POS for beach bars and terraces

The POS for beach bars that withstands the summer right on the sand

A beach bar (chiringuito) works against all elements: sun that overheats screens, sand that gets in everywhere, salt humidity, and, above all, an internet connection that is rarely stable at the water's edge. Added to this is a season concentrated into a few months, with massive demand peaks in summer and long periods of closure the rest of the year. The POS must adapt to this very specific reality.

Food&Service works in the cloud with 4G/5G connection via SIM card when there is no reliable WiFi, on rugged devices designed for the outdoors. It complies with VeriFactu, speeds up service on the terrace with mobile handhelds, and can be set up just before the season begins, so the beach bar is operational from the first beach day with everything under control.

Works with 4G/5G even if you don't have WiFi on the beach

Connection is the biggest problem for any business on the sand: WiFi doesn't reach, drops out, or simply doesn't exist. Food&Service is designed to work with 4G/5G mobile data via SIM card, so you can charge, take orders, and issue tickets without depending on a fixed network that is almost never reliable at the beach.

As a cloud system, your sales are synchronized as soon as there is a signal, and you can check the beach bar's data from anywhere. This gives you peace of mind that service won't stop due to a coverage problem on the very day the beach is packed.

Designed for sun, sand, and the terrace

The conditions of a beach bar punish any equipment: direct sun, sand, humidity, and heat are the enemies of electronics. Food&Service works on rugged devices prepared for the outdoors, without forcing you to set up a fixed and delicate installation that the first high tide or busy weekend would put in jeopardy.

For the terrace and sunbeds, the mobile handheld allows the waiter to take orders right next to the customer and send them instantly to the bar or kitchen, without trekking back and forth through the sand with the order in their head. Fewer trips, fewer errors, and a more agile service under the sun.

Withstands the peaks of high season

A beach bar's summer is won or lost in a few weeks of intense demand, with a full terrace and an overflowing bar at midday. Food&Service maintains flow with several terminals working simultaneously, shortcuts to the most ordered drinks and portions, and payments by cash, card, or Bizum without bottlenecks, so that the August peak doesn't turn into endless queues.

Drink stock control alerts you when a reference is running low, which is critical when restocked on a Saturday afternoon in August is almost impossible. With sales analytics by time slot, you know when demand concentrates and can organize the team to avoid falling short at the worst moment.

Multilingual QR menu, take away, and seasonal activation

The beach is a magnet for international tourism. The digital QR menu shows your offer always updated and, with integrated translation, foreign tourists read the menu in their own language without you having to print different versions that the breeze and humidity would ruin in a day.

Food&Service also manages take-away orders, very common in a beach environment, and can be activated only during the season your beach bar is open, without carrying expenses during the months the shutters are down. Setup is fast, and you have 365-day support to have everything ready before the first sunny weekend.
