Restaurant POS for Bars
A POS for bars: open tabs, fast rounds, happy-hour changes and late-night cash-outs without losing a drink.
A bar is open tabs, loud rooms and rounds that stack up fast. The POS has to start a tab in seconds, find it again at midnight and close it without a fight.
These needs come from general kitchen knowledge. Bring your own and we will check them against your menu in the demo.
A busy hour
A bar at midnight is open tabs, a crowded rail and a bartender with both hands full. A group of six orders three rounds across an hour, splits the bill unevenly and wants it fast at last call. The bartender needs to find a tab by name or card in a couple of taps, add a round, and close it without recounting. Tips should attach to the right person, and the cash drawer should match the report at close.
What bars need from a POS
Open tabs
A card behind the bar starts a tab. Staff need to find it by name or card and add a round in two taps.
Rounds and splits
Groups split bills in odd ways. Split checks by item or seat is live.
Happy hour
Prices change at set hours and switch back on their own.
Closing out
Late-night checks must settle cleanly with tips recorded to the right bartender.
How Zorveta One covers it
How it covers this: tabs stay open until closed, split checks by item or seat handle the uneven group bill, and happy-hour pricing switches on and off by itself. Tips attach to the right bartender, and reservations or events by table or seat cover busy nights and private parties.
Where orders come from
Illustrative mix for a bar: bar tabs, table service and event nights. No figures are shown, and yours will differ.
What to bring to your demo
Bring a three-round tab and an uneven split. Ask to open a tab by card, add rounds, split by item, and close at last call with tips tied to the right bartender. Also ask how a bartender hands a tab to the next shift, what happens when a card on a tab is declined late at night, and who can remove a drink from a tab. Those answers decide whether closing time stays calm. Ask too how a bar back sees a rush on the rail, and what a manager sees at the end of the night.

Proof from a bar operator
