Why bars and restaurants choose Duka POS

Hospitality is fast, cash-heavy and easy to leak profit from, so owners need speed at the table and honesty at the till in equal measure. Duka POS is chosen because it delivers both without expensive equipment.

  • Faster service: quick order entry keeps the floor moving at rush hour.
  • Tight bar stock: track bottles, crates and portions in real time.
  • Honest takings: every sale is tied to a waiter or bartender.
  • Affordable: start free and scale on the plans that suit you.

The same stock discipline behind our inventory management software keeps your drink cabinet and your cash reconciled every night.

How to get started

You can set up a bar or restaurant on Duka POS quickly and start serving the same day.

  • Create your free account and set your currency and venue details.
  • Build your menu, adding food and drink items with prices.
  • Enter opening stock for bottles, crates and key ingredients.
  • Add your team, creating waiter and bartender accounts.
  • Open tabs and start serving, letting sales, stock and reports build automatically.

As you add outlets, compare the plans and manage every venue from one account. A single Android tablet or phone is enough to begin.

Control your bar and drink stock

Drink stock is easy to lose track of and easy to lose money on. Duka POS keeps a live count of bottles, crates and portions, so you can see what is selling and spot shortfalls between what you bought and what you sold. For liquor stores, the same tracking keeps your shelves and your cash reconciled.

With clear reports on your best-selling drinks and busiest hours, you can order the right stock, staff the right shifts, and cut the leakage that quietly drains bar profits.

Made for hospitality across East Africa

Whether you run a busy bar in town, a restaurant serving all day, or a liquor store in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza or Nairobi, Duka POS is affordable and easy for your team to learn. It runs on devices you may already own and gives owners clear visibility of sales and stock, even when they are not on site.

Track sales by staff member to keep takings honest, and grow from a single outlet to several locations on the same system. Always follow the licensing and regulations that apply to selling alcohol in your area. For a mixed retail-and-bar operation, the same platform runs our supermarket and mini-mart POS.

Understand your busiest hours and best sellers

Running a tighter venue comes down to knowing your numbers. Duka POS turns every tab into a report, showing your busiest hours, your best-selling dishes and drinks, and your daily takings by staff member. That means you can staff the right shifts, order the right stock, and price your menu with confidence.

Owners can see all of this from any device, even from home, so you never have to be on site to know how the night is going. Over time these reports reveal the patterns that help you cut waste, reduce leakage and grow your margins.
