The challenge

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.

With Kayana

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.

Bars & breweries

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.
