Built for cafes. Not for chains.

Most restaurant software is designed for large chains with IT departments. CafeOS is built for independent cafes, hookah bars, and small restaurants that want to go digital fast — without buying hardware or signing long contracts.

No hardware required

Unlike Toast or Square POS, CafeOS runs entirely in the browser. Your kitchen display is a browser tab. Your customer menu is a QR scan. Your POS is a webpage. No proprietary terminals, no tablet bundles.

QR ordering built in — end to end

Generic QR menu tools like QR Tiger or Menu Tiger show a menu but can't take payments or fire orders to a kitchen. CafeOS is a full operating system: QR scan → order → kitchen display → payment, end to end.

Stripe Connect — your money, your account

Unlike platforms that pool payments and pay out weekly, CafeOS uses Stripe Connect so customer payments land in your own Stripe account. You control your payouts. The platform takes only a small processing fee.

Reservations with deposits — built in

Most small venue software skips reservations or sells them as a separate product. CafeOS includes online reservations with Stripe deposit capture, automated confirmation emails, and table auto-assignment.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about cafe and restaurant management software

What is CafeOS?
CafeOS is an all-in-one management platform for cafes, restaurants, and hookah bars. It includes QR code ordering, a kitchen display system, Stripe payments, online reservations with deposits, a staff POS, analytics, and team management — all from a single web-based dashboard.
Does it work for restaurants and hookah bars, not just cafes?
Yes. CafeOS is built for any table-service venue: coffee shops, restaurants, hookah and shisha bars, food halls, and bars. The QR ordering and kitchen display work for any cuisine and service style.
Do my customers need to download an app?
No app download required. Customers scan the QR code on the table with their phone camera and the menu opens in the browser instantly. The menu is a Progressive Web App — fast, offline-capable, and works on any smartphone.
What hardware do I need?
None. The kitchen display runs in any browser — on a tablet, laptop, or any monitor with a browser. The customer-facing menu works on any smartphone. The staff POS is a webpage. CafeOS requires no proprietary hardware or special terminals.
How does payment processing work?
CafeOS uses Stripe Connect. You connect your own Stripe account and payments from customers go directly into your account. CafeOS charges a small platform fee per transaction. Customers can pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Staff can also accept cash and record it manually.
Is CafeOS free?
CafeOS is free to start with no credit card required and no setup fees. You pay a small platform fee only when you process payments through Stripe. There are no monthly subscriptions or contracts.
Does CafeOS support table reservations?
Yes. CafeOS includes a full online reservation system. Customers book a table online, pay a deposit via Stripe, and receive a confirmation email. Staff can see all upcoming reservations, assign tables and waiters, and apply deposits toward the final bill.
Can I manage multiple venues or locations?
Yes. CafeOS is multi-tenant. Each venue has its own menu, staff roster, table layout, QR codes, and connected Stripe account. A single owner account can manage multiple venues.
