Questions
Do we need a POS integration or special hardware?
No. HappyKava is designed to work through the portal, the consumer app, and staff phones without requiring a POS integration or dedicated hardware.
Can multiple team members manage our bar?
Yes. Owners, managers, and kavatenders can be given role-based access so the right people can update the right things.
Does HappyKava help with our website too?
Yes. The platform includes website widget and menu parity surfaces so your public website can stay closer to your live app data.
Is Passport required to use HappyKava for bars?
No. Bars can use HappyKava without Passport. Passport is an additional discovery and conversion layer, not a requirement.
Who is this built for operationally?
It is built for independent kava bars that need better discovery, stronger program execution, and cleaner staff workflows without heavyweight restaurant software.
Can a multi-location owner choose a different plan for each bar?
Yes. An owner can mix Plus, Pro, MAX, and Free by location on one portfolio billing account. Pro and MAX volume pricing is calculated separately, and each bar keeps only the features of its assigned plan.
Claim your bar. It’s free.
Get your listing right first, then turn on the tools that bring people in and keep them coming back.
