Fast floor service
A floor plan with every table's state at a glance, quick-sale at the bar, per-guest seats, and re-taps that add to the round instead of duplicating it. Rounds go out faster — and new staff ring like veterans after one night.
In real service, every night, at a Puerto Vallarta cocktail bar
Barform POS was built inside a working bar — not an office. Every screen exists because a night of service demanded it: ring up fast, never fight over tables between iPads, and let the inventory square itself.
What a bar actually uses — no modules nobody asked for.

A table open on one iPad locks on the rest — with the holder's name on it. If an iPad dies, the table frees itself. No overwritten rounds, no lost tickets, no “who has table four.”
Every drink depletes its recipe — even when the guest swaps the spirit in their cocktail. Blind counts from the iPad, in bottles and tenths, check the shelf against what was sold. Shrinkage stops being a rumor.
The till squares or tells you why: a Z report with every pay-in and pay-out itemized — who, when, what for. House accounts count as sales only when the money actually arrives.
Prep tickets fire straight to their stations. The check prints whole, by seat, or split evenly — however the table decides to pay — and receipts only exist if the guest asks.
Floor in Spanish, office in English — or the other way around. Even the sign-in emails arrive in each person's language. Nobody translates for anybody.
Barform didn't start as software: it started as a real bar's frustrations with its previous POS. We built it, migrated the full menu — 400+ products, 19 modifier groups — and put it to work through a real night of service. Then another. Every close, every count and every ticket in this product has already passed through working bartenders' hands.
That's why the decisions feel different: the drawer pops even when no receipt prints, the change reads from across the bar, and inventory counts happen walking the shelf with an iPad — not on a laptop in the office.
iPads (it runs beautifully even on iPad mini) and networked Epson thermal printers for tickets and receipts. No proprietary hardware.
Yes — fully and independently: the floor POS and the admin panel can each run in their own language.
We migrated a full bar off TouchBistro ourselves — menu, modifiers, prices and inventory. We know exactly where it hurts, and we do it with you.
The POS is honest about it: it detects the outage instantly and guards charges so they can never duplicate or vanish on reconnect. Card payments live on your terminal, as always.
We're opening spots in stages with founder pricing for the first bars. Join the list and we'll talk real numbers.
