# Bar software that keeps reservations, events and shifts in order. ## Sound familiar? 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. ## What we build Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done. ### Reservations in one place Bookings from your site, social pages and phone kept in one reservation book. [Booking and scheduling systems](https://pushbuild.com/services/booking-systems.html) ### Event ticketing Tickets for trivia, music and tastings sold online, with a guest list at the door. [Booking and scheduling systems](https://pushbuild.com/services/booking-systems.html) [Stripe integration and billing](https://pushbuild.com/services/stripe-integration.html) ### Private event enquiries An enquiry form for private hire that asks the right questions and replies the same day.

We check yours first. **Can staff use it without training?** Yes.
