At a beach bar the guest is a hundred metres from the bar and the waiter walks on sand all day. IKAROS POS puts your beach on a map, with the sunbeds in rows as they are on the sand, and lets guests order from their phone.
The beach on a map
See at a glance which sunbed is free, which has an open order and how much it owes. Set a rent or a minimum spend per row or sunbed, and the system adds it to the bill.
Ordering from the sunbed
Every sunbed has its own QR code. The guest scans it, sees the menu in Greek or English and orders. The order reaches the bar or kitchen with the sunbed number and, if you enable it, the guest pays from the phone without waiting. They can also call the waiter or ask for the bill with one tap. Waiters take orders on their phones, right on the sand.
Hotels: charge to the room
Hotel guests charge what they order to their room, from the pool bar, the beach or the restaurant, and settle at check-out. Rooms have QR codes too, for room orders. The pool bar, beach bar and restaurant can work as separate points in one account with the Multi-store add-on.
Under Room charges the reception sees every charge per room, settles it at check-out and exports it as CSV or print per day, room or guest, to key it into any PMS.
Link with the hotel's PMS
With the Hotel PMS link add-on (€12 a month excluding VAT) a charge to the room goes to a specific guest and from there to their account (folio) in the PMS.
- Hoteliga: a ready link with the Hoteliga PMS by Epsilon Net. Guests who are staying come to the till by themselves, and each charge goes to the reservation as an extra charge, with the receipt's MARK.
- Hotel API: an open API that the vendor of any other PMS can connect to. It gives in-house guests, charges with items, VAT and MARK, confirmation and a webhook.
- Export: with no link, the reception keys the charges in from a CSV or a print-out.
The cashier picks the guest from the in-house list. The till checks that they are staying, may charge and are within their charge limit. You also choose, together with your accountant, whether the till issues the myDATA receipt (paid on credit, and the PMS books it as already invoiced) or the hotel issues the final invoice.
Pay only for the season
With the seasonal subscription you pay only for the months you are open, with 10% off if you pay the whole season at once. In winter the account stays closed with no charge, and your menu, sunbeds and settings wait for next year.
When the beach connection drops
The bar's till keeps working without internet, with sunbeds, rent and minimum spend. Sales are kept on the device and sent to your provider once the connection is back. For cards, choose a terminal with a SIM card, which works without the beach WiFi.
AADE receipts
Receipts and order slips are sent to myDATA through a certified provider and printed with MARK and QR code, whether payment happens at the bar, with the waiter or on the guest's phone.
Questions
Can guests order from the sunbed?
Yes. Every sunbed has its own QR code. Guests see the menu, order and, if you allow it, pay from their phone.
Does it handle sunbed rent or minimum spend?
Yes. Set a rent or minimum spend per sunbed or row and it goes on the bill automatically.
Can hotel guests charge to their room?
Yes. Orders are charged to the room and settled at check-out.
Does it connect to the hotel's PMS?
Yes, with the Hotel PMS link add-on (€12 a month). A ready link exists with Hoteliga by Epsilon Net. Any other PMS connects through the open Hotel API, if its vendor builds it, or the reception keys the charges in from the CSV export.
Who issues the receipt for a charge to the room?
You choose with your accountant. Either the till issues the receipt and the PMS gets its number and MARK, or the hotel issues the final invoice and the till issues no receipt for that money.
Do I pay in the winter months?
No. With the seasonal subscription you pay only for the months of the season, with 10% off if you pay them together.
Do I need WiFi on the whole beach?
Not necessarily. Guests order with their phone's mobile data. Waiters need a connection on their phone, from WiFi or 4G. If the connection drops, the bar's till keeps working without internet and sends the sales later. Card terminals with a SIM card work without the WiFi.
