POS for bars and cafés

The bar charges in one tap, the terrace orders and pays from the phone, and the cash close tells you what is missing and where. On the tablet or phone you already have, from €19/month with VeriFactu included.

Mesero's POS on a tablet (Spanish interface): the menu on the left, Table 4's bill in the middle and the terrace tables on the right.

Illustrative scene, AI-generated
A day at your bar

From the breakfast coffees to the cash close.

This is how an ordinary day at a bar runs in Mesero, with its real screens (Spanish interface) and example data. Scroll slowly: the clock moves with you.

  1. · Breakfast

    The bar, in quick mode

    Coffee, toast and out the door. Takeaway opens a ticket by number without going through the floor plan, what sells most is close at hand in Recent, and payment in Quick mode takes one tap: cash or card for the exact amount.

    Modifiers travel with their line, so “with oat milk” doesn't get lost on the way.

  2. · Terrace

    The terrace orders by itself

    Each table has its QR. The guest opens the menu in their phone's browser, with nothing to download, orders and, if you switch it on, pays from there. The order reaches the POS and the kitchen with its table number, like any other.

    Mesero charges nothing per order. A card payment through Mesero carries only Stripe's fee; cash or your own terminal, nothing. How QR ordering works

  3. · Set lunch

    The kitchen knows what goes first

    Each dish reaches the kitchen display with its table, its course and its notes, and the kitchen advances it until it is marked ready. Nobody shouts orders over the coffee machine.

    The kitchen display comes with the Starter plan. On Barra, the order prints on the kitchen printer.

  4. · Drinks and tapas

    The order on the phone, the ticket in the kitchen

    With Mesero Comandas, each waiter takes the order on their own iPhone or Android and it goes out at once. If the terrace loses signal, the app keeps the orders on the phone and sends them in order when the connection is back.

    The app has an English interface. Everyone signs in with their own PIN: 1 user on Barra, 5 on Starter, 15 on Pro and unlimited on Enterprise.

  5. · Close

    The till, counted and explained

    You count the cash by notes and coins, and Mesero compares it with what the sales, each card terminal and Bizum say. If something doesn't match, you see in which method and by how much, before you close the day.

    Cash control comes with every plan, along with tickets and VeriFactu.

What a bar needs

The seconds lost at the bar, won back.

At a bar the bottleneck is hardly ever the kitchen: it is charging, charging again and splitting the bill of a table of six. This is what Mesero does about it.

Modifiers that don't get lost

With oat milk, no ice, a double: each modifier is attached to its line and reaches the kitchen ticket and the receipt that way.

The bill for the table of six

By items, in equal parts between 2 and 6, by amounts or moving lines to a new ticket. The parts always add up to the total, to the cent.

Your card terminal, integrated

With a Redsys terminal registered for TPV-PC, the amount reaches the terminal by itself. If you'd rather not set it up, you charge in manual mode or with a SumUp-style reader.

Regulars, recognised

With the customer club (Pro plan), the waiter scans the card on the guest's phone at checkout and the regular gets their discount, even when you raise your prices.

Happy hour without touching prices

Promotions on the Pro plan apply 2-for-1, the second unit free or a percentage by day and time slot on their own, at the POS and on the QR menu, and show on the receipt.

Stock of your fastest sellers

From Starter, each sale takes from the inventory what the product contains, and the stock count tells you what is missing before you call the supplier.

Which plan

Three bars, three plans.

The same POS for all of them. What changes is how many people use it at once and what switches on around it.

  • Barra · €19/monthNeighbourhood café

    One person behind the bar, breakfasts and takeaway: 1 terminal and 1 user, QR ordering at the table, VeriFactu and the Mesero Comandas app.

  • Starter · €39/monthTapas bar with a terrace

    A small team and a small kitchen: 5 users, the kitchen display, inventory and staff clock-in.

  • Pro · €79/monthBar with loyal regulars

    Up to 3 terminals and 15 users, the customer club, promotions and the QR menu in your own brand, plus bookings and online ordering.

All connected

The bar, the terrace and the kitchen, on the same bill.

These are not six apps stitched together: it is one database. Whatever comes in through the QR, the waiter's phone or the bar lands on the same bill, in the same kitchen and in the same till.

  • One menu for everything. You change it once and it changes on the POS, on the waiters' phones and on the tables' QR.
  • Everyone with their own PIN. Voids and discounts are recorded under the name of whoever makes them.
  • No mandatory hardware. Your tablet, your phone and your 80 mm thermal printer will do.
Your bar at the centre, with the POS, cash control, QR ordering, the kitchen display, Mesero Comandas and the customer club around it.

FAQ

What a bar asks before switching POS.

If your question is not here, write to us: a person from the team replies.

Talk to us
Does it work for a bar where it's just me behind the counter?

Yes, that is what the Barra plan is for, at €19/month: 1 terminal and 1 user, the POS in table, bar or counter mode, QR ordering at the table, tickets with VeriFactu and the Mesero Comandas app. If you hire someone, Starter goes up to 5 users and adds the kitchen display and inventory.

Can I keep using my bank's card terminal?

Yes, in integrated mode over Redsys: you press «Charge card» on the POS and the amount reaches the terminal by itself. You need a terminal registered for TPV-PC and a Windows PC with the Redsys plugin. If you'd rather not set it up, you can use the terminal in manual mode or a SumUp-style reader.

What happens if the internet drops at rush hour?

The POS shows it in the header. Mesero runs in the cloud, so it needs internet to send orders and charge: if the bar's line goes down, share your phone's data with the tablet and carry on. The Mesero Comandas app keeps orders on the phone and sends them when the connection is back.

Can the terrace order and pay from the phone?

Yes, from the Barra plan. Each table has its QR: the guest opens the menu in their browser, with nothing to install, orders and, if you switch payment on, pays from their phone. The order reaches the POS and the kitchen like any other. Mesero charges no commission per order; a card payment through Mesero carries only Stripe's fee.

Can I give my regulars a discount?

Yes, with the customer club on the Pro plan. You decide from which visit a guest becomes a regular and what discount they get; they carry their card on their phone, the waiter scans it at checkout and the discount applies to one bill a day.

How much does it cost, and is there a lock-in?

Barra costs €19/month, Starter €39/month, Pro €79/month and Enterprise from €149/month. You can try it free for 90 days, with no card, and there is no lock-in: you change plan or cancel whenever you like.
