On a Friday the bar is three deep, tabs get lost, and splitting a round or closing a card out takes longer than pouring the drinks.
Open and hold tabs, take contactless anywhere along the bar, and split or close a round in a tap — so the queue keeps moving and the till keeps ringing.

The queue keeps moving
“Open a tab, split a round, close a card — all in a tap. On a busy Friday that's the difference between a moving queue and a stuck one.”
A bar POS system needs to keep pace with last orders, split tabs and a room that gets busier as the night goes on, whether that's a high street bar, a village pub or a working brewery taproom.
Serving a Pub Floor at Full Capacity
On a Friday night, a pub POS system has to handle table orders, bar orders and split payments running at once, often from several staff working different screens. A bar EPOS system that keeps every terminal synced in real time stops drinks being served twice or missed off a tab.
Taproom Service Without the Bottleneck
A taproom POS system needs to move people through tasting flights and pours quickly, particularly when a brewery is running a busy weekend session. For staff moving between the bar and the taproom floor, a card terminal for bar service means payment can happen at the table or the barrel, not only behind a fixed till.
Ordering at the Bar or From the Table
A bar ordering system that lets customers order and pay from a table saves floor staff from working a queue at the bar during peak hours. It suits venues that want table service without adding extra bar staff, and works alongside QR ordering for food-led sessions.
Managing Stock and Slow Nights
Wastage adds up fast behind a bar, from over-pouring to stock that doesn't get counted until the shelves run dry. Real-time stock tracking keeps kegs, spirits and bottled stock visible across the till, so reordering happens before a popular line runs out, and quieter midweek sessions can be built around loyalty and rewards to bring regulars back in.

Questions, answered
Can't find what you're after? Our team knows bars & breweries inside out and is happy to help.
Speak to support →How quickly can we go live?
Most operators are up and running within 4–6 weeks. Hardware arrives pre-configured, and our team helps you set up the menu, payments and channels.
Do I have to buy the whole kit at once?
No. Start with what you need today — a till, a terminal, a kiosk — and add to it any time. Everything connects out of the box, so growing your stack never means re-platforming.
Is there a long contract or lock-in?
No lock-in. Hardware is yours to own (buy outright or spread the cost), and software is month-to-month with transparent pricing.
What does support look like?
24/7 human support is included as standard — phone, chat and email — plus free automatic updates for the life of your account.
Can it scale to more locations?
Yes. Run one site or hundreds from a single dashboard, with menus, pricing and reporting that sync across every location in real time.
Will it work with my existing tools?
Kayana integrates with the accounting, delivery, loyalty and payroll tools you already use — and payments settle to one place with one report.
