The real question with Arryved isn't the mug club - it's whether you want to replace your POS. Arryved is a purpose-built brewery POS (ounce-level pours, taproom ops) that bolts on memberships via TapWyse. MemberZone leaves your POS alone: it adds mug clubs, beer societies, bottle releases, and loyalty on top of the POS you already run (native Toast and Square), with fulfillment built in and no monthly platform fee. Replacing your POS anyway? Arryved bundles it. Keeping your POS? Add MemberZone.
Which is right for you
Skip the spreadsheet. Here's the honest call.
Choose MemberZone if…
- You're happy with your current POS and just want memberships and loyalty added
- You run bottle releases or ship to members and want fulfillment built in
- You want to avoid a monthly platform fee
Choose Arryved if…
- You want to replace your POS with a brewery-native system
- Deep taproom POS operations matter more than the membership layer
Capability scorecard
Line by line, no hand-waving
MemberZone leads on 3 of 5 buyer priorities below. The rest is an honest read of where each tool lands.
| Capability | MemberZone | Arryved |
|---|---|---|
| Do you replace your POS? | No - adds memberships to your existing POS | Yes - Arryved is the POS |
| Monthly platform fee | None on Starter & Growth - percentage of membership volume only; flat monthly at Enterprise | POS + membership pricing (quote-based) |
| Membership models | Mug clubs, bottle releases, subscriptions, tiers | Mug club / beer society via TapWyse add-on |
| Fulfillment & shipping | Carrier labels, pickup, and DTC compliance shipping | Taproom-first; DTC via broader platform |
| Brewery-native POS operations | Integrates with your POS; not a brewery POS itself | Purpose-built brewery POS, ounce-level tracking |
Where Arryved wins
An honest look.
No tool wins every dimension. Here is where Arryved is the better fit.
Arryved is a purpose-built brewery POS with deep taproom operations like ounce-level pours, tabs, and production tooling - things a membership layer doesn't replace.
If you're shopping for a new brewery POS anyway, getting memberships bundled with it can be simpler than running two systems.

Switching
Moving from Arryved
Adding MemberZone alongside Arryved (or any POS) gives you mug clubs, beer societies, and releases without switching your point of sale.
- 1Keep your current POS - MemberZone layers memberships on top of Toast, Square, and the rest, so there is no taproom retraining.
- 2Import your existing members, tiers, and billing details from a spreadsheet during onboarding - no re-collecting cards.
- 3Turn on dues and rewards that apply automatically at checkout, so members are recognized on the POS your staff already use.
