POS software for cafes that keeps the queue moving

The problems cafe owners tell us about

Small tickets, a morning rush and regulars who expect you to remember their order.

“The morning queue gets long and people walk away.”

Favourites sit on the first screen, payment takes one tap, and a compact terminal prints the receipt itself.

Point of Sale

“Drinks come out wrong when the customisation is not captured.”

Size, milk and extras are options on the item. Choices you mark as required have to be made before the order is sent.

Restaurant

“Paper stamp cards tell me nothing about my regulars.”

Stamps and points are kept against the customer's number, so the free coffee applies itself and you can see who comes back.

LoyaltyCustomers

“Milk or beans run out in the middle of the rush.”

Each drink has a recipe, so every sale takes its ingredients off stock and low stock is flagged before you run out.

RecipesInventory

“I do not know which items actually make money.”

Sales by item and by hour are ready whenever you look, next to what the ingredients cost you.

ReportsRecipes

“I am opening a second outlet and cannot be in both.”

One menu, one price list and one set of reports for every outlet, on your phone.

Stock that follows what you sell

Recipes link every drink and pastry to its ingredients. When milk or beans are running low you know before the rush, not during it.

  • Recipes for drinks and food
  • Low-stock flags
  • Supplier orders from the same system
