BelloPOS for your trade

Free POS software for bars and lounges

Rounds, open tabs and a counter that never stops, on a till that keeps working when the Wi‑Fi does not.

Free download for Windows · checking the latest release… · works offline

A bar is a stream of small orders that add up over a night: a round here, two cocktails there, a plate of olives for the table in the corner. BelloPOS keeps every table's tab open and running, lets the counter ring a pint in one tap, and prints the bill the moment a guest asks for it, all on the Windows PC or Mac behind your bar, with no internet needed.

Pick "Bar" when you set BelloPOS up and the demo database opens on beers, wines, cocktails, soft drinks and bar snacks, in your language and currency, so you can try service before typing a single product. The free lifetime licence covers sales, receipts and stock; table plans and staff apps come with a paid plan, for life or by the month.

What you get

Open tabs per table

Start a tab, add rounds all evening and settle it at the end, in full or split between guests. The running total is always on screen.

One-tap rounds

Draught beers, house cocktails and softs sit on the front grid, so the busiest drinks are one press at the counter.

Stock that follows every pour

Bottles, kegs and mixers come off stock as they sell, so the night's close tells you what to reorder before the weekend.

Staff and the cash drawer

Each bartender logs in with their own PIN, roles decide who can void or discount, and the shift close counts the drawer against the till.

How customers pay in the UK, and how BelloPOS records it

Cards now make up the large majority of UK payments, with debit cards alone accounting for more than half and cash down to around one payment in twelve, according to UK Finance. Your till has to record every one of these correctly.

Contactless debit and credit cards, the everyday way to pay on the high street
Chip and PIN for larger amounts or when contactless is declined
Apple Pay, Google Pay and other mobile wallets, taken on the same card machine
Cash, with a float, cash in and out, and a counted drawer at close
Bank transfer and Faster Payments, common for trade and account customers
Customer credit (on account) for regulars who settle at the end of the week or month, with BelloPOS Go
Gift vouchers or other methods you add yourself as payment types

BelloPOS does not take card payments itself and is not connected to a card machine. You keep your own terminal from your bank or payment provider, take the payment there, and select the payment method in BelloPOS so your reports split cash and card correctly.

Questions merchants ask

Can I keep several tabs open at once?

Yes. Every table keeps its own running order, and you can move a tab to another table or split it between guests when they pay.

Is there a demo I can try with bar products?

Yes. Choose "Try with demo data" at setup, then "Bar": BelloPOS creates beers, wines, cocktails, softs and snacks for you, in your language and currency.

Does it need the internet?

No. Everything is stored on the bar's own PC, so a dropped connection on a Saturday night changes nothing.
