Tabs that stay open
A bar tab can stay open for hours across drinks, food, and a rotating group of orders. The floor needs a tab that holds a running total without forcing an early close.
Table Service · Bar & Pub
Freedom POS for bars and pubs.
Freedom POS for bars and pubs is a Table Service sub-vertical built around open tabs, a mixed seated-and-standing floor, and the closing rush at last call.
A bar runs on open tabs, a shifting crowd, and a last call that changes the whole pace of the room. This is Table Service built for the bar, not just the dining room.

Where the work happens
What Bar & Pub handles that other Table Service businesses don't.
These are the moments that make Bar & Pub its own business type, not just a smaller version of Table Service.
A mixed floor
Bars and pubs often run seated tables, a standing bar rail, and high-tops at once. Table and section status need to reflect a room that is not laid out like a dining room.
Last call and the closing rush
Last call compresses a night's worth of closing tabs into a short window. Checks need to close quickly and accurately when the whole bar wants to settle up at once.
Bar-specific ordering
Drink orders move differently than food orders: fast, repeated, and often ordered directly at the bar rather than through a server. Order flow needs to keep pace with how a bar actually rings drinks.
The shared workflow
Bar & Pub runs on the same Table Service workflow.
Bar & Pub is a sub-vertical of Table Service, so it shares the same underlying steps, with its own moments layered on top.

Common questions
Bar & Pub questions, answered.
Can Freedom POS keep a bar tab open across a whole visit?
Building and holding a check across a visit is part of the Table Service Order and Pay steps, which a bar tab is a version of. Bar & Pub is shown on this site as a product preview rather than a live demo.
Does Freedom POS handle the last-call rush?
Closing multiple tabs quickly is part of the same Close step every Table Service business uses. The specific pace of last call is best discussed directly with Freedom POS, since Table Service is a preview here, not a live system.
Is Bar & Pub the same workflow as a full-service restaurant?
Bar & Pub shares the Table Service Seat, Order, Course, Pay, Close workflow with dining rooms, but the moments that matter most, an open tab and last call, differ from a table-service restaurant built around fixed courses. Quick Service remains the most complete v1 demo today.
