your bar, your numbers
Don't take our word for it.

Your bar: 3 bartenders · 2 busy nights · $12 drinks. At a +12% lift, DrinkLync adds 5.0 drinks/hr → $14,718 more gross profit a year.

Where the +12% comes from
No flag-downs
Guests order from their phone, so bartenders stop scanning the rail for raised hands and just pour the next ticket.
No tab friction
Pay-as-you-go means no opening, holding or closing tabs, the slowest part of every round disappears.
Faster reorders
One tap to repeat the last round. Returning guests re-order in seconds instead of waiting to be noticed again.
We assume a deliberately modest +12%. The math only needs +7.2% to fully pay for itself, so even if you believe far less than the default, it still comes out ahead. Drag the lift down to test it.

Flat fee. We never take a cut of a drink. Delivery apps take 15–30% of every order. DrinkLync takes nothing.
What this means for you
Break-even at just 7.2%
That's the throughput lift where this fully pays for itself, below the modest +12% assumed here. Drag the lift to whatever you believe; it stays in the black.
~1 more drink every 36 min
That's all each bartender needs to clear to hit it, about 1.7 more drinks an hour, same shift.
Paid back in 5 busy nights
Cover the monthly bill early in the month, the rest of every month is upside.
$18,491 over 3 years
Net of everything you'd pay DrinkLync, a 1.7× return on spend.
$5,107/yr kept on fees
On ~$14,676/mo of in-app volume, that's what processors would skim elsewhere. DrinkLync takes 0%.
