Smart ordering and payments for your bar

More calm behind the bar, more revenue.

During peak hours, a bar often operates at full throttle. Orders pour in, staff need to be agile, and guests expect a seamless experience. Beyond Ordering helps you smartly address these typical challenges, ensuring everything runs smoothly – even when it gets truly hectic.

Below, you'll discover how our solutions assist you in three crucial areas: open tab ordering, QR ordering, and real-time inventory management.

1. Open Tab Ordering, Pay Later

The Challenge

Settling bills during peak hours often leads to bottlenecks, errors, and stress behind the bar. Guests want to enjoy themselves without constantly having to pay, but you need to maintain control and security.

The Solution

With open tab ordering, your guests can order freely throughout the evening without immediate payment. An important distinction is that online QR orders always require immediate payment. An open tab can only be initiated by a staff member, giving you control over who orders on account. At the end of the evening, you can settle everything quickly, clearly, and without errors.

The Result

Your service becomes calmer, while your guests experience greater freedom. This means less back-and-forth with payments, faster service at tables and the bar, and a smoother evening flow for both guests and staff. Additionally, you avoid disputes or forgotten rounds when settling the bill.

2. Less Staff, Faster Service, and Higher Revenue

The Challenge

Weekend rush or an unexpected peak? You often face the same issues: too few hands behind the bar, escalating wait times, staff under immense pressure, and missed orders because no one has time to take them. This is frustrating for both your team and your customers.

The Solution

With QR ordering and payment, guests can independently choose, order, and pay for their drinks — no app, no fuss. Orders automatically arrive at the bar and kitchen, neatly organized. Your staff can then focus on preparation and serving, rather than taking orders and processing payments.

The Result

You operate more efficiently, your guests wait less, and your bar runs smoother than ever. You can manage the same rush with fewer staff, and orders are processed more quickly. This reduces stressful moments at the bar, leading to more orders per hour and a direct increase in revenue.

3. Real-time Overview and Smart Inventory Management

The Challenge

Managing inventory in a cafe or bar is tricky. You're dealing with perishable products, unpredictable busy periods, and limited storage space. This often leads to situations where the tonic runs out mid-shift, or you overstock just to be safe. Frequently, you only get a clear picture of what was actually sold after closing.

The solution

With Beyond Ordering, you get real-time visibility into your inventory. Products that are almost out of stock automatically become unavailable on the menu. This way, you never sell something you no longer have. And thanks to smart data analysis, you see what sells well and what doesn't, allowing you to make more targeted purchases.

The result

Your inventory works with your bar, not against it. You prevent customer disappointments and reduce waste due to overstock. This leads to tighter margins through smarter purchasing and gives you constant control, even during the busiest times.
