About The App
SipScout is the smarter way to discover restaurants and events. Built for both venues and drink lovers, SipScout brings real-time discovery, transparency, and community into one seamless experience.
From finding the perfect happy hour to discovering what makes a venue special, SipScout makes it easier for friends to decide where to go, for newcomers to explore a city, and for restaurants to be seen for what they do best.
Who We Are
SipScout was founded by Erika Krehbiel and Kayla Powell, two SMU MBA students who set out to build the app they wished existed. After countless nights of outdated menus, scattered information, and guesswork around where to go, they saw an opportunity to make going out smarter, more transparent, and more social.
With backgrounds in business and product-building, Erika and Kayla focus on serving both sides of the experience—empowering consumers with better information while giving venues a smarter, more effective way to get discovered.
Rooted in a love for community, hospitality, and connection, SipScout is built to support local businesses, spark shared experiences, and make every outing easier, more confident, and a lot more fun.
