Run your café from one system.
POS • Kitchen • Inventory • QR Ordering • Payments
Stop managing your café with notebooks, WhatsApp messages, and disconnected tools.
Running a profitable café requires connecting your front counter, kitchen, raw stock, and payments into one single source of truth.
Paper slips, manual math, and blind stock
Lost paper tickets & kitchen chaos
Handwritten paper slips get lost or stained. Waiters run back and forth asking kitchen status.
Untracked shrinkage & ingredient waste
Coffee beans, meat, and milk vanish without audit logs. You only notice discrepancies at month-end.
Shift cash drawer shortages & errors
Cash drawer totals don't match Telebirr SMS alerts, leading to mistrust and unrecoverable revenue leaks.
One synchronized system from counter to kitchen
Real-time kitchen order queue
Every drink and meal rings up instantly on barista and cook screens with color-coded timers.
Automated recipe depletion & stock audit
Each macchiato, burger, and tibs automatically deducts raw beans and meat with variance tracking.
Instant shift Z-report & tender balance
Reconcile Cash, Telebirr, and CBE Birr in seconds. Cashiers hand over shifts with zero ambiguity.
Everything your café needs during peak rush hours
Run your counter till, kitchen routing, ingredient loss prevention, and table ordering seamlessly.
Fast Counter POS Till
Built for rapid order entry during busy morning rushes. Fast taps, modifiers, and receipt printing.
Interactive Tables & Floor Plan
Real-time seating status for Patio, Indoors, and VIP tables with individual QR stickers.
Split Payments & Z-Reports
Settle checks instantly with Cash, Telebirr, or CBE Birr. Auto-calculate end-of-shift drawer reconciliation.
Paperless Kitchen Display (KDS)
Replace paper tickets with color-coded ticket timers and tap-to-bump stations for kitchen and bar.
QR Table Menu & Self-Pay
Guests scan the table QR code, view their live bill as items are rung up, and pay via Telebirr or CBE Birr.
Multi-Branch Management
Manage multiple café branches from one account with separate menus, workspaces, and consolidated reports.
Up and running in less than 5 minutes
No complex hardware installation or IT consultants required. Runs instantly in any modern browser on phones, tablets, or touchscreen POS tills.
1. Set up your café workspace
Add your café name, branch location, and invite your cashiers, baristas, and floor staff with custom role permissions.
2. Add your menu & prices
Upload your coffee, breakfast, mains, and drinks with ETB prices, Amharic labels, recipe ingredient links, and fasting (Ye-Tsom) tags.
3. Start taking orders & serving
Open the register on any tablet, phone, or PC. Ring up items, send tickets straight to the kitchen screen, and settle checks.
Know what you bought, what you used, what you wasted, and what you have left.
Automatic recipe depletion deducts grams and liters with every ring-up. End-of-shift physical counts expose theft and portion drift instantly.

Tamper-Resistant Drawer Audits
Offline receipts are sequentially numbered and cryptographically hashed to prevent cash skimming.
