The different dynamics of a beach venue
Midsummer, 80 loungers on the beach are occupied. Waiters walk across the sand taking orders. The bar counter is 50 metres away. Half the guests are from different countries.
Beach venues have specific needs:
- Wide area: Loungers and tables are spread across a large space — waiters walk long distances.
- Mobile staff: A fixed POS terminal isn't practical; phones or tablets are needed.
- Seasonal operation: The business is open only certain months — flexible period selection matters more than annual contracts.
- International guests: The menu needs to be available in multiple languages.
Mobile ordering: phone or tablet
ASCOM POS works in any modern browser. Waiters take orders, send them and close bills from a phone or tablet.
When taking orders at a lounger, the waiter adds items and sends — items reach the bar or kitchen instantly. When ready the waiter gets a push notification.
Being web-based means no installation — just open the browser and log in.
QR menu: self-service from the lounger
A QR code placed next to each lounger or table lets guests browse the menu on their phone.
If QR ordering is enabled, guests can order without waiting for the waiter — this shortens service time across wide areas. The order goes to the bar or kitchen station automatically.
The QR menu works in 11 languages; guests select their preference.
Monthly pricing and seasonal flexibility
ASCOM POS uses per-user monthly pricing. You can choose a period of 1 to 12 months — no annual contract required.
For seasonal businesses this flexibility matters: you pay only for the months you are open.
The number of tables does not affect the price — whether 10 or 100 loungers.

Multilingual menu
ASCOM POS interface and QR menu work in 11 languages. AI-powered menu translation converts product names automatically into the target language.
Staff work in their own language; guests see the menu in theirs. One waiter can use Turkish while another uses English simultaneously.
