Pub-Specific POS Features
Generic POS systems do not understand how pubs work. Posso is built for tabs, speed, and the chaos of a Saturday night.
Tab Management
Open a tab by swiping a card or entering a name. Add rounds throughout the session. Tabs transfer between staff at shift change and settle with card, cash, or split payment when the customer is ready to leave.
Speed-Pour Ordering
One-tap buttons for your most popular pours — Carling, Guinness, house wine, G&T. Your bar staff tap once and move on. During Friday night rush, those saved seconds translate to dozens of extra pints served per hour.
Drink Modifiers
Spirit orders flow through a modifier screen: single or double, choice of mixer, ice, garnish. Price calculates automatically. Staff cannot accidentally charge single price for a double, and customers get a consistent experience every time.
Happy Hour Pricing
Set happy hour rules by day, time, and drink category. The POS switches prices at 4pm and reverts at 7pm — automatically. No forgetting to change prices, no manual overrides, no mistakes when the pub is heaving.
Bar KDS Display
Drinks orders route to the bar screen. Food orders route to the kitchen screen. The bar display shows drink orders in queue order with prep times, so bar staff work through the list efficiently without shouting across the pub.
Split Bills
A group of eight wants to split the bill. Split by item so each person pays for their own drinks, split equally, or enter custom amounts. Combine card and cash on the same bill. Staff handle it in under 30 seconds.
Why Pubs Choose Posso
Serve More Pints Per Hour
Speed-pour buttons eliminate the browsing and searching that slows down traditional tills. During peak hours, serving each customer 5 seconds faster means your bar processes 30-40 more transactions per hour — that is real revenue you would otherwise lose to long queues.
No More Lost Tabs
Paper tab systems lead to lost tickets, disputed amounts, and end-of-night confusion. The Posso pub POS tracks every tab digitally. Staff can pull up any tab by name or card from any till in the pub, see every item added, and settle accurately.
Food and Drinks on One System
Pubs serving food need the kitchen and bar working from the same order. A customer ordering a burger and two pints gets one order that routes drinks to the bar screen and food to the kitchen display. One bill, one payment, two preparation screens.
Track Staff Performance
Individual logins show which staff sell the most, who processes transactions fastest, and where voids and discounts happen. Use this data to reward top performers, identify training needs, and catch any irregularities before they become problems.
From Wet-Led Locals to Gastropubs
A wet-led pub needs speed above everything. One-tap ordering, fast tab management, and a till that keeps up with three-deep-at-the-bar Friday nights. The Posso pub POS delivers sub-10-second transactions so your queue never stalls.
A gastropub needs all of that plus food service management — table ordering, course firing, kitchen display, and the ability to handle a busy restaurant service alongside bar traffic. Posso handles both workloads on one system.
For pub groups with multiple sites, the cloud-based dashboard gives you real-time reporting across all venues. Compare sales, track stock, and manage menus centrally while each pub runs independently.
Pub POS System — Frequently Asked Questions
How does tab management work on the pub POS?
Open a tab by swiping a card or entering a customer name. Add drinks and food to the tab from any till in the pub. Tabs persist across shift changes. When the customer wants to settle, pull up the tab, review the items, and take payment by card, cash, or split between the group.
Can I run happy hour pricing automatically?
Yes. Set happy hour rules by day of the week, start time, end time, and product category. The POS automatically applies discounted pricing during your happy hour window and reverts to full price when it ends. You can run different happy hours on different days.
Does it handle food orders as well as drinks?
Yes. The Posso pub POS routes drinks orders to the bar display and food orders to the kitchen display. A customer ordering a pint and a pie gets one order that splits automatically. One bill, one payment, two preparation screens.
How do drink modifiers work?
When staff select a spirit, they see options for single or double, choice of mixer, and garnish. The price adjusts automatically. This prevents undercharging for doubles and ensures every drink is rung up consistently, regardless of which member of staff serves it.
Can we split bills for groups?
Yes. Split by item so each person pays for their own drinks, split equally between the group, or enter custom amounts. You can combine card and cash payments on the same bill. Staff can process a group split in under 30 seconds.
How much does the pub POS system cost?
The complete pub POS starts from £499 + VAT including the touchscreen terminal and software. Additional tills, card terminals, and bar display screens are available. Finance options from £24.92 per week. Free setup and training included with a 2-year warranty.
