Get started

More drinks an hour.
One account to start.

Customers order and pay on their own phone, so your bartenders spend the rush pouring instead of taking orders and running cards. Create your venue account and a guided setup takes you from sign-up to your first live order in four steps.

No trial clock. We build your venue with you, and you go live as a customer when every go-live check passes.

Why bars start

What you are setting up, in numbers.

Pick your venue type. Year one in three labelled scenarios, beside everything DrinkLync costs in that year, setup included.

Run your own numbers
Worked example, not a reading from any bar

Broadway honky-tonk (Nashville), 3 bar stations, on our defaults for that venue type: 5 busy nights a week, 6 busy hours, 6 bartenders at peak, $13 a drink.

Projection, expected case $519,452 more in year one kept after pour cost and card processing, on the ramp while customers learn the app.
7 more drinks a busy night covers the whole monthly bill: $1,297 a month for Core Venue + 2 extra stations.

On these inputs the projection covers a month of DrinkLync in about 1 busy night, and even the low scenario covers the monthly bill. Projection, not a guarantee.

A projection from our published model and price list, not a measurement and not a guarantee. Card processing is your venue's own Stripe fees; DrinkLync takes 0% of sales. Every assumption and its source.

The full checklist DrinkLync runs before your bar takes a real order is on what it takes to go live.

Before you start

Straight answers.

Can we try it before we commit?
There is no trial period: when you onboard, we build your venue with you and you go live as a customer, on a yearly agreement. The way to test DrinkLync before you commit is the calculator, which projects your value from your own inputs, and ordering stays off until every required go-live check passes.
Where does sign-up happen?
On app.drinklync.com, the same place you will run your venue from. It wears this site's header and footer, and your account, password and sign-in stay on the app.
What do I need to start?
Your name and email, your venue's name and city, and a rough idea of your peak nights. Everything else, from your menu to your Stripe account, is set up step by step. All questions and answers.
Do customers pay anything to use it?
No. Customers download the app at no cost (21+) and pay your menu price plus their tip. There is no DrinkLync fee on an order.
