The community operated a hotel and a horse riding centre. Other sources of revenue in the community included a lead factory with an on-site glass work shop. The kibbutz also featured an extensive, privately owned events venue that formerly served as its community dining hall. Beit Oren's large outdoor membership-based swimming pool also manages to attract large amounts of people from Haifa and surrounding communities. In addition, the kibbutz also features a locally owned pub with live bands and a professional mountain-bike store offering new bike models, bike repairs and modification as well as guided trips within the Carmel mountain range.
