The short answer

What should a bar POS do?

Take a round in a few taps, apply your specials on time, count every pour and show you who voided what.

Live does each of these. Drink options carry their own price and stock pour, so a double or an added mixer is charged and deducted correctly. Happy hour switches on at the times you set, and every void needs a reason.

A Friday on Live

What does a Friday night look like?

One shift in a busy bar, from float to Z-read.

  1. 4:00 pm

    Open the till

    Count the float in and the shift starts. Each staff member signs in with their own PIN.

  2. 5:00 pm

    Happy hour starts itself

    Your 5 to 7 special switches on at the time you set. Eligible drinks are priced for you and marked on the order.

  3. 6:30 pm

    A round for table 12

    Tap the table, add four pints and two spirits with mixers, and park the order while they look at the menu.

  4. 8:00 pm

    The group splits the bill

    Split by people or by items, add a tip, and take each card on your own EFTPOS terminal.

  5. 10:30 pm

    A void, on record

    A drink poured wrong is voided with a reason, and the owner can get an email about it.

  6. 12:30 am

    Close the till

    Count the drawer and enter the EFTPOS settlement. The Z-read, and a low-stock email on Standard, go to the owner.

FAQ

Bar and pub POS questions, answered

Can happy hour switch on by itself?

Yes, on Standard and Multi-venue. Set the days, times and offer once, and the till applies it during the window and marks each happy-hour line.

Does Live track stock by the pour?

Yes. Stock is kept in ml, grams or pieces, each drink has a recipe, and options such as a double deduct their own pour.

How many registers can a bar run?

Floor includes 1 register. Standard includes up to 4 at one venue. Multi-venue is priced per venue, and we confirm registers in your demo.

Can staff open a tab for a group?

Yes. Named tabs are included from Standard, so a regular or a group can run a tab and settle at the end.
