Who We Help

We help bar, nightclub, and restaurant owners across the U.S. choose the right POS system and turn it into a profit machine. Whether you’re running a high-volume nightclub, sports bar, or full-service restaurant, we specialize in SmartTab, SkyTab, Aloha, Clover, and other top hospitality platforms.

No more generic corporate support. We become your personal POS partner — we learn your menu, your flow, and your goals so your system works for you, not against you.

Pulse Approved Systems

Not every POS is right for every bar or restaurant. We help you navigate SmartTab, SkyTab, NCR Aloha, Clover, SpotOn, and more to find the system that fits your concept, volume, and growth plans.

Our team has worked inside these platforms for years, so you do not waste time on demo calls or trial-and-error setups. We cut through the noise and help you move forward with confidence.

Key POS Features

KDS Screens

Real-time KDS screens keep your kitchen in sync so tickets never get lost and food hits the window faster. Instead of juggling paper chits and shouting down the line, every order shows up clearly on bright kitchen display screens.

Modern KDS screens for restaurants and bars also give you data you can actually use: ticket times, bottlenecks, and course pacing in one place. That means fewer remakes, tighter food costs, and a smoother rush.

  • Real-time order flow from bar, handhelds, and terminals into one KDS.
  • Color-coded modifiers and coursing so the kitchen never misses special requests.
  • Less paper, fewer lost tickets, and fewer comps due to misfires.

Handhelds

The idea that staff will stare at screens instead of guests is outdated. Today’s servers and bartenders are so comfortable with tech that entering orders once on a handheld is faster and more accurate than writing on paper and re-keying them later.

Handheld POS for bars and restaurants sends orders straight to the bar and kitchen from the table, so drinks start pouring and food starts cooking right away. You get more turns, bigger checks, and fewer “I forgot to put that in” moments.

  • Take orders tableside with bar handheld POS devices staff learn in minutes.
  • Fire orders directly to the KDS and printers to eliminate double entry and errors.
  • Prompt servers with upsell and modifier suggestions to grow check averages.

Online Ordering

Online ordering is now an expectation, not a luxury. A branded, commission-free online ordering system keeps your logo, your menu, and your guest data in your hands—instead of paying 20–30% to third-party apps on every ticket.

Because online ordering is integrated with your POS, tickets drop into the line just like dine-in orders. No tablet juggling, no re-keying, and clean reporting on every off-premise dollar.

  • Commission-free online ordering that runs through your own site and brand.
  • Direct POS integration so staff never have to re-enter online orders.
  • Real-time menu sync, item 86ing, and pricing updates in one place.
Also partner-friendly with leading delivery apps:
Order delivery with Uber Eats Order delivery with DoorDash Order delivery with Grubhub
