Built Around How Bars And Pubs Actually Trade

A bar POS system needs to do more than process payments. Pubs often manage drink orders, meal service, tabs, private functions, beer gardens and group payments at the same time.

POSApt gives your staff a practical way to enter orders, keep tabs visible, send food to the kitchen and complete payments quickly when the venue is busy.

Bar Counter

Process drinks quickly and keep open tabs organised.

Bistro Tables

Send meal orders to the kitchen with table details.

Beer Garden

Support outdoor service with QR table ordering.

Functions

Manage groups, deposits and event-based service needs.

01

Bar Tabs Without Guesswork

Keep open tabs clear, add new rounds quickly and close accounts with less confusion when customers are ready to pay.

02

Kitchen Orders With The Right Details

Send bistro meals, sides, specials and table notes to the preparation area so the team can work from accurate information.

03

Split Bills For Groups

Support customers who want to pay separately, share items or close part of a tab without slowing down the bar.

04

Reporting Across Service Areas

Review sales by bar, bistro, item, shift and trading period to understand what is driving venue performance.

Connected pub workflow

Keep Every Sale Connected Across The Venue

When your bar, dining room and kitchen operate separately, mistakes become easier. POSApt helps connect orders, payments and reporting so staff can move with more confidence during high-pressure service.

Use one hospitality POS platform for counter drinks, table meals, QR orders and manager-level reporting.

Busy bar during evening service

Bar and pub service can change quickly. A quiet afternoon can turn into a full venue when sport starts, a function arrives or live music begins.

POSApt helps staff keep orders moving during peak trade by making common items easy to find, sending meal orders to the right place and keeping open tabs visible until the customer is ready to pay.

Bistro And Kitchen Management For Pub Meals

Many pubs rely on food sales as much as drinks. POSApt supports bistro operations by helping staff enter entrées, mains, specials, sides and preparation notes clearly.

Kitchen teams can receive the information they need while front-of-house staff continue serving customers at the bar or table.

QR Ordering For Tables, Beer Gardens And Outdoor Areas

QR ordering gives customers another way to place orders without joining the main bar queue. It can help venues serve larger areas while allowing staff to focus on preparation, delivery and customer service.

Use QR ordering for beer gardens, dining tables, function areas or busy event nights where customer convenience matters.
