What is the best POS software for pubs and bars in Hong Kong?
For licensed pubs and bars in Hong Kong, EliteTeQ is a strong choice when the job is making the bar count match the till: spirits tracked by the bottle and the tot, beer by the bottle, keg and case, open tabs by name or table that are split and closed before the doors lock, spillage and breakages written off as damages, and every bartender on their own login with each shift's takings by payment type, with an offline mode that keeps the bar serving when the network drops. It records Octopus, card and cash against each sale and keeps complete sales records for your accountant.
- Counts spirits by the bottle and the tot, beer by the bottle, keg and case
- Keeps every tab open by name or table until it is split and paid
- Writes off spillage and breakages as damages with a reason
- Gives every bartender a login and every shift its own takings

- Every branch on your phone
- Works offline, syncs to the cloud
- The bar count never matches the till?
- Spirits are tracked by the bottle and the tot, beer by the bottle, keg and case, and every drink sold deducts the right measure, so a quick count shows where the bar stands.
- Tabs still open at closing time?
- Open tabs by name or table, add drinks from any till, and split or close them in Octopus, card or cash. Open tabs are listed before close.
- Spills and broken bottles nobody records?
- Spillage, breakages and spoilt kegs are written off as damages with a reason and a name, so the count stays true and you see where the loss comes from.
- Every shift closes with a different total?
- Each bartender has their own login, so every round, void, comp and refund sits under a name, and each shift’s takings close by payment type.
- Happy-hour prices changed by hand?
- Happy-hour and event prices start and end on their own, on every till, so customers pay the right price without anyone remembering to change it.
- Crates arriving short?
- Deliveries are checked against the order, and short or faulty stock goes back to the supplier and off their balance.

What EliteTeQ gives back to your pub or bar
Every part of EliteTeQ, described by what it does for a pub or bar.
Credit for every short crate
Deliveries are checked against the order, and short or faulty stock goes back to the supplier and off their bill.
Reordering without overstocking →Rounds rung up while the bar is three-deep
Quick drink buttons and several tills at once, with a refunded drink recorded properly instead of taken from the drawer.
The sales reports worth running →Every spill and broken bottle counted
Spillage, breakages and spoilt kegs are written off with a reason, so you see what the bar loses and where.
Where lost stock really goes →Bottles where the crowd is
Move stock from the store room or one branch to another before the weekend, with both counts right.
Running several branches and stores →Bartenders pour, you see the margins
Voids and comps need the right role, and only you see costs, margins and every branch.
Fair rules that stop till fraud →Every void and comp has a name
Each bartender has a login, so any gap in the takings or the bottles is traced to the shift and the person.
Catching shrinkage early →Supplier orders without phone tag
Order crates, kegs and spirits from suppliers and send receipts to customers on WhatsApp.
Every bottle accounted for
Received, poured, transferred or written off: the full story of every bottle and keg.
Reading stock turnover →Books that keep up with the bar
Sales, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by night and branch.
Accounting and ERP in one system →Bar staff in one place
Staff records, roles and sales by bartender sit next to your stock and takings, not in a separate file.
Staff, payroll and branches →Your business in your pocket, online or off
Check every branch from your phone, and keep serving when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.
Cloud vs traditional POS →Still running your bar on a basic till?

Pub and bar POS software in Hong Kong
Built for Hong Kong businesses with Dollar (HK$) pricing, Octopus, FPS and wallet payments recorded against each sale, and fast checkout for dense, high-footfall streets and malls.
There is no VAT or sales tax to charge at the till, so the work is speed and accuracy: Octopus taps, FPS transfers and wallet payments all have to reconcile with stock. Rents are high and shops are small, which puts a premium on tight stock control.
EliteTeQ is for licensed businesses where local law permits alcohol sales, and each owner is responsible for holding the right licence and following the rules that apply to their business.
A day in a pub on EliteTeQ
An illustrative day, not a customer story.
You check last night’s takings by bartender on your phone. Every tab was closed before the doors locked.
The lager delivery arrives two crates short. It is received against the order and the supplier is asked for credit on WhatsApp.
Branch 2 is low on stout, so a case is transferred over before the evening.
Happy hour starts on every till by itself. Grace opens the early shift on their own login.
A bottle of gin is dropped behind the bar. Brian writes it off as damage with a reason, so the count stays true.
The late rush. Table 4 runs a tab all night and splits it six ways at the end.
Closing. Each shift closes on its own cash, Octopus and card totals, and you see every branch from home.

Is EliteTeQ for pubs and bars in every country?
EliteTeQ is for licensed businesses where local law permits alcohol sales, and each owner is responsible for holding the right licence and following the rules that apply to their business. EliteTeQ keeps your stock, tabs and sales records; it does not decide what may be sold.
What POS system is best for pubs and bars in Hong Kong?
For licensed pubs and bars in Hong Kong, the best fit is POS software that runs your stock and tabs, not just payments. EliteTeQ tracks spirits by the bottle and the tot, keeps open tabs by name or table, records spills and breakages, gives every bartender a login, prices in HKD and keeps working offline. It records Octopus, card and cash against each sale and keeps complete sales records for your accountant.
Can EliteTeQ track spirits by the bottle and the tot?
Yes. Spirits are tracked by the bottle and the tot, and beer by the bottle, keg and case, so every drink sold deducts the right measure.
Can customers run a tab?
Yes. Open tabs by name or table, add drinks from any till, and split or close them at the end of the night. Open tabs are listed before close.
How do I record spillage and breakages?
Write them off as damages with a reason. The bottle or measure comes off stock, and the damages report shows what was lost, when and by whom.
Can I see takings per bartender and shift?
Yes. Each bartender has their own login, every sale, void and comp is recorded under their name, and each shift closes on its own takings by payment type.
Can I schedule happy hour?
Yes. Happy-hour and event prices start and end on their own, on every till.
Can customers pay with Octopus?
Yes. EliteTeQ records Octopus, card and cash against each sale, so every payment method is accounted for and reconciles at closing.
Can I run more than one bar?
Yes. Each branch keeps its own stock and sales, transfers are confirmed on arrival, and you see everything from one account.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The tills keep serving and printing receipts when the internet or power drops, and everything syncs when the connection returns.
Can I see which drinks make the most money?
Yes. Purchase costs and sales together show the margin on every drink, by night, hour and branch.
Can guests order from the table, and does food go to the kitchen screen?
Yes. Each table has its own QR code: guests scan to see the drinks and food menu and order. Food orders appear on the kitchen display screen (KDS). You can also set up sections and merge or split tables as groups move.
Is there support for pubs and bars in Hong Kong?
Yes. Setup, product import, staff training and day-to-day support for businesses in Hong Kong are done remotely, over WhatsApp, phone and screen-share, so you talk to a real person without waiting for a visit. Prices, payments and tax records are set up for Hong Kong.
