Focus POS - Bars & Nightclubs

Bars & Nightclub Features

Bars & Nightclub Overview

Focus excels in the Bar and Nightclub scene. Focus minimizes the number of touches to ring in an order and start a tab which increases productivity and improves customer service. With the lightning quick Focus Fast Bar Screen, the end result is a happy guest and increased profits. Bartenders can start a tab by simply swiping a credit card or entering the customer’s name. Accessing open tabs is easy when using the Tab List Screen. Up to 64 tabs can be displayed on one screen and are sorted alphabetically for easy identification and access. For those hard to remember or infrequent drink orders, bartenders can simply look up the pre-defined recipe of a cocktail or shot with a touch of a button.

Focus is flexible enough to handle multiple revenue centers (cocktail, bar and table areas) within the same restaurant. Reports can then be broken down and viewed for individual revenue centers.

Bar and Nightclub specific features such as tab list screens, hidden subtotals, pre-authorizations, repeat rounds, timed rates (pool table timers), simultaneous multiple user logins, automatic modifier requirements, restricted error corrects, fingerprint control, age verification, evenly split checks, sales accountability, packaged commands, cash trays, blind checkouts, offline credit, automatic menu changes, printer rerouting, cash and carry features and real-time labor percentages are just a few of the features that make Focus excel in Bars and Nightclubs.

Additionally, optional modules such as Age Verification, High Speed Credit Card Interface, Gift Card Interface, House Accounts, Delivery, Property Management, Scheduling and Inventory Control can be utilized to maximize profits, improve customer service, reduce training time and produce an unparalleled point of sale user experience.

Speed of Service

Speed of service is the key requirement when choosing the proper software solution for your Bar or Nightclub. Focus’ unique ability to model your bar’s order taking procedures ensures orders are entered as quickly and accurately as possible. Fast Bar Screens, high speed credit card processing, packaged commands, repeat rounds and countdown items are just a few of the many Focus features used to increase speed of service.

Fast Bar Screens

Fast Bar Screens are designed to function just like the name, fast and efficient. Up to 150 buttons can be place on each screen. Screens can be designed with the most popular menu items, payments, quantity buttons and functions so the user does not waste time flipping through multiple screens to enter an order.

High Speed Credit Card Processing

Integrated high speed credit card processing eliminates the need for a separate machine and 2-3 second authorization times are achieved when using Internet based processors.

Packaged Commands

Packaged Commands allows the user to enter multiple menu items, discounts, modifiers and commands with one touch of a button.

Repeat Rounds

Focus recognizes that most customers order the same drink every time while at a bar or nightclub. The Repeat Round option allows the employee to recall the customer’s tab and simply touch the Repeat button to reorder the previous round of drinks. The ease of reordering allows employees to start serving the next customer sooner, thereby increasing speed of service

Shared Tabs

Focus allows tabs to be shared by multiple bartenders. Customers can start a tab with one bartender and order a drink from a different bartender and have it placed on the same tab. The bartender that closes the customer’s tab is responsible for the payment.

Pre-Authorized Tabs

Customer tabs can be Pre-Authorized to verify the credit card is valid and has sufficient funds available. Employees can be automatically notified that the credit card needs to be re-authorized when the credit threshold has been reached.

As you view the screenshots keep in mind the flexibility that you will have in designing your own location. On the left is a fast bar screen set-up with the best selling beers& drinks. However it also has quantity buttons, drink modifiers, forms of payment and age verification. This is set up to move drinks quickly from a single screen.

The center screen is set up for non-alcoholic beverages and beer. This could work for a location that doesn't sell hard liquor. On the right you have a standard type cocktail screen, except that the 2 drink images are actually the drink specials for the day. You also have open liquor and information buttons.
