In this episode of Small Biz Florida, host Tom Kindred broadcasts from the 2025 Florida Brewers Guild Conference in downtown Tampa, where the spotlight is on innovation and tech solutions in the craft brewing industry. Tom sits down with Frank Pernicano, founder of BeerMS—a customizable menu management and digital display system designed specifically for breweries and bars.
Frank shares his journey from web application development to launching BeerMS, a platform that helps brewery owners streamline operations and enhance the customer experience with real-time digital menus. The conversation touches on the importance of brand consistency, flexibility in menu updates, and the value of using technology to create a more engaging taproom experience.
Frank also offers advice to fellow entrepreneurs, explaining how he built BeerMS while working a full-time job and how he's positioning the product to expand beyond breweries into bars and other beverage-focused venues.
This podcast episode was recorded live at the 2025 Florida Brewers Guild Conference hosted at the Tampa Marriott Water Street. This podcast is made possible by the Florida SBDC Network and sponsored by Florida First Capital.
