The record

Purpose: Club Bar is an open-source point-of-sale system for sports clubs, community centers, and member organizations that run a bar or canteen.
Member checkout: Members can identify themselves with an RFID or NFC card and view their personal tab at the terminal.
Offline use: The terminal caches data locally and supports checkout without an internet connection, then syncs when connected.
Administration: The admin panel supports member and product management, settlements, reports, a transaction journal, and audit history.
Payments: It can generate SEPA direct debit pain.008.001.08 XML and export settlements as XML or CSV.
Integrations: The system uses RFID/NFC readers, SMTP email, and REST APIs, and optionally supports an ESP8266 controller with an Azkoyen Hopper token dispenser.
Age checks: Product minimum ages are checked at checkout, and the terminal can refuse a sale offline using the member’s birth date.
Privacy: Member management includes GDPR data export and anonymization workflows.
Security: The security design includes mandatory admin TOTP two-factor authentication, role-based authorization, encrypted IBANs, audit logging, and terminal anomaly detection.
Backups: The backup documentation describes sealed-box encrypted backups and says a recipient key must be configured; without one, no backup is written.
Deployment: The maker documents self-hosting on PHP shared hosting, with PHP 8.3 or later, MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.5+, and Apache mod_rewrite.
Terminal platform: The terminal is a Flutter desktop app targeting embedded Linux, with the installation guide covering Raspberry Pi OS on Raspberry Pi 4 or 5.
License: The repository identifies the project as open source under the Apache-2.0 license.
SEPA: The settlement workflow can export SEPA XML or CSV, and the backend generates pain.008.001.08 XML for direct debit.
