The bar already has a terminal. It’s in everyone’s pocket.
Guests order and pay from the same app that holds their ticket, and any bartender scans the prepaid pass. Anyone who’d rather hand over a card can — Tap to Pay on iPhone takes it.
What you don’t have to bring
Counter is built for rooms that don’t have a bar installed in them.
How a round works
Drinks unlock on the guest’s phone once they’re through the door.
From their seat, in the app that already holds their ticket. They get a prepaid pass.
Any bartender, any phone. The pass shows the paid order and redeems on the spot.
Someone who never opened the app still gets a drink.
Counter is built around guests ordering from their own phone. Not everyone will. Hold their card to the top of your iPhone and the sale is done — no reader to buy, charge, pair or lose. The round lands in the same takings and the same payout as every other sale.
Tap the drinks into the sale on your own phone. The total builds as you go.
Card, phone or watch against the top of yours. A second, and it’s paid.
Nothing to scan — they’re standing in front of you. Receipt if they want one.
Your menu price is what they pay.
Tell us what you want to keep on a drink and we work out the price to list. Your guest pays exactly that — no fee at the bar, nothing added at checkout, no surprise on the way out. Tips are yours in full.
| A $12 drink | Guest pays | Our fee | You keep | Per drink |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | $12.00 | $1.75 | $10.25 | 85.4% |
| Round of two | $24.00 | $2.75 | $21.25 | 88.5% |
| Round of four | $48.00 | $4.25 | $43.75 | 91.1% |
Our fee lands once per order, so a round costs you proportionally less than a single. Rounds are the norm at a bar, which is where that works hardest.
