The Bar Problem

Your bar is packed. Your staff can't be in three places at once.

Missed Drink Orders

During peak hours, customers wait 10–15 minutes to flag someone down. They give up. You lose the sale and the tip.

Chaotic Order Flow

Orders come from every direction, table, bar, patio. Nothing is organized. Bartenders are guessing who's next.

Zero Revenue Data

You don't know what's selling Friday vs. Saturday. You're restocking on gut feel, not numbers.

3.4M

Daily NYC subway riders in 2025, the highest since pre-COVID. Rooftop and lounge culture peaks June–August. Every missed order in those months is money walking out the door.

The Fix

NFC cards on every table. Orders straight to the bar.

No app download. No cashier interruption. Drink orders go from the table to the bar in real time.

Step One

Customer Taps

NFC card on every table and barstool. Customer taps their phone, your menu loads instantly. No app, no friction.

Step Two

They Order & Tip

Full drink menu, modifiers, and a tip prompt, all on their phone. They can even split the tab with their group.

Step Three

Bar Gets It Instantly

Order appears live on your bar display, table number, item, mods. Bartenders work the queue, not the crowd.

Everything Included

Built for how busy bars actually run.

Every feature your bar staff wishes existed, out of the box, no extra charge.

+0%

Happy Hour Auto-Switch

Happy hour pricing flips on at 5pm and off at 7pm, automatically. No staff re-pricing, no missed windows, no awkward "is it still happy hour?"

Split-Tab Ordering

Every person at the table orders and pays their own way. No more splitting one check six ways at last call.

Built-In Tip Prompts

18 / 20 / 25% prompts at checkout on every order. Bartenders report higher, more consistent tips.

Real-Time Order Status

The customer's phone shows "Pouring now." They stay relaxed. Your bartenders stay focused.

Staff Call Button

Regulars Remember Their Drink

How the tap actually works.

The questions every owner asks before saying yes, answered straight.

Tap or scan, their choice

Modern iPhones (XS and newer) and most Androids open your menu with one tap. Every card also has a printed QR code as an instant fallback, so every customer gets in, no exceptions.

Works on almost any phone

Your menu opens right in the phone's browser. No app download, no App Store, no install, nothing for your customer to figure out.

Put them anywhere

Durable cards for tables, counters, menu stands, the bar rail, or the side of a truck. No power, no wiring, no new hardware.

You get paid directly

Customers pay from their phone via Stripe (2.9% + $0.30 at cost, we take no cut), or pay at your counter. Tips and the full ticket go straight to you.

Simple Pricing

One missed round a week pays for the month.

No hardware. No app. No contract required. Just a tap-to-order system that runs itself, and your bar algorithm included.

FAQ

Bar owner questions, answered.

Straight answers, no jargon. Still curious? Call or text us; we actually pick up.

Will it work when the bar is loud and packed?

That's exactly when it earns its keep. Orders arrive structured and timestamped on the bar display instead of being shouted across the room, nothing gets lost at peak, and bartenders pour instead of straining to hear. Every table card also has a QR fallback, so it works even when you're slammed.

Do my customers need to download an app?

No app download required. Customers tap their phone to any NFC card and their browser opens your drink menu instantly, no App Store, no friction.

How long does setup take?

Most bars are live within 3–5 business days. We build your branded menu, program your NFC cards, and set up your bar display, before your next busy weekend.

What equipment do I need?

Any existing tablet or phone works for the bar display. The NFC cards we include sit on your tables and barstools, no POS replacement, no new terminals.

Can customers tip through the system?

Yes. Customizable tip prompts appear at checkout, 18%, 20%, 25%, or custom. Bars consistently report higher, more consistent tips because the prompt is built into every order.

Is there a contract?

Core is month-to-month with no contract, cancel anytime. During Founding 30, starting on a quarterly plan waives your $599 setup fee and locks your founding rate for life, even when prices rise.

What's included in the price?

The full ordering system, bar display dashboard, real-time analytics, tip prompts, split-tab ordering, multi-language menus, and your branded NFC cards. No hidden fees, no transaction cuts.

From the founder

Built in NYC, for NYC.

I'm Dan, a NYC operator who got tired of watching independent bars, cafés, and restaurants lose orders, tips, and data to systems built for chains. Tap2Order is what I wanted for my own spots: no app, no hardware, no contract. Just one tap. If you sign up this summer, I personally make sure you're live within the week.
