FOR PUBS & BARS

Two businesses behind one bar

A pub runs a bar and a kitchen at the same time, on opposite rhythms. The bar wants a round rung through in four seconds; the kitchen wants a ticket it can trust twenty minutes later. Most tills are good at one of those. This one has to be good at both, because the same staff are doing both.

Sound familiar?

A round of six drinks takes longer to ring through than to pour.

Tabs get confused at the shift change and someone eats the difference.

Happy hour depends on whoever is behind the bar remembering it.

What changes

Bar-speed screen: drinks laid out in your own order and colours, with sizes and mixers a tap away — no hunting through menus

Tabs kept on the table — moved, merged or split in a tap, and carried cleanly across a shift change

Food orders go to the kitchen display while drinks stay at the bar

Happy hours and meal deals the till applies itself, at the right times

Cash reconciled against what the till expected, every night

Clock in and out, rota, and tips and tronc shared out on a rule, not a mood

One service, start to finish

  1. Opening

    The float is counted in, the rota says who is on, happy hour is already scheduled.

  2. A round

    Six drinks, one tab, four seconds. Paid at the bar, or left on the tab for later.

  3. Food ordered

    It goes to the kitchen display and onto the same tab as the drinks.

  4. Last orders

    Tabs closed, cash counted, tips shared out, and the day closed once.

A round is not six transactions ​

The single biggest difference between a till that works behind a bar and one that does not is how it handles a round. Six drinks, mixed, one of them on a tab — if that takes six separate searches through a menu tree, the bar backs up and the staff start writing on their hand.

That is why the drinks sit on the screen in your own order and colours, with sizes and mixers a tap away. It is also why the tab stays on the table rather than on a paper slip that goes missing at handover — and moves, merges or splits in a tap when the group does.

Discounts that do not rely on memory ​

Happy hour, meal deals and the Tuesday quiz offer are scheduled in the system and applied by the till at the right times. Nobody has to remember, nobody has to do mental arithmetic mid-rush, and — the part that actually matters at the end of the month — the discount shows up in the report as a discount rather than as takings that never arrived.

Tips, tronc and the awkward conversation ​

Tips are a source of arguments in almost every pub, usually because the rule is informal and the arithmetic is done by whoever is closing. Shares can be worked out on a stated rule against hours actually worked, and the result is written down. It does not make the rule fair — that is your call — but it makes it the same rule every week.

See it before you decide ​

The user guide shows what each app does: start with Yumee Restaurant and Clock. To see the screens themselves, book a demo and we will show you on your own menu.

Guides for pubs ​

Free guides based on official sources: QR order and pay at the table, allergens in restaurants, questions to ask before you choose an EPOS, the tipping law, service charge or tip, business rates, alcohol licences and pavement licences. All of them are on the guides page.

The setup that usually fits

EPOS Elite

A fixed touchscreen that survives a wet bar, a drawer, printers and a kitchen display for the food side.
