CafeOS uses Stripe Connect. Your customers pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. The money lands directly in your Stripe account — not held by us. No monthly subscription. Only a small platform fee per transaction.
You connect your own Stripe account via Stripe Connect Express. Payments go directly to your account. CafeOS never holds your money.
Stripe pays out to your bank account on your chosen schedule. CafeOS takes a small platform fee per transaction — that's it.
Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — all accepted out of the box. No additional setup per payment method.
Staff can take card or cash payments through the built-in POS. Cash orders are recorded manually. Both appear in your analytics.
Deposits are captured via Stripe at the time of booking. They credit automatically against the final bill when guests arrive.
All payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe — PCI DSS compliant, with built-in fraud detection and 3D Secure support.
Most restaurant platforms pool all venue payments through one account and pay out weekly. CafeOS uses Stripe Connect so each venue keeps full control of its own money.
With Stripe Connect Express, every payment from your customers lands in your own Stripe account. You control when Stripe pays out to your bank. There is no weekly batch payment, no platform holding your cash.
Every transaction is visible in your Stripe dashboard with full detail. You have complete records for accounting, VAT reporting, and audits — independent of CafeOS.
CafeOS charges a small platform fee per Stripe transaction — only when you process a payment. There is no monthly fee, no setup cost, and no long-term contract. If you have a slow week, you pay nothing.
Your total cost per transaction is Stripe's standard processing fee plus the CafeOS platform fee. Both are deducted automatically before payout. No invoices, no surprises.
