Do customers need a running session to order at the bar?

No. On Growth and Pro, a customer can scan a bar table's QR code and order before any bill exists. The first order opens the bill, and staff approve it before it is added.

Can staff attach a customer at the bar?

Yes. From the table sidebar, staff can attach a customer to an open bill or a running session, change it, or remove it, so the customer's membership and loyalty points apply at checkout.

Q: Can I move a finished game to the bar?

Yes. Staff transfer the session to a bar table. The timer stops, the table time stays on the bill as its own line, the orders move with it, and the billiard table is free again.

Bar tables carry a bill with no timer, billiard tables bill by time, and both settle in one checkout. CuePoint keeps the bar and the floor on one screen, one receipt, and one set of reports.

The problem

Two books, one bar

A bar with pool tables runs two books. The bar keeps a tab per seat or per group, the tables keep a timer, and at closing time someone reconciles the two by hand. Drinks ordered from the table end up on the wrong bill, table time gets rounded from memory, and the night's numbers are only as good as the notes.

Generic bar POS systems do not know what a table timer is, and billiard hall software usually treats every table as a timed table. A group that finishes a game, moves to the bar, and keeps drinking either gets two bills or a table that stays occupied while the timer keeps running.

Owners also want to know where the money came from. Was tonight strong because of table time or because of the bar? Two books cannot answer that without another spreadsheet.

The solution

One floor, one checkout

CuePoint lets you mark any table as a bar table. A bar table has no timer: its bill opens with the first item staff add, or the first QR order a customer sends from their phone, and it stays open until checkout. Billiard tables keep billing by time from their Table Rate Type, on the same floor and in the same list.

When a game ends and the group wants to keep the evening going, staff transfer the session to a bar table. The timer stops, the table time stays on the bill as its own line, the orders move with it, and the billiard table is free for the next players. One checkout, one receipt.

Reports keep table time on the billiard tables and bar sales on the bar tables, so utilization stays honest and the bar's revenue shows up where it was earned.
