Bars, Lounges & Nightlife
The challenge

Bar operations break down when tabs run loose and drinks go untracked.

Keeping a mental list of who owes what leads to unpaid tabs and disputes at closing. Without tracking how much of each bottle leaves the bar, shrinkage and over-pouring quietly eat into margin. At the end of a busy night, reconciling cash and mobile money against actual sales takes too long and leaves too many questions.

01Untracked open tabs result in unpaid bills and difficult close-of-night disputes
02No drinks inventory means over-pouring and shrinkage go unnoticed until stock runs short
03Manual cash reconciliation at shift end is slow and unreliable without a sales record
How Zentro works for Bars, Lounges & Nightlife

Every workflow handled.

01

Set up tables and bar seats

Create your floor plan — bar seats, lounge tables, VIP areas. Each seat gets a QR code guests can scan to order directly from their phone.

02

Open a tab, add rounds

Open a tab on a table or seat and add drinks as rounds come in. Everything stays on the tab until the guest is ready to settle.

03

Close and collect payment

Cash, card, MTN MoMo or Airtel Money — or split across methods. The tab closes instantly and the inventory deducts.

04

Reconcile at shift end

Revenue by seat, by bartender, by drinks category. Drinks sold versus physical stock checks. Cash versus mobile money breakdown.

What changes

Real results, in practice.

Open tab management
Tables and seats with running tabs. Guests settle when they're done — no disputes, no guesswork.
Drinks inventory
Each drink is a product in stock. Every sale deducts. Low-stock alerts before you run out of a popular drink.
QR ordering
Guests scan, browse and order from their seat. Orders appear immediately at the bar — fewer trips, faster service.
Shift reconciliation
Sales by payment method, revenue by drinks category and stock movement — all available at shift close.
