Golden hour on the roof
Guests order from the lounge chair through the sunset rush; the bar works the queue in order.
DrinkLync for rooftops
The view is the product.
The line was the problem.
People come to a rooftop for golden hour, not to queue past it. DrinkLync keeps guests in their seats, ordering rounds — while your bar works a clean, sequenced queue.
Where this room leaks money
You know these nights.
Failure 01
The sunset rush
Everyone arrives for the same 90 minutes. The line eats your peak, and the guests who leave it thirsty don't come back up.
Failure 02
Short season, every night counts
A rooftop earns its year in a handful of months. A slow Friday isn't one bad night — it's a percentage of the season.
Failure 03
Small bar, big footprint
One well serving a whole roof means runners, confusion, and drinks dying in the sun waiting for their owner.
Where it runs
Use cases.
The indoor lounge below
A second bar on another floor gets its own station and its own queue.
Seasonal menus
Change a price or 86 a drink and it updates on every guest's phone at once.
How DrinkLync fits this room
Built for exactly this.
Order from the lounge chair
Guests order and pay from wherever they're sitting; their phone buzzes when it's ready. The rail stays clear and the seats stay full.
Weather-proof economics
Flat monthly, zero per-order fees — on the nights the roof is packed, every extra drink is yours.
A second station in minutes
When the season peaks, add a station ($199/mo + $199 setup) and split the queue. When it ends, drop it.

The number
Flat pricing. No share of your sales.
DrinkLync takes no share of your sales: a flat fee, $199 a month per extra station, and Insights only if you want it. Card processing is separate — guests pay into your own Stripe account and Stripe charges you its standard card fees on those payments. See your numbers with your own inputs or read full pricing.

Asked by rooms like yours
Straight answers.
We're seasonal — does a yearly agreement make sense?
Talk to us about your calendar. Event pricing ($299 a night, 2-night minimum) also fits a short, intense run of nights, and stations can flex month to month.
Do guests need cell signal on the roof?
Guests use their own data or your Wi-Fi; staff screens tolerate brief drops and re-sync. We check connectivity during setup.
Can guests downstairs order to the rooftop?
Guests pick the floor and bar they're ordering from, so orders route to the right well every time — no cross-floor confusion.
What do you need from me to get started?
Email + name (you), venue name + city + state, your ABC license number if you have one, and a rough estimate of peak-night order volume. From there we send you a magic link to finish onboarding at your pace.
Is there an iPad/POS we need to buy?
No POS to buy. Each station is one iPad, and the staff app is built for iPad. Use iPads you already own and pair them by scanning a QR from your setup screen, or tell us how many you need on the hardware step and we ship them pre-configured and locked to DrinkLync. The manager dashboard runs in any browser.
Can I export my data?
Yes. CSV export available from /manager/analytics-deep at any time. API access is not part of Core Venue; Enterprise groups can ask about it at help@drinklync.com.
