Bars
Bar online ordering that takes the round from the table
Guests scan a code at their table and order and pay from their own phone. Each round is paid when it's ordered, so nobody leaves with a tab still open.

The bar is three deep and the kitchen is quiet
A full room doesn't mean a full ticket rail. Guests who can't reach the bar don't order the second round, or the food.
- Guests wait ten minutes to order a second round.
- The food menu sits unread on the table.
- A tab walks out at close.
- Tonight's taps aren't on the printed menu.
- A party of thirty asks for the back room by text.
QR code ordering for bars that also sell food
Your menu lives on your own ordering page, and the table number travels with every order.
01
Order from the table
The code on each table opens your menu. The order reaches the bar and the kitchen with the table number on it.
02
Every round paid when ordered
There are no open tabs. Each round is its own paid order, and table orders count toward the Growth fee.
03
A menu board for the brewery or taproom
Put the menu on any TV or tablet browser, with live prices and a QR code to order. Sold-out items drop off it.
04
Food orders for pickup
Guests order food ahead on your site, for now or up to 14 days out. A second screen shows a code and a first name when it's ready.
05
Tables and a waitlist
Guests book a table on your own site, or join the waitlist from a code at the door. There's no table map and no deposit on a table.
06
Event booking for the back room, with a deposit
A guest asks for a date, you send a quote, and they accept on a link and pay the deposit. Deposits need Stripe.
07
One ticket stream for the bar and the kitchen
Orders from every channel show as tickets on a tablet you own. A tap marks one ready.
What happens between Saturdays
Sous is Appetier's AI agent. It keeps the bar visible online on the days you're closed, within limits you set.
01
Hours that match on Google
Once you connect Google, Sous checks your listing every week and corrects hours and links that have gone stale.
02
Regulars invited back
A regular who hasn't been in for a while gets an invitation back, inside your discount limit and outside quiet hours.
03
Posts from your own photos
Sous drafts as many as three posts a week from your photos and menu, and each one waits for your OK unless you loosen that.
04
Quotes drafted for you
When a party asks about the back room, Sous fills in the quote and leaves sending it to you.
Ready before Friday's doors
There's no hardware to buy. You print the table codes yourself.
01
Photograph the menu, upload the logo
Appetier turns the photo into your menu and picks up the logo's colors. You read the draft over before it's applied.
02
Print a code for each table
Each table gets its own code, and an order placed from it carries that table's number.
03
Save a card and publish
To publish, a bar needs a priced item, a location with opening hours, and a saved card. That card is how Appetier verifies you, and it isn't charged.
Pay on the nights you sell
One fee on direct orders, with a cap.
01
Nothing until orders come in
The fee is 5% of direct orders and stops at $199 a month for each location. A closed week adds nothing to it.

Rewards at checkout
Guests join loyalty while they pay for a round, with no card to carry.
See loyaltyYour bar's menu, the way a table sees it
Give the test drive your bar's website and it builds your ordering page in private. It costs nothing and needs no card or call. No site yet? A logo and a menu photo are enough to start free.
Your bar keeps its POS
Link Square, Clover, or Toast, and a price change or a sold-out item shows up on your menu without retyping. Card payments go through Stripe, or through the processor you have now.

- Toast
