Built for your venue
Make the next round easier to order
Let a table browse drinks, add later rounds, call a server, request the bill, and—where supported—split an online payment equally, while staff keep table context.
Table ordering is available on Free. Online payment and equal bill splitting require Pro, Stripe onboarding, and a supported market. Age prompts do not replace staff ID checks.
Illustrative workflow · Product behaviour described on this page
Later rounds
Add drinks or food to the same active table session.
Age-restriction prompts
Flag configured items while keeping ID checks with trained staff.
Equal split where supported
Eligible dine-in bills can be divided into as many as 10 equal parts.
The operational problem
Busy tables are ready before the floor can circle back
A table-specific menu lets guests send a later round or service request when they decide, while servers remain in control of delivery and responsible service.
What changes
Running table sessions with clearer demand
Orders can stay attached to an active table session. Age-restricted items can carry prompts, but MenuBeacon does not perform automatic identity verification.

Straight answers
MenuBeacon for Bars & Pubs questions
Can guests add another round to the table?
Yes. Later rounds can be attached to the active table session.
Does MenuBeacon verify a guest’s age?
No. Items can be marked age restricted, but trained staff remain responsible for identity checks and local compliance.
Can a group split the bill by item?
No. Supported online split payment divides the dine-in bill into equal parts, up to 10.
Is this a traditional open bar-tab system?
MenuBeacon supports running table sessions and later rounds, but does not claim a separate card-preauthorized bar-tab product.
Give the table a simpler way to ask for the next round
Start with table ordering and service requests on Free, then add supported payments when ready.
