At a bar the night is decided at rush hour: a queue at the counter, full tables and a bartender who needs to know what's next. IKAROS POS makes ordering fast, sends every drink to the right place and keeps table bills open until they are settled.
The bartender sees what's next
Orders from waiters and QR codes reach the bar screen or print at the bar printer, with the table number and notes ("no ice", "double"). The bartender taps "ready" and the waiter sees it on their phone. The system says "bar", not "kitchen".
Happy hour without the maths
Set happy hour days, times and prices once. The till applies the right price at the right time on its own, and switches back when it ends, even past midnight. Add offers like a fixed-price combo or "buy 3, pay 2".
Tables and open bills
Each table keeps its bill while the party stays. Add rounds, move the table if they change places, and at the end the bill is paid in full or split. With QR codes on the table, guests order the next round or ask for the bill from their phone.
Payments and documents
The amount goes from the till to the card terminal (Viva, EveryPay, myPOS, Nexi, SumUp or through Wrapp) without typing. Order slips and receipts are sent to myDATA through a certified provider and printed with their MARK (the AADE number). The cash drawer opens by itself on cash payments and every manual opening is logged.
If the internet goes down
The till keeps working offline with tables, the bar and payments, and sends the sales to your provider once the connection is back. The card terminal needs its own connection (most have a SIM card).
Questions
Does it change prices for happy hour on its own?
Yes. Set days, times and prices, and the till applies the happy hour price automatically in that window.
Do orders go to the bar instead of the kitchen?
Yes. Each product goes to the station you choose, and for bars the screen is called the bar screen.
Can I keep a table's bill open?
Yes. The bill stays open while the party is seated and closes when they pay, in full or split.
Do I need a cash register?
Not necessarily. Receipts are issued through a certified e-invoicing provider (Wrapp, Oxygen or iNVOICEsoft), with their MARK and QR code.
