A custom POS system for independent restaurants, bars and cafés. Tables, splits, kitchen tickets, recipes, EU VAT — built around how your venue actually runs. No monthly subscriptions. No per-terminal fees. You get the source code and own it for good.
Independent restaurants, bars and cafés have specific workflows — daily-changing menus, multi-station bars, open-fire kitchens, complex recipe costing. Generic POS templates force you to adapt around their structure. And the monthly fees never stop.
SaaS POS charges €45–339 per terminal per month. Add a station, add a fee. Open a second venue, double the fee. Three years in, you've paid more than a custom build — and you still don't own anything.
Your menu changes daily? Your bar has eight stations? Your kitchen needs separate tickets for grill and pass? Generic POS templates were built for a chain restaurant in 2015. You have to bend your operation to fit theirs.
12 to 36-month contracts. Data trapped in their format. Can't customise, can't migrate, can't even export your menu cleanly. You're renting a service that holds your business as collateral.
Need EU VAT? German TSE fiscalization? Those are tier-upgrade fees on most SaaS POS. We build the compliance you need once, into the code you own.
Every feature exists because we've watched independent restaurants, bars and cafés deal with the same operational gaps for years. The POS is built around what your venue actually does at service.
Custom floor plan. Tables, bar seats, terraces. Split bills any way customers want. Merge tables on the fly. Move orders between tables in one tap.
Orders print or display at the right station automatically. Kitchen sees food, bar sees drinks. Separate dockets for grill, cold, dessert if you need them.
Every dish costed from ingredient level up. Supplier prices update in one place. Margin per dish, per category, per day — always current.
End-of-day reports in one tap. Monthly revenue, top sellers, staff sales, petty cash. Export for your accountant in formats that don't need cleaning up.
VAT rules built in from the start. German TSE fiscalization available as an add-on (€700, via certified provider fiskaly). English and German interfaces standard; other languages on request.
The POS runs locally on your device. Internet drops mid-service — service continues. Data syncs when connection returns. No SaaS dashboard outage stops your venue.
SaaS POS charges you forever. We charge once. Real numbers, single-venue restaurant, three-year horizon.
