Point-of-sale software for bars
At a bar, orders come one after another and every second counts. The till has to keep the pace.
What matters day to day
- • Ring up fast, in small repeated orders
- • Track drink stock
- • One account per waiter
- • Keep going at night if the network drops
What MerchantHQ does — and does not do
MerchantHQ rings up sales quickly, tracks drink stock and assigns sales to waiters. No table management or split bills: it is a counter till, but it does not stop when the network drops.
For the big picture, see the checkout software, and pricing and plans are on the Pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Does it manage tables and table service?
No. MerchantHQ is a counter till: it takes payment and tracks stock, but it does not manage a table plan.
Does it work without a connection?
Yes. Sales and stock stay local, and the backup goes out when the network returns.
