What should I put on special this week?
Café QR · Best and slowest sellers
Your flat white and the halloumi wrap carry the week. The carrot cake sold 3 in 7 days, so it's the one to push or drop.
We're out of brownies, can you mark them sold out?
Café QR · Mark an item sold out
Done. Guests now see the brownie as sold out, and the change is in your Audit log.

Is this a full EPOS system, or just QR ordering?
It is a full cloud POS (EPOS) system for independent venues. The POS plan adds the staff till and waiter app, tabs and split bills, refunds, a floor plan and bookings, kitchen stations, cash-up and your own online ordering page. QR table ordering is built in alongside it, so tables can order for themselves while staff work the till. If the internet drops, the till keeps taking cash, card taken separately on your own machine and your own payment types and uploads those sales when it is back; linked card readers, tabs and QR ordering need the connection. A cash drawer connected to a supported USB receipt printer opens from Chrome or Edge on a computer or Android tablet, not an iPad.
Can it replace our current till?
For most cafés, restaurants, bars and pubs, yes: it covers sales, tabs, card and cash, refunds, cash-up, the kitchen, stock on the Multi-site plan and reports. If you need integrated card payments through an internet outage, keep your EPOS and run Café QR next to it. A Square till can be linked so paid orders are pushed to it.
Do we need special hardware? Does it work on an iPad?
No special hardware, and yes. It runs in the browser on an iPad, an Android tablet, a phone or a laptop. A card reader (Stripe Terminal, UK) and a kitchen printer (Star or Epson) are optional extras you buy yourself, and you can take card on your own machine and record it on the till.
Can I keep my own card machine?
Yes. On the POS plan the till can send the total to your Dojo card machine or a Stripe Terminal reader, and the sale is marked paid when the card goes through. With any other card machine, staff take the card on it and tap card on the till, so it still counts in the takings and cash-up. There is no contract, so you are never tied to our payments.
Where does the money go?
Payments are processed on your own connected Stripe account, with your café as the merchant. Stripe pays out to your bank according to your account’s payout schedule and settlement timing.
What happens if the Wi-Fi drops?
Service carries on. Once opened online on that device, the till keeps taking cash, card taken separately on your own machine and any payment types of your own, and uploads those sales when the connection is back. Linked card readers, tabs, manager approvals, QR table ordering and online orders wait for the connection, so a phone hotspot is the simplest backup for those.
Is our data and our money safe?
Card payments go through your own Stripe account, so the money never passes through us and card numbers are handled by Stripe, not stored by Café QR. Every member of staff signs in as themselves with a role you choose, and refunds, discounts and the cash drawer can be set to need a manager's PIN.
