How do top bar operators run high-volume venues with zero leakage?
Calisto Pro locks pour tracking, high-speed folios, VIP tables, and inventory into real-time sync, leaving guests with exceptional service and competitors wondering how you pull it off.
One operating system for high-volume nightlife
Calisto Pro is the software that runs a bar: your whole bar in one place, shared with the rail, the floor, the door and the kitchen, backed up, and open from anywhere.
Folios
One swipe opens the folio. It follows the party to the booth, survives the shift change and splits at close.
Specs & Pour Cost
Every cocktail a spec, costed from the bottle price you paid, and repriced when the distributor's price moves.
Prices on the Clock
Happy hour ends at seven on every screen, and a blown keg goes dark everywhere at once.
The Count
Bottles by weight, kegs by yield, and par levels that write the distributor's order.
Poured vs Sold
The gap between what left the bottle and what rang, by bottle, by shift and by bartender.
The Floor
The bar, its stools, the highboys and the booths along the back, drawn to scale, with each zone's covers.
Tables & the Door
Booths booked with a spend minimum and a deposit, bottle service as one package, and a guest list the door works from.
Ticketed Nights
The DJ night sold and scanned at the door, closed against the artist's fee and the bar's spend.
The Close
Your processor at your rates, the drawer counted blind, and the tip pool split by your rule.
Client Communication
The DM, the call and the email land on the same client, and the phone booking lands in the same book.
The Team
The schedule built from what the bar pours by hour, a Hub for the bar and the floor, and the record before the inspector asks.
Regulars & Reviews
The review asked for while the night is still good, and promotion aimed at what each client drinks.
Every Bar
One spec in every bar you run, and your client list on your own domain.
Calisto Dine + Payments
One swipe opens the tab. It follows the party all night.
Calisto Dine opens the tab on a pre-authorization, against the guest's own record. The tab belongs to the bar, not the bartender: it moves to a booth, survives the shift change and splits at close.

Calisto Dine + Pulse
19% pour cost became 24%. You saw it the day it moved.
In Calisto Dine every cocktail is a spec, each line costed from the bottle price you actually paid. When a distributor's price moves, Calisto Pulse recalculates every drink that uses the bottle, the same day.

Calisto Pulse + Display
Happy hour ends at 7:00. The 7:04 round pays full.
Calisto Pulse puts every price on the clock: happy hour, late night, game day. Calisto Display runs the board behind the bar, and one sold-out switch reaches the register, the QR menu and your site.

Calisto Inventory
Bottles by weight. Kegs by yield. Par writes the order.
Calisto Inventory counts the bar the way it pours: spirits by weight, kegs by yield, wine by the glass against what was opened. What falls below Friday's par drafts the order, split by distributor.

One record behind the folio. The data stays yours.
Take payment the way your clients already pay, keep every client record on your own domain, and know what every pour costs while the night is still running. When a folio is disputed, a comp is questioned or a door incident comes back weeks later, the record already says who, when and how much.

Calisto Dine
Bar, stools, highboys, and the booths along the back.

Covers by zone
Calisto Dine
The booth has a minimum. The door has the list.
Calisto Dine books the booth with its spend minimum, deposit and your cancellation policy, and sells bottle service as one package. The door works from the guest list, and the tab opens with the minimum.

The DJ night pays for itself, or it does not. Now you know which.
Calisto Tickets sells the night on your own checkout, scans it at the door and stops selling at capacity. Ticket revenue, the bar's spend, the artist's fee and the extra staff close against one night.

Calisto Pro for Bar & Lounge
- Today, service by service: covers, large parties, the busiest half hour, walk-ins waiting, tickets on the pass and tabs due, the briefing, the routine checks and Close the Day
- Every cocktail a spec, each line costed from the bottle price you paid; batches and house syrups as sub-recipes with their own yield and cost

One platform for every beverage program
The format changes. The login does not.
Sixty millilitres of rye, eight of demerara, two dashes, a twist, a large cube. Every line resolves to a cost from the bottle price you paid, so the old fashioned on the list has a known margin.
A folio opens on a pre-authorization, not a card in a rack. It moves from the rail to table nine, survives the 10 PM handover, and splits by seat, by item or by a fixed amount at close.
Six litres of batched negroni scales from the spec, depletes its components and yields a known number of servings. Not a jug somebody made on Thursday.
The drink, the tier, the table they like and the allergy that matters sit on the client's record, not in the head of the bartender who just took a job across town.
No setup cost. Pay when you start using.
