Cafe Inventory Management, Built for Offline Baristas
Track perishable stock and keep counter service moving locally after setup, with no live network required for everyday checkout.
Sound familiar?
Milk and pastries expire fast
Without expiry tracking, perishable stock gets over-ordered or sold past its best-by date.
Morning rush can't wait on a connection
An unstable network should not prevent the counter from recording an order.
Manual reordering wastes time
Without low-stock alerts, staff either run out of beans or over-order and tie up cash.
Built for how you actually work
Lot & Expiry Tracking
Track batches by expiry date so nothing gets served past its shelf life.
Local Checkout After Setup
Record counter sales and stock deductions on the device without a live connection. Registration and cloud operations still need internet.
Hold and Recall an Order
Park an unfinished cart on the current device, then recall it when the customer is ready. Held carts do not reserve stock and are not synced or backed up.
Split Tender Recording
Take a partial amount from the visible tender field, then settle the balance with another recorded method. External terminals still process card or e-wallet payments.
Promotions and Loyalty
Apply configured promotions and redeem loyalty points offline. Promotion usage caps are best-effort across offline devices, and concurrent redemptions may need reconciliation.
Supplies and Replenishment
Record internal use of ingredients, review priority stock alerts, and turn reorder suggestions into editable draft purchase orders for supplier follow-up.

Will checkout keep working if the cafe internet drops?

Do I need to pay for this?
