Free POS software for bars and lounges

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.

A POS system for bars, taverns and bottle stores

Beer and spirits are the most valuable stock in many Zambian businesses, and the easiest to lose. BelloPOS scans every crate and bottle in and takes it out as it sells, whether it goes over the counter of a bottle store or to a table in a bar. Each attendant logs in with their own account, roles decide who can void a sale, give a discount or open the drawer, and from Go the activity log records who did what and when. Stock counts show the gap between the system and the shelf, so missing bottles are spotted the same week, not at the end of the month.

A Friday night in a Lusaka bar, a Chipolopolo match day in a Kitwe tavern or a busy weekend at a riverside lodge bar in Livingstone all look the same at the counter. With Pro, each table keeps a running bill that waiters add to from their phones over your own Wi-Fi until the guests settle. Sales reports per attendant and a cash count at closing show who sold what. ZRA lists clear beer, opaque beer, spirits and wines as excise goods, and liquor licensing has its own rules, so check your obligations with your accountant.
