Café & Bakery POS

Introduction

A cafe or bakery sells lots of small items quickly, often with a queue at the counter and a display case to keep stocked. The software here handles fast checkout, product variants such as sizes and milk choices, and daily sales figures. Some products are general tills that also suit cafes. Others are built for bakers and add custom-order pricing, production planning and recipe costing, and a few of those are not tills at all. Some are sold in one country only, with local tax receipts built in. Of the 39 profiled products, 16 mention offline use, which matters when a busy morning cannot wait for the internet.

Who needs it

Coffee shops, bakeries, patisseries and small counter-service cafes. A simple till is enough when you sell off the shelf. Custom cakes, wholesale orders or a baking schedule are the point at which bakery-specific software starts to pay for itself. Check that tax receipt rules for your country are covered, as they differ from place to place.
