Bar screen

A shared iPad at the bar: who's on, today's checklists, announcements and the time clock. Never pay, phone numbers, emails or private messages.

What it does

Open the bar screen →
On the screen, people can

Off: tap the item, then tap the face of who did it. Clocking in and out always asks for the PIN.

Panels

The screen turns dark from closing until 5am, in the shop's time zone. Leave it empty to follow the iPad's own light or dark setting.

Set up this device as a bar screen

Setting up the iPad

  1. Open OnBar in Safari on the iPad, sign in, and come back to this page. Choose "Set up this device as a bar screen". You are signed out there; the screen carries nobody's access.
  2. Keep it awake: Settings, Display & Brightness, Auto-Lock, Never. Keep it plugged in.
  3. Keep it on OnBar: Settings, Accessibility, Guided Access, on, and set a passcode. Open the bar screen in Safari and triple-click the top (or home) button to start Guided Access. Triple-click again with the passcode to leave.
  4. Optional: in Safari, Share, Add to Home Screen, then open it from there for a full-screen page.

The screen refreshes itself every minute and after every tap, so it never needs a reload or a sign-in.
