We measure coverage
We walk the terrace measuring the signal and decide how many antennas are needed and where. Free in the south.
POS FOR BEACH BARS AND TERRACES · TENERIFE
Orders from the sand and payment at the table, even if the line drops.
OK Computer installs the POS for beach bars, beach kiosks, pool bars and venues with large terraces in Tenerife. The network comes first: an outdoor Wi-Fi just for the handhelds, reaching the furthest table. Then Glop with the menu ready on the handheld, a card terminal that switches to 4G if the Wi-Fi drops and a UPS in case the power goes. VeriFactu (Spain's verifiable invoicing system) and IGIC (the Canary Islands sales tax) are set up from day one.

POS software, payment providers and terrace networks installed by OK Computer
Which POS does OK Computer install in a beach bar or a bar with a big terrace?
In a beach bar or a bar with a large terrace in Tenerife, OK Computer installs Glop with waiter handhelds and an outdoor Wi-Fi network designed for them. The waiter takes the order beside the table or the sunbed, it prints at the bar and in the kitchen, and the bill is paid on the spot with a handheld card terminal. For a beach club with several bars, or for anyone running more than one venue, OK Computer suggests BDP.
On the beach the software is rarely the problem; the setting is. Tables are far from the bar, there are walls, parasols and people in between, and the internet provider's router was never meant to cover a whole terrace. So the visit beforehand is used to measure the signal table by table and position the antennas; screens are chosen afterwards.
The rest is speed: a short menu on the handheld, drinks at a tap, payment at the table and a one-minute cash-up when you finally pack away. OK Computer prepares it at its shop in Armeñime (Adeje) and installs it in half a day, ideally before the busy season starts.
WHAT IT INCLUDES
What equipment does a beach bar POS include?
The base is the same as any bar; on top of that comes what you need to serve forty metres from the counter and keep taking payments if the connection fails.
Handhelds for the terrace
The order is taken beside the customer and goes straight to the bar and kitchen. No more trips with a notepad.
Dedicated outdoor Wi-Fi
Professional antennas placed after measuring: one network only for the handhelds and another, isolated, for customers.
Handheld card terminal with 4G
The Dojo Go takes the amount Glop sends it; when the Wi-Fi doesn't respond, it charges over the 4G mobile network.
QR to pay from a phone
With Glop Pay the bill carries a QR code; whoever is at the table scans it and pays by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Bizum whenever they like.
UPS for power cuts
The POS and printer stay on for one to two hours without power, enough to settle the open tables.
Cash under control
With seasonal staff, an automatic cash drawer counts what comes in and goes out and the cash-up balances without arguments.
NETWORK FIRST
Why do handhelds drop out on a large terrace?
Because they use a Wi-Fi that wasn't designed for them. OK Computer splits the venue's network in three: POS and printers on cable, an exclusive Wi-Fi for the handhelds with antennas covering the whole terrace, and a guest network for customers that can't see the payment system.
- Coverage measured table by table during the visit
- As the waiter moves around, the handheld hops from antenna to antenna and the order isn't lost
- If the internet goes down, the internal network keeps the POS, handhelds and printers connected
- Only the card terminal needs to reach the internet, and the Dojo Go has 4G

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about the POS for a beach bar or terrace in Tenerife
Can the beach bar keep taking payments without internet?
Yes. The POS, handhelds and printers work inside the venue's network, so orders keep coming in and tickets keep printing. For cards, the Dojo Go switches to 4G by itself. Pending VeriFactu records are sent when the connection returns.
How many Wi-Fi access points does my terrace need?
It depends on the size, the walls and the shape, which is why it is measured on the visit. As a guide, two are enough for an ordinary bar terrace; a large venue needs three or four.
What if the power goes in the middle of service?
OK Computer installs a UPS with every POS: the equipment and printer last between one and two hours, time to settle what's pending and close the till properly.
How do customers pay at the table without going back to the bar?
In two ways: the waiter carries a handheld card terminal to which Glop sends that table's total, or the bill is printed with a Glop Pay QR code and the customer pays with their own phone. We set up whichever suits the way you serve.
I only open in season: which maintenance plan suits me?
There are five, from paying per call-out up to Gold. If most of your takings come on Saturdays and Sundays, a plan with weekend cover makes sense; we spell it out in the quote.
Does a beach bar POS have to comply with VeriFactu?
Yes: any business that issues its tickets with invoicing software falls under VeriFactu. Glop and BDP have an adapted version and we leave it with IGIC configured. On 5 October 2026 Hacienda announced that VeriFactu will be postponed to October 2028; until that change is published in the BOE (the official gazette), the rule in force keeps 1 January 2027 for companies and 1 July 2027 for autónomos (the self-employed).
Do you install in beach bars all over the island?
Yes. Most are in Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos, close to our shop in Armeñime, but we go anywhere in Tenerife. Call-out fee: €10 in Adeje, €20 in the nearby southern municipalities and €40 elsewhere, IGIC included.
