Owner-run cafés
One or two people behind the counter who can't take orders and make drinks at the same time.
About
Built for the café floor at 9 a.m. on a Saturday.
Most cafés don't have an ordering problem. They have a counter problem: one till, one person, and a line out the door at the exact moment the espresso machine needs attention. Walk-in Ordering moves the ordering to the table so the counter can go back to making coffee.
Who it's for
Places where the order is the bottleneck
Busy restaurants
Floors where servers spend more time walking to take orders than bringing food out.
Hotel F&B
Breakfast rooms, lobby lounges and poolside seating where guests are spread across areas.
How we think about it
Four rules we don't bend
No app for guests. Ever.
A guest who has to install something before ordering a coffee will just walk to the counter. Everything runs in the phone's browser from one scan.
The café's brand, not ours.
Guests see your logo, your colours and your menu. There's no marketplace, no other cafés listed, and no discount banners pulling them elsewhere.
Staff tools that survive a rush.
Big tap targets, a sound when a ticket arrives, and one button to move an order forward. If it needs training, it's too complicated.
Say what's live, and what isn't.
Table → order → kitchen → paid came first. Stock, analytics and staff logins were built on top of it. If a feature isn't ready, we label it Roadmap instead of pretending.
Under the hood
Simple on purpose
Runs in the browser Guest, staff and admin screens are web pages. Any phone, tablet or laptop works.
Realtime by default Orders and status changes are pushed over a live connection, so nobody refreshes.
Separate per café Access rules in the database keep every café's menu, orders and team private to that café.
Payments you already take Cash, UPI and bank transfer, confirmed by staff with a saved payment record.
Straight answers
What's live, and what isn't yet
Everything under "Live today" works in the product right now. "Coming next" is what we're building on the same order data.
Live today
- Guest QR ordering Menu with photos, cart with quantities and kitchen notes, cash / UPI / bank transfer choice, live order status.
- Staff queue Realtime order list with a sound on new orders, status changes, and Mark paid for cash and UPI.
- Café Admin Menu, categories, photos, CSV import, 86'ing items, tables with printable QR pack, branding, payment methods.
- Separate data per café Every café is its own account. Database access rules make sure staff and owners only ever see their own menu, tables and orders.
- Platform checkout Cafés pay for Platform Access through Razorpay, then create their admin login.
- Analytics Revenue and money received, best sellers, busiest hours, and breakdowns by table, staff member and payment method.
- Staff logins Owners add staff, kitchen and manager logins from Café Admin and remove them when people leave.
- Stock counts Optional per-item stock that drops with every order, sells out automatically at zero, and warns you when it runs low.
Coming next
- Live menu updates Push 86'd items to menus guests already have open, instead of on the next load.
- Online guest payments Per-café payment gateway so guests can pay by card inside the order flow.
- Optional location check A soft warning if someone orders from far outside the café.
