New Hospitality POS Installation for Hughes Bar and Lounge, Carrickmacross
Astec POS Ltd recently completed a hospitality POS system installation for Hughes Bar and Lounge, located on Main Street, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan. As a local business, we were pleased to support a fellow community establishment.
Hughes Bar and Lounge serves beer, wine, and spirits to regular customers, locals, and visitors. The venue also hosts live music from local and popular bands. With busy nights and regular events, the pub required a reliable and easy-to-use POS system to help staff serve efficiently.
Understanding the Bar’s Requirements
From the outset, Astec POS focused on understanding the bar’s day-to-day operations.
We then demonstrated how the Astec Hospitality POS system could streamline service, improve accuracy, and provide clear insight into sales and stock. In addition, we highlighted optional features that could be added as the business evolves.
POS System Installed
Astec POS supplied and installed NCR Touch Screen Systems running ICR Touch Hospitality Software, along with an Aurus receipt printer, cash drawer, and UPS backup system.
Each system was fully customised to reflect the products sold and the workflow of the bar. Custom receipt branding and screen graphics reinforced the pub’s identity.

Features Designed for Efficient Bar Service
The hospitality POS system includes practical features to support smooth daily operations:
- Stock control and reporting, helping monitor sales and inventory
- Customised receipt printing, featuring the bar’s logo
- Branded screen layouts, designed to suit staff workflows
- UPS power backup, protecting system data during power interruptions
- Touch screen operation, allowing fast and accurate service
Astec POS also provided on-site training, so staff could start using the system confidently from day one. Ongoing telephone and online support is available to help whenever needed.
