Running a restobar and restaurant may seem similar but they’re actually different in certain ways! Yes, both places serve food and drinks but their environment, types of customers, and how they operate aren’t the same.
Restaurants serve mostly families, couples, and individuals who want to enjoy a relaxed dining atmosphere.
Meanwhile, restobars attract customers who are looking for a good night out. These businesses open from late evening to the early hours of the morning to serve alcoholic drinks and your favorite pulutan while you enjoy live music.
Running a restobar is a tough task but it becomes a lot easier when you have a dependable system. Besides managing your sales, staff, and inventory, a great POS system helps you create a smooth and memorable experience for your patrons.
To help you out, we’ve listed down the top features you need in your restobar POS system!
An inventory that tracks different alcohol, cocktails, and food ingredients
Restobars are always packed with excited customers eager to eat their favorite sisig and drink a tall glass of beer after a long day. Ask yourself: is your inventory prepared for this? Are you keeping a close enough eye on your inventory to ensure that you’re not wasting anything and reducing costs at the same time?
And most importantly: are you still doing all of this manually?
Having a POS that can do that all for your restobar can save you a lot of time and effort – like StoreHub’s Inventory Management Tool! From composite inventory to comprehensive reports, you can easily access any inventory data across different stores all through your point-of-sale or StoreHub Manager App.
QR Ordering to make it easier for your customers to order
As the night goes on, the orders start piling up. It can be hard to keep track of all of this.
Give your customers a better ordering and dining experience with QR ordering. Just like StoreHub’s QR Order & Pay feature, your customers can order their food and drinks with just a few taps on their phones.
If your patrons want to order more jugs of San Miguel beer to share with their friends, they can just scan the QR Code on their table, view the whole menu, order their drinks, and pay on their phones. Orders are automatically sent to the kitchen so this means lesser chances for any errors!
Your staff can also focus on other important tasks that matter more to your business.

Saving, splitting, and merging customer orders and bills
Big groups, which are common in restobars, have more complicated orders, requests, and bills. It can be time consuming and stressful to accommodate all of them at once.
Your POS has to be able to do all of that for you.
- Saving orders: at restobars, customers often add more drinks and food to their orders as time goes on. For example: a group of friends decided to stay longer and order more pints of beer. That’s when a POS system that can save orders just like StoreHub can help you. Just add any new orders to your customer’s order earlier which has been saved in your POS System.
- Splitting bills: it’s common for your customers to split the bill after a night out. A restobar POS that can easily split the bill for you without having to manually calculate it yourself can save time and avoid any mistakes.
- Merging bills: customers can be at your restobar celebrating a birthday, despedida, or anniversary. This usually means that one of them wants to pay for the whole group. So instead of manually calculating each drink and dish, the StoreHub POS system can simplify the process of merging orders and bills.
Improved security with employee and cashier access control
Unfortunately, employee theft can happen in any business including restobars.
While you’ve done all you can to hire efficient and trustworthy staff, the StoreHub POS’ employees access controls provide added security for your business operations.
This feature lets you limit staff access to certain functions on the POS such as cashier access control, where you can decide which staff is authorized to issue refunds, offer discounts, and manage other types of payment transactions.
StoreHub’s POS features such as employee access controls and real-time inventory tracking give you peace of mind while running a restobar. On busy nights when the orders keep coming in, worrying about theft and fraud should be the last thing on your mind.
