The commercial-break surge
A hundred orders in five minutes stack in sequence; bartenders pour through the spike instead of triaging a mob.
DrinkLync for sports bars
Halftime hits.
Your bar doesn't blink.
Sports bars don't have a busy night — they have twenty brutal minutes, ten times a night. DrinkLync absorbs the commercial-break surge so the next round arrives before the next possession.
Where this room leaks money
You know these nights.
Failure 01
The commercial-break stampede
Every timeout sends half the room to the bar at once. Ten minutes later it's empty. Staffing for the spike means overpaying for the lull.
Failure 02
Nobody wants to miss the play
Guests won't leave their seat during the game — so they under-order, nurse drinks, and your per-head spend dies.
Failure 03
Table service that can't keep up
Servers can't cover forty tables during a surge. Orders get missed, drinks arrive flat, tips suffer.
Where it runs
Use cases.
Table orders during the play
Guests order the next round without leaving the game, and get a ping when it is ready.
Game-night specials
Feature a game-day drink at the top of the menu for the night, then take it down after the final whistle.
How DrinkLync fits this room
Built for exactly this.
Order without leaving the seat
The next round happens from the table, during the action. Guests order more when ordering costs them nothing.
The queue absorbs the spike
A hundred orders in five minutes just stack in sequence. Bartenders pour through the surge instead of triaging a mob.
Know your game-night math
Throughput by hour shows you exactly what a Titans Sunday does versus a Tuesday — and Insights tells you how to staff both.

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.
Does it replace my servers?
No — it absorbs the surge they can't. Tables that would've flagged nobody down just order; your servers run food and hospitality.
Can guests order food too?
DrinkLync is built for the bar. Many venues run it for drinks alongside their existing food flow — drinks are where the line forms.
What does game day cost me?
The same as a quiet Tuesday: $699/month flat, zero per-order fees. The surge is pure upside.
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.
