A practical POS system for bars

Connect the parts of service you can verify.

Lazygrid brings proven POS, payment, printing and reporting capabilities into one venue setup. For teams comparing a pub POS system, the exact service workflow is mapped during onboarding rather than assumed by a generic feature list.

  1. 01

    Fast, familiar order entry

    Run the bar point of sale system on iPad or iPhone, organise products into clear categories, and add the modifiers your team actually uses.

  2. 02

    Payments connected to the order

    Send the exact order total to a supported integrated EFTPOS terminal so staff do not have to key the amount twice.

  3. 03

    Drinks and food sent to the right station

    Use category-group printer routing so drink dockets can reach the bar while food goes to the kitchen.

  4. 04

    One view of trading activity

    Review sales and popular items in the same reporting system, with supported online orders feeding the wider operation.

Customer Accounts

Let trusted customers buy now and settle later.

For approved regulars, local clubs and business customers, Lazygrid Customer Accounts add a controlled house-account workflow to the POS. It is separate from an open bar tab or card pre-authorisation.

Discuss Customer Accounts

Control

Approve the account

Authorised team members can activate or suspend a Customer Account and set the customer’s credit limit.

Checkout

Charge available credit

Eligible staff can place a completed order on the active account, with available credit checked before the charge is confirmed.

Balance

Track what is owing

See outstanding and available credit, record repayments, and reverse an original Customer Account charge when a refund is needed.

Hardware & EFTPOS

Build around the room, not a proprietary till.

Use compatible Apple devices at the counter or around the venue, then connect the payment and printing equipment your service needs.

POS devices
iPad with iPadOS 17+, iPhone with iOS 17+, or an M1-or-newer iMac.
Counter EFTPOS
Windcave, EFTPOS NZ on compatible Verifone terminals, and Shift4.
Printing
LAN/Ethernet receipt printers using ESC/POS, including category-group routing.

Onboarding, training & support

Prepare the full service path before opening time.

Remote setup assistance is included with every plan. We help turn the venue plan into a tested setup, while your team keeps control of how service should run.

  1. 01

    Plan the venue

    Confirm counter locations, Apple devices, receipt and production printers, network coverage and EFTPOS provider.

  2. 02

    Build the working menu

    Set up products, prices, categories and modifiers, then map category groups to the required printer destinations.

  3. 03

    Test before service

    Check ordering, printing, payment and reporting with your team. Remote setup assistance is included with every plan.

Need venue-specific staff training?

Video tutorials and remote setup assistance are available. Tell our Wellington team about shift patterns, devices and staff needs so any additional rollout support can be agreed before launch.

Questions from NZ venues

Bar and pub POS FAQ.

Can Lazygrid keep an order open while guests add another round?

Yes. Staff can hold an open order, add drinks or food as service continues, and take payment when the guest is ready. This is an order workflow; it does not rely on card pre-authorisation.

Can groups split a payment?

Yes. Lazygrid supports partial and split-payment workflows so a group can settle one order across more than one payment.

Can approved customers buy now and pay later?

Yes. Customer Account can be enabled for the store. An authorised team member activates the customer account and sets a credit limit; checkout can then charge an order against the available credit, with the outstanding balance repaid later. This is controlled house credit, not a card-preauthorised bar tab.

How much does a bar POS system cost in New Zealand?

Lazygrid software plans are NZ$24 per month for Lite, NZ$59 per month for Standard and NZ$149 per month for Premium. Your total setup cost also depends on the Apple devices, printers and EFTPOS equipment you need. Payment-provider processing fees and any separately quoted hardware are additional.

Which hardware can a bar or pub use with Lazygrid?

Lazygrid runs on a compatible iPad or iPhone, and on an Apple silicon iMac. For printing, it supports LAN-connected receipt printers that use ESC/POS. You can bring compatible equipment or ask us to plan a complete hardware package for your venue.

Which EFTPOS providers integrate with Lazygrid?

Lazygrid supports integrated counter-payment setups with Windcave, EFTPOS NZ using compatible Verifone terminals, and Shift4. A Stripe WisePad 3 is also available as a separate portable-reader option for compatible iPad and iPhone setups. We confirm the exact provider, terminal and connection before installation.

What onboarding and staff training are available?

Remote setup assistance is included with every plan, alongside video tutorials. We can help check devices, structure the menu, confirm printer routing and test the payment workflow. Tell us your staff-training needs when you enquire so the rollout can be scoped for your venue.

What support is available after setup?

Support is included with every plan from a Wellington-based team. Urgent operational issues are prioritised, including weekends and public holidays, and non-urgent enquiries receive an initial response within 1 business day. Premium requests are handled at the highest priority. These are initial response times, not guaranteed resolution times. Use the contact page for sales, setup and technical-support questions.

What can I see in bar and pub reporting?

Lazygrid keeps sales and popular-item reporting in the same system, and counter and supported online orders can feed the same reporting view. Bring your must-have report list to the demo so the team can confirm the exact fit.

Will card payments keep working without internet?

Plan for a stable internet connection. Cloud sync and online ordering need connectivity, and EFTPOS behaviour depends on the selected provider and terminal configuration. We do not describe Lazygrid as an offline-payment system; confirm your connectivity and fallback requirements with us before choosing hardware.
