Make Your Regulars a Plan, Not a Guess.
Kava bars do not grow on one-time walk-ins. They grow on routines, regulars, community, and what is happening right now. HappyKava is the modern operating system built specifically for kava bars.
Kava isn't a promotion business.
It is a routine business. Your best guests come back because they know the vibe and trust the staff.
Morning Calm
The "First Cup" routine that starts the day.
After-Work Unwind
Predictable happy hours that drive volume.
Late-Night Energy
Vibe-driven decisions for the night crew.
Community Nights
Events people actually remember and attend.

Active Discovery
Get found by nearby guests actively deciding where to go right now.
Secure Deal Passes
Digital passes guests actually use, without the screenshot fraud.

Real tools that work during real shifts, keeping your line moving.
The Bar Portal - Your control center.
Manage everything in one place. No DMs. No reposting. Set it once, adjust anytime, and everything stays live in the app.
- Update bar profile, hours, and photos
- Publish deals and weekly specials
- Schedule recurring events

Kavatender Mode - built for real shifts.
No awkward "can you honor this screenshot?" conversations. Kavatender Mode gives staff fast, clear tools they can use behind the bar.

No special hardware required. Any smartphone works.
The New Standard for Deals
HappyKava v2 replaces promo codes and screenshots with secure, identity-linked Deal Passes.
Always Happy Hour
Guests lock in a deal while it is live and redeem later on your terms. It reduces missed-deal frustration and drives visits without forcing a rush window.
Bula Hour Pop-Ups
On-demand boosts for slow moments. Flip a switch to create urgency without planning weeks ahead.
Show how it feels right now.
Guests do not just want open. They want to know if it is their kind of night. Live Vibe Updates let staff post simple signals so guests arrive confident.
Result: Fewer pull-up-and-leave moments.
