This guide is for agents quoting hardware for a bar, taproom, brewery tasting room, wine bar, lounge or club: drinks poured at a bar top, tabs opened and closed, tips on every round, and sometimes a small kitchen. For the full catalogue of devices and the rules behind every quote, see Stackably hardware options and bundles (Sunmi).

Upsell for either build: a second well station to match (P3 MIX or T3), and a P3H for a server or a patio. Offer; do not add by default.

A bar with no kitchen and one well needs no network. The terminal prints receipts and tab slips itself, and a second printer beside the station on USB (a slip printer at the well, say) still needs no network. Two things change that:

Once the network is on the quote, one fee covers every printer and screen at the location.

Most bar tops are higher than a standard counter and the bartender stands behind a lower back bar. The CPad Pay docks to the back of the T3 at the station's height; if the station sits on the back bar, the customer cannot reach it. For a raised bar top, quote the 10.1" CFD + P2 SmartPad. The CFD attaches to the station for the customer-facing dual-pricing display; the SmartPad is a separate reader that sits on the bar top where the customer taps or inserts. Same software, same display, lower cost. The CPad Pay is the right pick only when the station itself sits at bar-top height facing the customer.

Swivel cradle. Ships with every P3 MIX. Turn it to the customer to close a tab and tip.

6.7" CFD. P3 MIX only. A fixed customer screen on the bar top. Additional charge.

Cash drawer. Sunmi MAX or the third-party drawer we resell (confirm model with the Stackably team). The Mini is no longer offered. P3 MIX, T3, D3 Pro.

Network printer. By USB beside the station for slips, no network. On our network for a service bar or kitchen out of USB reach; then Ubiquiti and the 5G backup go on the quote.

Scanner. Only for bars that sell packaged goods (bottle shop, merch). Handheld with base.

P3H. For a server working a patio or floor on the bar Wi-Fi, or a door cover charge. SIM only if it leaves the Wi-Fi.

"They run tabs all night." Software, not hardware. Open, add to and close tabs on any device.

"Two bartenders, one well, both ringing." Two P3 MIX units side by side, or one T3 plus a P3 MIX. No network needed; each prints its own slips.

"Two wells at opposite ends of the bar." A station at each. If drinks ordered at one need to print at the other, that printer is out of USB reach of the ordering station and runs on our network, which brings Ubiquiti; otherwise each well stands alone.

"Servers take drink orders on the floor and the bartender makes them." A P3H per server on the Wi-Fi plus a printer at the well. The printer is out of reach of the P3Hs, so it is a network printer: Ubiquiti and 5G backup go on the quote.

"They have a kitchen." Network printer or KDS in the kitchen, Ubiquiti, 5G backup. Follow the pizza and quick-service guide for the kitchen side.

"The bar top is high and the register is on the back bar." T3 with CFD + SmartPad so the reader sits on the bar top. Or a P3 MIX swivelled to the customer.

"They want the customer to see the dual-pricing display." Both the CPad Pay and the CFD + SmartPad show it. On the P3 MIX, add the 6.7" CFD.

"They have a patio." A P3H on the bar Wi-Fi, as long as the Wi-Fi reaches. If the patio is out of range, the P3H needs a SIM card ($20 per month).

"They want a D3 Pro." Fine. Add a network printer by USB beside it for receipts and slips; no network needed for that. If a service-bar or kitchen printer is also on the quote, the network is there anyway.

"They want to skip the 5G backup." Their call, but a Friday-night outage with no backup stops every terminal until the internet returns.

"It's a bottle shop with a bar." Add the handheld scanner and, if they price-tag bottles, the label printer by USB. Still no Ubiquiti unless a printer goes out of USB reach.

"They want table service with a seating chart." Not a fit. Servers can carry a P3H and ring orders as counter orders, but there is no table map or seat-based ordering.

Which terminal? P3 MIX on the swivel cradle for a small bar; T3 for a large bar or long menu.

Network? Only if a printer or KDS sits somewhere a USB cable from the station cannot reach: a service bar across the room or a kitchen.

Raised bar top? CFD + P2 SmartPad so the reader reaches the customer.

Tips? Swivel the P3 MIX, or the customer-facing device on the T3.

Second well? Match the first: another P3 MIX or T3. Upsell only.

5G backup? Only when Ubiquiti is on the quote.
