Bar EPOS – FAQs

Is bar EPOS the same as bar POS software?

Yes. POS means Point of Sale, while EPOS means Electronic Point of Sale. In the UK and Ireland, bar EPOS is the common term for modern bar POS software that combines tills, payments, reporting, stock control and staff permissions.

How will RST EPOS speed up service at the bar?

Fast screens, clear product layouts and quick keys make transactions simple and helps keep queues short during peak times.

How do integrated payments work with Chip & PIN?

Save the order on the EPOS, then pick it up on the Chip & PIN terminal automatically. This removes re-keying, reduces errors and speeds up checkout. Contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported, tips and refunds can be managed from EPOS.

What controls help prevent misuse and mistakes?

Role-based permissions, secure staff sign-in and manager approvals for voids, refunds and discounts. Every action is logged, so you can see who did what and when.

Can I see sales and KPIs when I am off-site?

Yes. Live cloud reports show sales by site, product and user. Daily KPI emails keep managers updated, multi-site dashboards provide a clear overview.

How does stock control reduce wastage and shrinkage?

Real-time stock levels, wastage logging, stock takes and variance reports help you spot issues early, protect margin and keep best-sellers available.

Will it keep working if the internet drops?

Core EPOS continues offline and syncs when the connection returns. Card payments depend on your terminal and provider configuration.

What hardware is recommended for a bar?

A rugged touchscreen EPOS, receipt printer, cash drawer and Chip & PIN terminal are typical. Handheld ordering devices and kitchen displays can be added as needed.

Can you migrate my products and prices from my current system?

Yes. We can import product lists and pricing from a spreadsheet export, which speeds up setup and keeps your team focused on service.

How much does it cost and can I keep my current card provider?

Packages are tailored to venue size and modules. Monthly or upfront pricing is available. We integrate with leading acquirers, and we can also price TapaPay so you can compare. Book a demo to get a clear quote.
