Beverage cart
The beverage cart rings on the same register as the pro shop.
Cart staff take orders on a tablet or a phone, run the card where the golfer is standing, and the sale is in the day the moment it happens. Simple enough for seasonal staff to learn in a shift. Included with the Golf POS at no extra charge.
The problem
Where this usually falls apart.
Not because anyone is doing it wrong, but because the pieces were never designed to share a database.
- Drinks sold on the course go onto a clipboard and get keyed in later, so the day is reconstructed at close.
- Cart revenue arrives as its own report, so the round a golfer played and the drinks they bought never land on the same customer.
- Cooler stock is counted apart from shop stock, so the numbers only agree when somebody makes them agree.
- A charge taken at the tenth tee has to be re-keyed onto a member balance by hand after close.
Capabilities
What the beverage cart includes.
Sell from the cart itself
Staff take orders and run cards anywhere on the property, on a tablet or a phone, without coming back to the clubhouse.
Split tickets and cash
Cash plus card, or two cards, on one order, with a receipt every time.
House accounts on the course
A charge goes to a member house account on the same record the counter works from, so nothing gets re-keyed at the end of the shift.
Text or email the receipt from the cart
Text it, email it, or print one for anyone who still wants paper, before the cart moves on.
Stock draws down as you sell
On-hand counts move as the cart sells, so cooler stock and shop stock are the same numbers.
One customer, one record
The golfer who booked online is the same golfer on the cart order.
How it works
A day on the cart in TeeWire.
-
Take the order
Staff ring drinks and snacks on a tablet or a phone, and the clubhouse sees it as it happens.

Take the money
Tap, chip or swipe on a handheld terminal, split across cash and card, or post the charge to a member house account.
-
Hand over the receipt
Print, email or text it.
-
Close the day
Cart sales are already in the daily sales summary, the end of shift Z-report, the drawer close and the ledger.
Connected by design
The cart works with the rest of TeeWire.
Every module writes to the same database.

What operators say
Golf course operators who run TeeWire, in their own words.
TeeWire enabled us to transition from a walk up facility to 100% prepaid tee times within 48 hours of our first call with the sales team. Their system is easy for our customers to use and our employees to manage, and customer service is always responsive. I highly recommend!
