Bar Features That Actually Matter
Generic POS systems are built for restaurants. A bar needs speed, tabs, and drink-specific workflows. That is what Posso delivers.
Tab Management
Open a tab with a card or name. Add drinks throughout the night. Settle when ready — card, cash, or split between the group. Tabs stay open across shift changes.
Speed-Pour Ordering
One-tap drink buttons for your most popular pours. Lager, IPA, house white, G&T — tap and move on. Average bar transaction under 10 seconds.
Drink Modifiers
Singles, doubles, mixers, garnishes — all in one tap flow. Staff select the spirit, choose single or double, add the mixer, and the price calculates automatically.
Split Bills
Split by item (you had the cocktails, I had the beers), by seat, by equal share, or any custom combination. Works with card and cash payments.
Happy Hour Scheduling
Set happy hour rules by day, time, and category. Prices switch automatically at 5pm and revert at 7pm. No manual price changes, no forgetting to switch back.
Bar & Kitchen Screens
Drinks orders go to the bar display. Food orders go to the kitchen display. Each screen only shows what that station needs to prepare — no clutter, no confusion.
How Tab Management Works
Open Tab
Swipe a card or enter a name — tab opens in under 3 seconds
Add Drinks
Tap drinks to add them to the tab from any till in the venue
Review
Customer asks to see the tab — pull it up instantly by name or card
Settle
Pay full amount, split between friends, or close with cash
Why Bars Choose Posso
Faster Service at the Bar
Speed-pour buttons and one-tap ordering mean your bartenders spend less time on the till and more time pouring. During peak hours, that 5-second difference per transaction adds up to hundreds of extra drinks served.
No More Tab Confusion
Every tab is tied to a name or card. Staff can see what is on the tab, add items from any till, and settle at the end of the night. No paper tabs, no lost orders, no arguments about who ordered what.
Happy Hour Runs Itself
Set your happy hour schedule once and forget it. The POS automatically applies discounted pricing during your specified hours and categories. When happy hour ends, prices revert instantly.
Staff You Can Trust
Individual staff logins track every transaction. See who sold what, when, and at what price. Void reports flag unusual activity. Cash drawer counts at shift end reconcile against POS totals.
Cocktail Menu Management
Cocktail bars need more than a list of drinks. You need recipe management so new staff know exactly what goes in each cocktail. You need ingredient-level stock tracking so you know when the Aperol is running low before Saturday night.
The Posso bar ePOS lets you build cocktail recipes with ingredients and quantities. Staff see the recipe on screen when they tap the cocktail. Stock deducts automatically per ingredient — not just per drink.
For specials and seasonal menus, duplicate an existing cocktail, adjust the recipe, set a price, and it is live on the till in seconds. No waiting for a support ticket.

Bar ePOS — Frequently Asked Questions
How does tab management work on the Posso bar POS?
Open a tab by swiping a card or entering a customer name. Add drinks to the tab from any till in the venue. The tab stays open across shift changes. When the customer is ready to leave, pull up the tab, review the items, and settle by card, cash, or split payment.
Can I set up happy hour pricing automatically?
Yes. Set happy hour rules by day of the week, start time, end time, and product category. The POS automatically switches to discounted pricing when happy hour starts and reverts to normal pricing when it ends. No manual intervention required.
Does the bar screen show different orders to the kitchen screen?
Yes. The Posso ePOS routes orders to the correct preparation screen by category. Drinks orders appear on the bar display. Food orders appear on the kitchen display. Each station only sees what they need to prepare, reducing clutter and confusion during busy periods.
How do drink modifiers work for spirits?
When staff tap a spirit, they see modifier options — single or double, choice of mixer (tonic, lemonade, cola, soda), and garnish. The price adjusts automatically based on the selections. This ensures consistent pricing and speeds up the ordering process.
Can customers split the bill at the end of the night?
Yes. Posso supports split by item (each person pays for their own drinks), equal split (divide the total equally), split by seat, or custom amounts. Staff can combine card and cash payments on the same bill.
How much does the bar ePOS system cost?
The complete bar POS system starts from £499 + VAT including the touchscreen till and software. Additional tills for multi-bar setups, card terminals, and bar display screens are available. Finance from £24.92 per week. Free setup and training included with a 2-year warranty.
