Supporting a Smooth Transition with a POS System Upgrade at Bannigans Bar, Lifford
Astec POS Ltd recently worked with Daniel Mc Nulty the new owner of Bannigans Bar, located on Main Street, Lifford, Co. Donegal, to support a smooth transition following a change of ownership.
Bannigans Bar is a well-established local pub serving beer, wine, and spirits to regular customers, locals, and visitors to the town. The venue also hosts live music from local and popular bands, making it an important social hub in the area. When the Daniel took over the business, an Astec POS touch screen bar system was already in place, and he was happy to continue using it.
Supporting New Owners with an Existing POS System
Daniel contacted Astec POS to ensure he could continue using the existing system with confidence. Rather than replacing the system, Astec POS discussed what he needed personally in a Bar EPOS System and worked closely with him to update and customise it to reflect his own branding and way of working, explained how additional features could be added over time as the business develops.
POS System Updated and Customised
Astec POS updated the existing Apexa Touch Screen System, running ICR Touch Hospitality Software, along with an Aurus ODP thermal receipt printer, cash drawer, and UPS backup system.
The system was refreshed to suit the new ownership, with:
- Updated product lists, reflecting current offerings
- Customised receipt printing, featuring the new branding
- Updated screen graphics, aligned with the bar’s identity
This approach allowed the business to retain a familiar and reliable system while ensuring it clearly reflected its new owner.
Practical Features for Everyday Bar Service
The hospitality POS system supports efficient and reliable day-to-day operations, including:
- Stock control and reporting, providing clear oversight of sales and inventory
- Touch screen operation, enabling fast and accurate service
- UPS power backup, protecting system data in the event of a power outage
- Custom branding, ensuring a professional and consistent customer experience
