POS Software for Bars and Pubs in India

Bar service is defined by the open tab. Guests order repeatedly across an evening, move between tables, and settle once at the end — often splitting the bill several ways. Meanwhile your highest-value inventory is being poured by hand, where small measurement drift turns into large monthly losses.

Tabs that stay open and stay correct

An order added at 9pm and another at 11pm belong to one bill. Servyn keeps the tab open against the table or guest across the evening, so the settle-up at close reflects everything ordered without staff reconstructing it from memory.

Splitting the bill without recalculating by hand

Groups rarely pay as one. Bills can be split across guests or by item, with GST recomputed on each part, which removes the arithmetic that slows down your close and causes disputes at the counter.

Track pour-level stock, not just bottles

Selling a 30ml peg from a 750ml bottle means stock has to reduce fractionally. Tracking only whole bottles hides the gap between what was poured and what was sold — which is exactly where bar shrinkage lives. Recipe-level deduction makes that variance visible while it is still small enough to act on.

Pour-level inventory catches shrinkage a bottle count misses

Tracking stock only by whole bottles hides the drift that happens pour by pour — a 30ml peg poured slightly heavy dozens of times a night adds up to real loss that a monthly bottle count won't explain on its own.

GST and state liquor tax calculated separately, automatically

Alcohol sits outside GST and is taxed under state excise and VAT instead, so a bar bill genuinely carries two different tax treatments — see how GST applies to restaurants with a bar for the full breakdown.

Frequently asked questions

Can a POS handle running bar tabs?

Yes. Servyn keeps a tab open against a table or guest so orders placed across an evening settle as one bill, with support for splitting that bill by guest or by item.

How do I reduce liquor shrinkage in a bar?

Track stock at pour level rather than by bottle. When each 30ml peg sold deducts from the bottle, the difference between poured and sold volume becomes measurable, and consistent over-pouring or unrecorded serves show up in the variance report.

Does Servyn calculate GST and liquor tax separately on the same bill?

Yes. Food is taxed under GST and alcohol under state excise/VAT, applied per item so a mixed bill reflects both correctly.
