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.

BarQ isn't a one-time install. It's a partnership — we keep your software current, your iPad working, and your bar's queue running. The day something breaks is the day we already have a replacement on a truck.
Cracked screen, drowned in a Mai Tai, walked off the bar — doesn't matter. We ship a replacement the next day. Your menu and queue live on our servers, not the device, so the new iPad picks up exactly where the old one left off. No data loss. No setup. No downtime.
Updates ship overnight while you're closed. Bugs are patched before you notice them. New features show up the next morning. No App Store taps, no maintenance windows, no version drift between iPads. The software you have today gets better tomorrow, for free.
Email scalebaseio@gmail.com — that's it. No ticket queues. No AI chatbots routing you through phone trees. No "tier 1 support" reading from a script. The same humans who built BarQ answer your emails, and most replies land within hours.
New seasonal menu? Custom drink modifiers? A second iPad on the patio? Tell us. Edit cycles are days, not quarters. No tier upgrades to unlock features, no upsells, no quotes. If your bar needs it, we build it — and every other bar gets it too.
The deal is simple — you pour drinks, we keep the tech out of your way. Forever.
