Customers tap their order, get an anonymous nickname like midnight-fox,
and wait. The bar makes drinks in queue order. No POS integration, no logins, no PII —
just the queue. We ship a hardened iPad with BarQ pre-installed and locked to your bar.

How it works
Three steps. We do the setup so you don't have to.
Send your bar's name, menu, and the vibe you're going for. We build a personalized BarQ — your drinks, your colors, your copy, your typography. Want it changed later? Email again. No tiered settings panels.
A hardened iPad arrives in a counter-friendly mount with BarQ pre-installed and locked to kiosk mode — no app store, no settings, no curious customers escaping the order screen.
Set it on the bar and turn it on. Customers self-order, the queue updates live, you make drinks in order. That's the whole job.
What's included
No subscription tiers. No upsells. Built for bars, not for SaaS dashboards.
Counter-mount form factor, screen always on, locked to BarQ. Won't get yanked into TikTok.
Your drinks, your prices, your bar's name and tagline — pre-loaded before we ship.
Auto-resets between customers, screen stays on, only exits with your manager PIN.
Big mono numerals, "Now Pouring" hero with status colors, animated as orders flow in.
"Another Old Fashioned" — repeat customers get back in queue without re-entering their name.
Customers see how long until their drink — no more "did they forget me?"
Anonymous nicknames by default — midnight-fox, amber-otter. No PII collected, ever.
No POS hookup. No accounts. No payment processing. Just the queue. Cash, card, tab — handle however your bar already does.
Your bar, your brand
BarQ isn't a generic SaaS theme. Every install is built for a single bar from the ground up. Menu, colors, copy, typography, layout — name it, we change it. Email, not a settings panel.
