Bar POS System in Kenya

In a bar the money disappears in small ways: a free drink, a wrong tab, a bottle that was never written down. A POS that tracks every tab, tot and bottle makes those gaps visible.

Problems this solves

  • Tabs are kept on paper and get lost or disputed.
  • Bottles are sold by the tot, so stock counts never match.
  • You cannot tell which bartender sold what, or who was on shift when cash was short.
  • Breakage and complimentary drinks are not recorded.

How HustlePilot handles it

  • Open a tab for a table or the counter and add drinks as the night goes on.
  • Set up a bottle with units, such as a bottle and a single tot, so stock drops by the right amount.
  • Give each bartender their own PIN login so every sale shows who made it.
  • Open and close shifts with a cash count and see the difference.
  • Record breakage, expired stock and write-offs so the stock count stays honest.
  • Split a bill between cash and M-Pesa.

Set up in five steps

  1. Add your drinks, with a selling price and cost price.
  2. Create units for bottles, tots or crates where you sell more than one way.
  3. Add counters or tables and your bartenders.
  4. Open a shift with the starting cash.
  5. Sell, close the shift and compare the count with the report.

Which plan do I need?

Tabs, units and shifts are on paid plans; staff logins and recipes for mixed drinks are on higher plans. Open the pricing page to see exactly what each plan includes. The Free plan lets you try selling before you pay.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell a bottle by the tot?

Yes. Add the bottle as the item, then add a tot as a unit with the number of tots in the bottle. Selling a tot reduces stock by that fraction of a bottle.

Can each bartender have their own login?

Yes. Staff accounts have a PIN and a role, and each sale records who made it. The number of staff accounts depends on your plan.

Can I run tabs for tables?

Yes. Open a tab on a table or counter, keep adding items, and take payment when the customer leaves.

Does it work if the internet goes off?

Sales you make while offline are saved on the device and upload when the connection returns.
