Built for bars & cafés
Pour faster, settle quicker, keep the regulars coming back.
Butlaroo is the ordering platform bars and cafés use to take the next round straight from the table, send orders to the bar without leaving the floor, and turn first-time guests into a regular crowd that walks in by name.

Why bars & cafés are different
A bar is a flat white at nine. And a last round at one.
Same room, two completely different services. At nine it's a flat white, a croissant, a laptop in the window. At five it's a pint after work and a board of olives. At eleven it's the third round, the side of fries, the table that won't quite go home. The bar handles every one of those moments, and the team has to switch gears between them without dropping the warmth that brought the guest in in the first place.
Butlaroo is built for that exact reality. Guests scan a QR at the table or the terrace to order their next round without flagging anyone. Servers send orders from a handheld anywhere on the floor, with the bar display pacing every drink in the order it should land. The bill settles at the table with one tap, split any way the table likes. And a loyalty card built into the same checkout turns the laptop crowd at nine into the after-work crowd at five.
What changes when bars & cafés run on Butlaroo.
- 01
Clear the bar on the sunniest day of the year.
On a packed terrace, the bottleneck is never the kitchen, it's catching the eye of a server. QR ordering at every table splits that bottleneck into as many parallel order points as you have seats, so guests order their next round whenever they're ready, in their own language, without waiting on a free hand. Drinks land at the bar display the second the basket closes.

Lift the average tab by 22%, drinks to bar bites.
The second round, the bowl of olives, the dessert nobody would have asked for: visual menus and gentle prompts nudge the small upsell at the right moment in the basket. Every table becomes its own upseller, in every language, without burdening a bartender who's already three deep at the taps. Operators see consistent tab lifts inside the first month, with the biggest jumps on the terrace and the late-night service.

Run a leaner floor without losing the warmth.
When the QR and the kiosk do the order-taking, your team can do the part that actually matters: greet the regulars, pour a proper drink, recover the spill. Butlaroo handhelds let staff send orders and settle bills from anywhere in the room or on the terrace, so one server keeps a section warm instead of running laps to the POS.

What you'll roll out on day one.
The four pieces of the platform that do the heavy lifting in a bar or café. QR takes the terrace and the table, handhelds take the floor, payments and loyalty live in the same checkout so the regulars keep coming back.
QR Ordering
Scan, order, pay at the table, the bar stool or the terrace. The next round, the second coffee, the bar bite, ordered without flagging anyone down.
Learn morePoint of Sale
Handheld and counter POS that sends straight to the bar display, splits checks in a tap, and stays out of the way of service. One associate covers more covers without a single lap to the POS.
Learn moreButlaroo Pay
Tap to pay at the table or the terrace. Split the bill any way the guests like, settle it before they've stood up, and book the tip straight to the server who poured the drink.
Learn moreButlaroo Loyalty
A digital stamp card baked into the same checkout your guests already use. The flat-white-a-day regular at nine becomes the after-work pint at five, and you see exactly which guests came back this month.

From a bar & café running on Butlaroo
“Since we let groups order themselves during bowling via a QR code, the average spending is significantly higher.”
Everything we offer.
Same platform, every channel and every module: kiosks, QR, POS, web, delivery marketplaces, kitchen display, payments, loyalty, and the AI menu on top.
Questions bar & café owners ask.
How long does it take to roll Butlaroo out across our bar?
Most bars and cafés are live on Butlaroo within two to four weeks. We start with one venue, train the floor and bar team in a single shift, and replicate the same setup across the rest of the group. There is no onboarding fee.
Do we keep our existing card terminal and POS hardware?
Most likely, yes. Butlaroo runs on any tablet or mini-PC, integrates with the leading card terminals (Adyen, Stripe, SumUp and twenty more), and works with most existing receipt printers and bar displays. If you want to replace hardware, we will quote it separately, but it is never required.
Can the platform handle a sold-out terrace on the sunniest day of the year?
Yes. Butlaroo is built for venues that take three hundred plus orders across an evening, with most of them landing inside a two-hour window. The bar display paces every drink and bar bite in the order it should land, with per-station logic so the cocktails don't stack while the taps run dry. The system has been stress-tested at festivals and stadiums during sold-out events.
What happens if the WiFi drops on the terrace mid-service?
Handhelds and counter POS keep taking orders offline and sync the moment the connection comes back. Card terminals fall back to offline mode where the network allows. Guests do not see a difference, and you do not lose a check.
How do takeaway and click & collect orders flow into the bar?
Coffee-to-go orders from your own click & collect site and bar bites from Uber Eats or Just Eat Takeaway land in the same bar display queue as your in-house tables. One menu, one queue. The team treats them like any other ticket, no separate screen behind the bar.
