A setup for pubs & bars

Pub service combines fast rounds, tabs, dining tables and often a beer garden. Plan separate bar shortcuts and food ordering, then test how the two meet at payment and daily reconciliation.

Bring your drinks list to the demo. Rehearse a busy round, a table food order and a split bill. Outdoor handheld coverage needs a site connectivity check.

FAQ

Pubs & bars questions

Can we configure drinks shortcuts?

We review quick-key layouts, sizes and modifiers for your Shift4 Dine menu. Your team checks the final layout before going live.

Will handhelds work in our beer garden?

Coverage depends on your venue, network and chosen devices. We assess the intended service areas rather than assuming every outdoor space has suitable connectivity.

Can we keep bar and kitchen orders separate?

We review order destinations in the proposed configuration and demonstrate how drinks and food are routed before agreeing the setup.
