Bar Ordering Software for Faster Repeat Service and Better Food Coordination

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers for teams evaluating OrderNow solutions.
What software does a bar need?
Depending on service model, bars may use digital menu, table ordering, POS, KOT/KDS, promotions, staff controls and sales reporting. Bars with kitchens need especially clear food-and-drink routing.
Can guests order from the table with OrderNow?
Yes. Bars can configure QR table ordering so guests can browse and submit enabled orders from their phones without installing an app.
Can OrderNow route drinks and food separately?
Advanced kitchen and printer routing can be configured so relevant order items reach different preparation areas.
Does OrderNow replace bartender age checks?
No. Digital ordering does not remove legal or responsible-service requirements. Staff remain responsible for identification, alcohol-service rules and venue policy.
Can OrderNow support happy-hour promotions?
OrderNow supports promotions and discounts according to configuration. The venue should define eligible items, timing and staff permissions clearly.
Does OrderNow charge order commission?
OrderNow does not charge a percentage commission on orders processed through the platform. Subscription pricing and external provider fees may apply separately.
Can bars use OrderNow for food as well as drinks?
Yes. Bars with kitchens can use restaurant ordering, POS and KOT/KDS workflows for food and beverage items.
