Volio
The menu board
Any TV with a small Android TV box shows the menu. Its prices and happy hours follow the menu and the hours you set.
A bar ordering system for the second round
Volio is a bar ordering system for bars, pubs, cocktail bars, clubs and hotel bars. Tables, booths and stools order their rounds from their own code, each guest pays their own part, and the bar works one ticket per table. The bar's three deep. Your booths aren't in it.
Volio for bars and clubs
Saturday, 01:00, three deep at the bar
A bar loses its second round at the bar itself. The table that would have gone again looks at the crush, does the maths on the wait and calls it a night.
- 22:00
First round from table 9
Six friends, four phones, one order for table 9. Each adds their own drink, with the mixer they want.
- 23:00
Happy hour ends
Happy hour ends and every phone and menu board follows. You set the hours once, and nobody rings up the old price at five past.
- 01:00
The bar is three deep
At 1 am the bar is three deep. Booth 4 orders without joining it. A bottle and four mixers go from its code to the bar's screen, headed booth 4.
- 02:00
Nobody asks for the bill
Each guest pays their part as they go. The floor shows the tabs still open, and the booth leaves when it's ready.
How a round travels
From the booth to the bar and back, with no trip to order and no trip to pay.
Step 1
The table scans its code
One code per table, booth or stool. The menu opens in the browser, in the guest's own language, and nobody downloads anything.
Step 2
Each guest picks a drink and how they take it
Options sit on the drink: a size, a mixer, an extra. Several phones add to the same order, and the next round is a few taps on the same code.
Step 3
The bar has its own screen
Name the bar as a kitchen place and the drinks go to its screen, the food to the kitchen's. Each ticket is headed by its table or booth and carries a timer.
Step 4
Each guest pays their own part
Apple Pay, Google Pay or card, with the tip added before paying. The floor shows what's paid and what's left on every table and booth.
Behind the bar
Happy hours and codes
A happy hour at set hours, a points card and codes for your messages, with the sales each one brought.
Booths booked ahead
Tables and booths booked from your page, with a deposit.
Orders at the bar
For the guest who walks up, the POS takes the order in a few taps, paid by cash or card terminal.
Waiter mode
The room as tiles on a staff phone, for the booth that orders from a person.
Sold out
The keg's empty. One tap and it's off every phone.
When a bar doesn't need it
Everyone orders at the bar, and likes it
Then run the POS and the QR menu, and leave table ordering off. The code still shows the menu in the guest's language.

Questions owners ask
Something else? hello@usevolio.com
Does it work in a club?
Yes. Booths, tables and stools are numbered places, each with its own code. Rounds go to the bar's screen, each guest pays their part, and tables and booths can be booked from your page with a deposit.
Can a group split the tab?
Yes. Each guest pays their own part on their own phone and adds a tip before paying. The floor shows what's paid and what's left on the table.
Can a table keep ordering rounds?
Yes. Several phones order together at one table, and anyone can add another round later from the same code.
How does happy hour work?
You set the hours once. Prices on the guests' phones and on the menu boards follow them. Happy hours come with the Essential plan.
Does the bar need its own screen?
Any tablet with a browser will do, and there's no hardware to buy. With kitchen places, drinks go to the bar's screen and food to the kitchen's. Sending to more than one place comes with the Essential plan.
Can people still order at the bar?
Yes. The POS takes an order at the bar in a few taps, paid by cash, card terminal or the guest's phone.
Can Volio be a pub's till or EPOS?
Yes. Its POS takes orders at the bar and the tables on a tablet you own, paid by cash, card terminal or the guest's phone. Or keep your pub's EPOS: Volio works beside it, with a list of what phones paid today to enter on it.
Where does the money go?
To your own account with the payment provider, then to your bank. Volio takes a small fee on a bill paid by phone. Guests see it before they pay, or you switch to covering it. Nothing when a guest pays cash or the waiter.
Do guests need an app?
No. The code opens the menu in the phone's browser.
