Running bar tabs

Customer leaves their card behind the bar? Open a tab under their name, with the last 4 digits of the card if you like. Add rounds all night, and settle the whole tab in one payment when they head home.

Every open tab on one screen

Tap Tab to see who's still drinking and what they owe. Pick a name to add the next round or pay the tab. You can open a tab before the first drink is even poured.

Nothing goes home unpaid

Close the till with tabs still open and LocalPOS warns you first, so a forgotten tab is caught before the lights come up.

Drink buttons laid out your way

Beers, wines, spirits, cocktails and bar food on colour-coded pages, so pouring a round is a few taps, not a hunt through a menu.

EFTPOS cash out

Give customers cash out on its own or added to their purchase, straight from the integrated Verifone or Shift4 terminal. Perfect for pool-table and jukebox coins, and it's all tracked in the end-of-night totals.

Works with a second terminal

Got another EFTPOS machine that isn't linked to the till? Record those sales as Other Eftpos and the till still balances at close.

Split the bill

Split a tab half and half, or part cash and part card, without reaching for a calculator.

Staff logins and end-of-night reports

Each bartender has their own login. Takings, cash outs and best sellers are ready at close, in plain language.

Affordable for one venue

$15/month for the software or a one-off payment. Complete till bundles from $495 (second-hand terminal, new printer and cash drawer) or $795 (all new). See the full cost breakdown.

Common questions

Can I run a bar tab for a customer?

Yes. Open a tab under the customer's name (and the last 4 digits of their card if they leave it behind the bar), add rounds all night, and pay the whole tab in one go when they leave.

Can customers get cash out on EFTPOS?

Yes. LocalPOS supports cash out on its own, or added to a purchase, on integrated Verifone and Shift4 terminals. Handy for pool-table or jukebox coins.

We have a second EFTPOS terminal that isn't linked to the POS. Can we still use it?

Yes. Record the payment as Other Eftpos and it is counted separately in the end-of-night totals, so the till still reconciles.

What happens if tabs are still open at closing time?

LocalPOS warns you about any open tabs when you close the till, so nothing goes home unpaid by mistake.
