Built for the bar

Serve more drinks in less time

On a big night, every second at the POS is a drink not poured. PowerEPOS keeps your drinks menu, mixers and specials a tap away, so staff serve faster and lift every round.

  • A drinks-first layout. Tap beer, spirits, cocktails, wine and zero-proof drinks laid out the way your bar works.
  • Doubles, mixers and ice as quick modifiers, each priced your way, so the docket matches the order.
  • Smart prompts remind staff to upsell, from a top-shelf spirit to a bar snack upgraded.
  • Food to the kitchen, drinks to the bar. Each part of an order goes to its own printer or kitchen display screen (KDS).
  • Digital receipts by SMS or email, so you can cut back on paper.

Paddy EgliVenue Manager, Public Bar, ACT

I go to show my staff how to do certain things in PowerEPOS, and they say I already figured that out myself. That's a sign the system is working well. If you've got any issues, you deal with the same people.

Oscar WrightVenue Manager, Assembly The People's Pub, ACT

I'm extremely happy with Triniteq's PowerEPOS. I was happy with it as soon as I was shown the demo. I would recommend PowerEPOS and Triniteq to other business operators. The guys in support are amazing.

Simon HammondDirector, The Pedlar and Oh No!, ACT

When we needed to update our club POS we were after a system that was easy to use and tracked stock and inventory, as well as allowing us to easily manage bar tabs and member accounts. Our Triniteq system ticks all the boxes and has loads of functionality.
