Megara for bowling · Pool · Darts

The next game.
The next order.

Your guests are in the middle of a game. Your service stays close. With Megara, orders from lane tables, the pool lounge or the darts area enter the same POS workflow – taken by your team or placed on a smartphone.

Play together. Sit together. Order another round.

One venue. Plenty of favourite spots.

A family outing, an evening with friends or a club gathering: some guests bowl while others play pool or darts. Drinks, snacks and restaurant service are part of the experience. Megara connects these areas through clearly named positions and a shared product range. Your team keeps orders linked to each group, while guests choose the ordering method that suits the moment.

The right place

Dedicated assignments for lane tables, pool, darts and restaurant tables.

The right moment

QR ordering complements personal service between turns.

A shared workflow

POS, preparation and checkout work together according to your configuration.

01 · Floor plan and reservations

Your venue, right there in the POS.

Your floor plan maps the areas and places in your centre. In the POS app on the iPad, the counter team can see arrivals, times and occupancy directly on the plan. Rooms, tables and seating can be arranged in the editor to match your venue.

Assign each play area

Names such as Lane 01, Pool 01 or Darts 01 identify the destination clearly. The restaurant can retain its own set of tables alongside them.

Reflect your layout

Walls, furniture and routes help people navigate. The plan can be adjusted to match the number of lanes and the layout of your venue.

Plan reservations at the counter

The reservation module shows arrivals, time slots and occupancy. Assign bookings to the right lane tables, billiards or darts places and check available times on the floor plan or occupancy timeline.

02 · Smart Order on a smartphone

Order fries. Keep the game going.

The QR code at the table opens the mobile ordering page in the browser. Guests do not need to install an additional ordering app. They see your configured menu, choose drinks or snacks and add them to the basket. The code assigns their order to the intended table.

  1. Scan

    Open the QR code at the lane table, pool table or darts area with a smartphone.

  2. Choose

    Browse products, open their details and select the quantity.

  3. Order

    Review the basket and follow the checkout process configured for your venue.

QR ordering needs a reachable ordering page and an internet connection. Whether guests pay online or the sale is completed at the POS depends on your configuration.

03 · Drinks and snacks

A product grid for game night.

A clear selection makes ordering easier. A dedicated bowling and darts area can use its own product grid, with drinks, fries and other snacks organised using images and categories. Pool tables can share the same menu if required.

A suitable range

Show the products available to order at the play areas. The restaurant can work with a different selection.

Pictures that help guests choose

Use suitable product photos and clear names. The original smartphone captures show an example of how the range is presented.

Add details where needed

Configured product options can represent sizes, extras and surcharges. The available choices are set up for each product.

04 · Service, bar and kitchen

One order. A clear route.

QR orders complement orders taken by your team. Configured preparation routes determine where drinks and food are prepared. The bar can get the drinks ready while the kitchen handles the snacks.

From the first tap to the bill

Digital kitchen display

The digital kitchen display lets your team see incoming items and manage preparation through to marking them ready. It supports the workflow wherever it is configured.

Tickets and printers

Existing preparation printers can be included in the agreed workflow. Together, we plan which station receives which products.

Keep personal service

Guests who have questions or prefer to order from your team can still do so. QR ordering provides an additional route to the same menu.

05 · Checkout

Play together. Settle the bill your way.

A round of drinks for everyone, fries for two and a separate counter sale: clear assignment matters. At the POS, sales can be recorded against the right table and bills settled together or separately.

Organise play and refreshments

Drinks, food and configured services such as shoe hire can be recorded as products. For playing time, we agree on products, rates and the workflow you need.

Choose payment methods

Cash, connected card terminals and possible online payments are selected to suit your equipment. The smartphone view follows the configured ordering and payment process.

Automatic control of bowling lanes, scoring or dart machines is not part of the floor plan shown here. We assess any requested integration separately against the existing equipment.

06 · After the last game

See what sells. Plan what comes next.

Which drinks are ordered most often? How many snacks were sold? Sales reports help you assess your range. With configured stock relationships, stock management and stocktaking, replenishment can also follow a structured process.

Review sales

Product and category reports provide insight into your range. A suitable area structure helps assign sales to the right part of the venue.

Keep track of stock

Where stock relationships and consumption quantities are configured, sales feed into stock management. Physical counts help compare recorded and actual quantities.

Set up in stages

We start with your areas and workflows. Products, images, QR codes and preparation routes follow, along with a joint test with your team.

Questions before the first round.

Can I start with a few lanes or just darts?

Yes. The room shown is an example. Rooms, positions and product grids are configured for your business, whether it is a pool bar, a darts lounge or a venue with several activities.

Does every guest need an installed app?

For the QR ordering shown here, the ordering page opens in the smartphone browser. The page must be reachable and each QR code must be assigned to the correct position.

Does everyone have to order by smartphone?

No. QR ordering complements orders taken by staff. Your team can continue to advise guests and record orders at the POS.

Can the floor plan be adapted to my rooms?

Yes. The twelve lanes shown are not a fixed requirement. Rooms and elements are arranged in the editor and linked to the appropriate POS tables.

Your venue has a rhythm of its own.
