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 Tanzania pays, and how you record it

BelloPOS does not process payments and is not connected to any mobile money network, bank or card machine. The customer pays the way they always do, and you pick the payment method on the sale, so every sale shows how it was paid. You can add your own payment methods to match how your shop gets paid.

Cash in shillings, with change shown on screen and a cash drawer
M-Pesa (Vodacom) to your Lipa number, added as its own payment method
Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money and HaloPesa, each added as a payment method
Bank app and mobile banking transfers, added as another method
Visa and Mastercard on your bank's own card machine
Any other method you take, added by you in a few clicks
Credit for regular customers, settled at month-end (Go plan)
Accounts settled later by bank transfer for schools, lodges and offices (Go plan)

Because BelloPOS does not read your mobile money statements, check the sales recorded under each wallet against the M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa or Airtel Money messages and statements at closing. A gap usually means a payment was recorded under the wrong method.

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.
