Sales tax on alcohol shipments is calculated and remitted by TapDrop — you don't handle it. Single-property plans receive one invoice per month. Portfolio Operator plans get a consolidated invoice covering all properties, with a per-property line-item breakdown for your records. Net 30 invoicing is available for portfolio operators.
Not at all. Non-drinkers simply don't use the kegerator — it's an opt-in amenity, not a compulsory feature. In reviews, non-drinking guests consistently mention it as a thoughtful addition for groups ("great for my friends who drink, and they loved it"). It's similar to having a game room or a hot tub — guests who want it love it, and those who don't just ignore it. The 21+ requirement is clearly stated in the listing and on the welcome card.
You're providing an appliance — the same legal position as having a wine fridge or liquor cabinet. TapDrop is the licensed shipper and handles all alcohol transaction compliance (21+ ID verification, state licensing). You're not selling alcohol to guests. Consult your STR insurance provider to confirm your coverage; most standard STR policies cover beverage-related amenities in the same bucket as pools or fire pits. We provide ID verification templates and signage for your property so compliance is visible.

What hosts say

"It's the first amenity guests mention by name — and the one that made us raise our rate."
