POS software for bars and breweries
Keep each table's tab running all night, pour by size, and let the happy hour switch prices on and off by itself. Drinks go to the bar station and food to the kitchen, from the same order.
Start on the Free plan for one outlet. Works on any device.
A busy bar night, kept straight
Bars run late, prices change by the hour and tables keep moving. Here is where the night gets messy.
Happy hour is run by sticky notes
Bartenders change prices by hand at 5 PM, forget to change them back at 8, and the first round after happy hour is undercharged.
Set the happy hour once by days and times. Prices drop by themselves on the POS, QR orders and online store, then go back when it ends.
The rooftop should cost more than the lounge
You charge more on the rooftop, but staff keep billing at lounge prices because there is only one menu.
Each area has its own price list, as a % on the menu or an own price per drink. Orders on a rooftop table use rooftop prices.
Tabs get lost when groups move
A group moves from the bar to a table, joins friends and then wants to split, and two tabs become a mess.
Move a tab to another table, move a few items, or merge two tables into one bill. Split by item when it is time to pay.
The bar and kitchen work from one ticket
Food and drinks print on the same slip, so cocktails wait while the grill reads the ticket.
Send drinks to a Bar station and food to the kitchen. Each gets its own slip or screen, from the same order.
How a night at the bar flows
- Open a tab
The captain opens a table on a phone and adds the first round. The tab stays running all night.
- Drinks to the bar
Pints and cocktails go to the Bar station, bar snacks to the kitchen, each on its own slip or screen.
- Prices follow the clock
Happy hour and area prices apply by themselves, so nobody has to remember the rules.
- Close the tab
Split by guest, add the tip and service charge, and settle by cash, card or wallet.

Can happy hour prices change by themselves?
Yes. Set the days, start and end time, and the categories or products. Prices drop on the POS, QR table orders and your online store, and go back when it ends.
Can I sell a drink in different sizes?
Yes. Make it a variable product with options such as half pint, pint and pitcher, each with its own price. Area prices and happy hour follow each size.
Can a table run a tab all night?
Yes. The table stays open with its running bill. Add rounds as they come, and only the new items go to the bar or kitchen.
Can the rooftop have higher prices?
Yes. Give each dining area its own price list as a % on the menu or an own price per item.
Does it keep liquor licence or excise registers?
No. Ellibo records your sales, stock and VAT or sales tax, but licence and excise registers are not built in. Keep those as your local rules require.
Can I see who gave free drinks?
Yes. The audit trail records discounts given by hand, items removed after the order was sent and bills printed again, with the staff name and time.
