What is Ritapos — and how is it different from generic POS?
Ritapos bar POS is not a generic sell-and-close terminal. It keeps open tabs, quick keys, partial payments and nightlife pace in one chain. Shot and bottle sales stay visible — a slow menu means lost checks.
In short: the tab stays open, orders keep landing, close-out stays clear.
Ritapos capabilities
At a bar, the real test is whether end-of-night checks reconcile. Ritapos is built for that rhythm:
| Capability | Ritapos |
|---|---|
| Check model | Open tabs, partial pay, split/merge |
| Order speed | Quick keys for top sellers |
| Stations | Bar / snack routing |
| Payments | Mixed tender, fiscal devices |
| Stock | Shot, bottle and waste visibility |
Open Tabs, Stations and Service
Open tabs
Keep table or bar checks open and add orders through the night.
Quick keys
Map beer, shots, cocktails and sets to frequent keys so search does not slow service.
Partial payments
Take part of the bill and leave the rest open; split and merge for groups.
Which bar types fit?
Ritapos works across bar service models — open tabs, speed and stock visibility matter most:
- Pub / beer hall: quick keys, open tabs, snacks
- Cocktail bar: variants, stations and cost discipline
- Meze / long-table venues: long open checks, food + drink
- Multi-site brands: cloud reporting and branch comparison

Fiscal devices, payments and shift close
Payment is the last link on the floor. Keeping cash, card and fiscal (YNÖKC) flows connected to the order screen reduces close-out errors.
Cash register integration
Integrations with Ingenico, Inpos, Pax, Pavo and Paycell cover table-side and counter payment scenarios. Browse hardware at Ritapos Shop.
Flexible tender
Split checks, take partial payments and mix tender types on one bill. End-of-day reports clarify staff and cash movements.
Stock, recipes and food cost
At a bar, loss is often unwritten rather than unsold. Shot and bottle visibility makes waste discussable.
Beverage stock
Alert on critical bottles and fast movers.
Comps and waste
Keep comps and loss on separate lines so night-end debates use data.

Mobile management and QR menu
Use mobile apps for night sales, open tabs and staff performance. QR menus keep price lists current without reprint chaos.
Ops discipline: voids, comps, staff
Unlimited void/comp rights break stock vs sales at close. Permissions keep control without slowing peak service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does bar POS support open tabs?
Yes. Keep table or bar tabs open through the night, take partial payments, merge or split checks. Open tabs stay visible at close so forgotten checks drop.
How do quick product keys work?
Map top beers, shots, cocktails and sets to quick keys so peak sales skip browsing. Discount/comp keys can be permission-gated.
Who is it for?
Pubs, cocktail bars, meyhanes, live-music bars and bar–restaurant hybrids. Prefer bar POS over a generic till when open tabs and stations matter.
Can we track shot and bottle stock?
Yes. Critical beverage stock, waste/comp logs and cost updates stay visible. Bottle items can report waste ratios.
Cash register integration?
Yes. Major fiscal devices including Ingenico, Inpos, Paycell and Pavo are included; orders close after payment.
Can snacks go to a different station?
Yes. Route drinks to the bar and snacks or food to the kitchen; one check can print two tickets.
How do night events or set menus work?
Map sets, cover charges or fixed menus to quick keys with event-hour prices. Reports can filter event revenue separately.
How long does setup take?
After sharing menu, quick keys and stations, most bars go live the same or next day. Academy and support are free.
