Bars & lounges

Run tabs and close out fast

Pre-authorize cards, split rounds, track pours, and settle tabs in seconds — even when the bar is three deep.

Bar POS software for tabs, pours, and peak-hour closeouts

Bars need speed at open and close. Pre-authorize cards when a tab opens, re-order rounds in one tap, and settle every check in seconds — even when the room is three deep.

Pour-level inventory tracking, bartender tip pools, and offline mode keep margins healthy and staff paid fairly when Wi-Fi gets unreliable.

Pre-auth tabs changed our Friday nights. We close faster, tips are cleaner, and pour tracking caught shrinkage we did not know we had.
