Bar Ordering Features
Designed for the pace, noise, and atmosphere of a busy bar environment.
QR Table Ordering
Each table has a QR code. Customers scan it with their phone, see your full drink and food menu, and order directly from their seat. No app download required — it opens in the browser. Orders appear instantly on the bar display with the table number. No queuing, no waiting to catch someone's eye.
Tab Management
Customers open a tab by saving their card details when they place their first order. Subsequent orders add to the running total. They can view their tab at any time on their phone and close it when they are ready to leave. Staff can also open and manage tabs from the POS for customers who prefer to order at the bar.
Drink Modifiers
Every drink can be customised: gin and tonic with Fever-Tree, single or double, with lime, with ice. Mixers, measures, garnishes, and ice preferences are all configurable with their own pricing. The bar display shows the full drink specification so it is made correctly every time. No shouting over the music.
Happy Hour Pricing
Set happy hour schedules and the POS applies discounted prices automatically during those times. Two-for-one cocktails from 5–7pm, half-price pints on Tuesdays, 20% off all drinks before 6pm. Prices switch back automatically when happy hour ends. No manual price changes, no staff forgetting to apply or remove discounts.
Real-Time Bar Display
Orders from QR ordering, the POS, and tabs all appear on the bar display in real time. Each order shows the table number, drinks ordered, and any modifiers. Bar staff work through the queue and mark orders as complete. Customers see a status update on their phone when their drinks are being prepared.
Speed During Peak Hours
On a Saturday night, QR ordering eliminates the bar queue. Customers order rounds from their table while bar staff focus on making drinks rather than taking orders. The result: more drinks served per hour, happier customers, and staff who can concentrate on quality instead of struggling to hear orders over the noise.
Why Bars Choose Posso
Eliminate Bar Queues
QR table ordering removes the biggest friction point in any bar — waiting to be served. Customers order from their phone and drinks arrive at their table. No standing three-deep at the bar waving a card. During peak hours, this transforms the customer experience and dramatically increases the number of orders your bar staff can process.
Increase Average Spend
When ordering is effortless, customers order more. No queue means they do not wait until their glass is empty before considering another round. The visual menu with images and descriptions encourages exploration — customers try cocktails they would not have asked for at a crowded bar. Average spend per table typically increases 15–25%.
Reduce Staffing Pressure
QR ordering handles the order-taking so your bar staff focus on making drinks. You need fewer staff behind the bar to serve the same number of customers. On a busy night, the difference between 3 and 4 bar staff is significant. The app effectively adds capacity without adding headcount.
Automatic Happy Hour Management
Happy hour prices activate and deactivate on schedule with zero staff intervention. No forgetting to change prices, no accidentally charging full price during happy hour, no leaving discounts on after happy hour ends. The POS handles it automatically and your reports show the exact revenue impact of each promotion.
How QR Ordering Transforms Your Bar
The traditional bar model forces customers to queue, wait, order, and pay — often shouting over loud music. QR table ordering removes every friction point. Customers scan, browse, order, and pay from their phone. Drinks arrive at their table. The experience is fundamentally better.
For your staff, QR ordering means they spend their time making drinks instead of taking orders. The bar display shows incoming orders in a clear queue. Each drink is specified precisely — no mishearing "gin and tonic" as "gin and Coke" over the noise. Quality goes up, mistakes go down.
The financial impact is significant. Bars using QR ordering typically see a 15–25% increase in average spend per table. When ordering is effortless, customers order more frequently. They try cocktails they would not have queued for. And you serve more drinks with the same number of staff.
