A custom point-of-sale system for independent restaurants, bars and cafés across Europe. Tables, splits, kitchen tickets, recipes, EU VAT — built around the way your business actually runs. No monthly subscriptions. No per-terminal fees. You get the source code and own it forever.
Independent restaurants, bars and cafés have their own way of working — menus that change daily, multi-station bars, open kitchens, complex recipe costing. Generic templates force you to bend your business to their structure. And the monthly fees never stop.
SaaS POS systems charge €45–339 per terminal per month. One more station, one more fee. A second location, double the fee. After three years you've paid more than a custom build — and you still own nothing.
A POS for every kind of business means: made for no one in particular. You pay for plenty of modules you never open, while the features you actually need are missing or only available via upgrades.
Add a reservation field? A special tip split? A custom bonus report? With SaaS providers that means "contact our enterprise sales team" — i.e. five-figure custom-development packages. With a system you own, changes are just code edits.
12 to 36 months of contract lock-in. Your data sits in the provider's format. You can't just move, can't export cleanly, can't extract your menu without cleanup. You're renting a system that holds your business hostage.
Every feature exists because we've seen restaurants, bars and cafés hit the same operational gaps for years. The POS is built around what actually happens during your service.
Tables, counter seats, terraces — your own floor plan. Orders taken in seconds, splits divided any way, tables merged when needed, orders moved between tables with one tap.
Orders print or display automatically at the right station. Kitchen sees food, bar sees drinks. Separate tickets for grill, cold, dessert — whenever you need them.
Every dish costed from the ingredient level up. Update supplier prices in one place. Margin per dish, per category, per day — always current.
VAT rules built in from the start. German TSE compliance available as an add-on (€700, via certified provider fiskaly). German and English by default — additional languages on request.
End-of-day close in one tap. Monthly revenue, top sellers, staff sales, petty cash. Export for your accountant in formats that don't need cleaning up first.
Each staff member gets their own login with a role. Shift planning, tip reporting, sales report per person. Permissions fully configurable — who voids, who discounts, who runs the end-of-day close.
SaaS POS systems charge forever. We charge once. Realistic numbers, single-location restaurant, three-year horizon.
