DrinkLync for rooftops

The view is the product.
The line was the problem.

People come to a rooftop for golden hour, not to queue past it. DrinkLync keeps customers in their seats, ordering rounds — while your bar works a clean, sequenced queue.

Where this room leaks money

You know these nights.

Failure 01

The sunset rush

Everyone arrives for the same 90 minutes. The line eats your peak, and the customers who leave it thirsty don't come back up.

Failure 02

Short season, every night counts

A rooftop earns its year in a handful of months. A slow Friday isn't one bad night — it's a percentage of the season.

Failure 03

Small bar, big footprint

One well serving a whole roof means runners, confusion, and drinks dying in the sun waiting for their owner.

Where it runs

Use cases.

Golden hour on the roof

Customers order from the lounge chair through the sunset rush; the bar works the queue in order.

A second bar on another floor gets its own station and its own queue.

Seasonal menus

Change a price or 86 a drink and it updates on every customer's phone at once.

How DrinkLync fits this room

Built for exactly this.

Order from the lounge chair

Customers order and pay from wherever they're sitting; the app shows when it's ready. The rail stays clear and the seats stay full.

Weather-proof economics

Flat monthly, zero per-order fees — on the nights the roof is packed, every extra drink is yours.

A second station in minutes

When the season peaks, add a station ($299/mo, no extra setup) and split the queue. When it ends, drop it.

The number

Flat pricing. No share of your sales.

DrinkLync takes no share of your sales: a flat fee, $299 a month per extra station, and Insights only if you want it. Card processing is separate — customers pay into your own Stripe account and Stripe charges you its standard card fees on those payments. See your numbers with your own inputs or read full pricing.

Asked by rooms like yours

Straight answers.

We're seasonal — does a yearly agreement make sense?
Talk to us about your calendar. Event pricing ($299 a night, 2-night minimum) also fits a short, intense run of nights, and stations can flex month to month.
Do customers need cell signal on the roof?
Customers use their own data or your Wi-Fi; staff screens tolerate brief drops and re-sync. We check connectivity during setup.
Can customers downstairs order to the rooftop?
Customers pick the floor and bar they're ordering from, so orders route to the right well every time — no cross-floor confusion.
What do you need from me to get started?
Email + name (you), venue name + city + state, your ABC license number if you have one, and a rough estimate of peak-night order volume. From there we send you a magic link to finish onboarding at your pace.
Is there an iPad/POS we need to buy?
No POS to buy. Each station is two iPads: one for the bartender and one for the gatekeeper at the pickup point, and the staff app is built for iPad. Use iPads you already own and pair them by scanning a QR from your setup screen, or tell us how many you need on the hardware step and we ship them pre-configured and locked to DrinkLync. The manager dashboard runs in any browser.
