Pushbuild

Bar software that keeps reservations, events and shifts in order.

Bars, pubs and cocktail lounges run on busy nights, events and private bookings. The admin sits around them: reservations in several places, event tickets sold separately, shifts swapped by text, and sales checked the next morning. We connect your point of sale, reservations and scheduling so the manager spends less time on the phone and more on the floor. The scope is written down first.

What bars and pubs tell us before a project starts.

Public business listings show 1,735 independent bars and pubs in Massachusetts, and 29% are listed with no website. Source: Pushbuild crawl of Overture Maps place listings, October 2026. Chains excluded.

  • Reservations come in by phone, Instagram and a booking app.
  • Trivia and live music tickets are sold separately from the bar tab.
  • Shift swaps happen by group text and nobody knows who is on.
  • Private event enquiries wait days for a reply.
  • We only see last night's sales the next afternoon.

Questions people ask first

Do we need new reservation software?

No. We work with what you use and connect the other places bookings come from.

Can this work with our POS?

Most bar POS systems share sales data. We check yours first.

Can staff use it without training?

Yes. Shifts and guest lists open on a phone, with nothing new to learn.
