The peak-night model
8:30 · Doors stack up
Guests scan, browse, open tabs, and order without waiting for the first staff touch.
10:15 · Bar is three deep
Staff add items, voids, comps, and closeouts while guest-led tickets flow to printer or KDS.
1:52 · Last call closeout
Open checks bulk-close with tip settings, stored transactions, and recovery attempts.
Best fit: venues where every minute of friction has a number attached.

Three revenue levers, one system
Lever 01 · Guest-led ordering
Guests open their own tab. You keep pouring.
Scan or tap, live menu, order, tip, pay — in about 62 seconds. Union cites +28% check impact from guest-led ordering and +74% when paired with Union-funded rewards.
Lever 02 · Waitlist
The front door becomes revenue control.
Guests join the waitlist, open tabs by QR or NFC, order while they wait, get table-ready texts, and their check transfers when seated — no crowd at the host stand.
Lever 03 · Dual pricing
Card fees stop eating your biggest nights.
For the right venue, dual pricing can offset up to 100% of processing cost — with compliant signage, receipt language, and staff training built into the rollout. It's also what funds the hardware program.
High-volume venues get serious hardware covered.
Terminals, printers, handhelds, KDS screens, tap pucks, networking, and install labor — moved off the table for qualified venues. Dual pricing eliminates nearly all processing cost; that's what funds the hardware.
$500K+/month venues
$50K+ covered
Full approved hardware package for top-volume bars, clubs, rooftops, and venues.
$100K–$500K/month
$15K–$30K covered
Most of the approved hardware package for serious venues ready for dual pricing.
Under $100K/month? The program is built for high volume, but reach out — there may still be options.
Want real proof? Two venues. Real numbers Union published.
Florida · Ferg's Sports Bar
9,000+ tabs in one day
After adding 350 parking-lot tables — same team, no extra hardware. 10–15K tabs weekly, ~25% guest-led, 30% more service capacity with no labor hit, and Union cites $18–25K unlocked revenue per week.
“We literally increased our capacity overnight, processed over 9,000 tabs, and our existing team handled it all without breaking a sweat.” — as cited in Union's case study
Austin · Bouldin Acres
$85K rewards revenue in a year
Checks with rewards ran 33% larger. Drink delivery dropped from 5–7 minutes to under a minute, ~50% of checks run guest-led, 30% less labor — and they doubled their previous best-day sales.
“Our venue has been able to nearly double what we thought was our busiest volume nights.” — Matt Carter, Bouldin Acres, as cited by Union
Everything included. Not a single add-on.
Union-funded guest rewards
Rewards drive repeat visits without pulling from your margin — 74% more spend cited when guests use them.
Rush-proof by design
1,000+ simultaneous tabs, true offline mode, and decline recovery protect the moments weak systems lose money.
AI reporting & guest profiles
Know who's walking in, what they order, and how to bring them back — every tab builds the database.

Food, drinks, merch, tickets, and cover charges in one operating system.
