Local installation
Run your POS on your own computer
The same software as the cloud version; the only difference is where it runs: the server and the database live on the café’s own machine. The till keeps working when the internet drops, and you pay for the software once.
Why install locally
Keeps going when the internet stops
The database, server and interface run on the café’s own computer. When the line goes down you keep taking orders, printing tickets and closing bills.
Paid once
No monthly subscription. The licence key is yours; the software keeps working even after the maintenance period ends.
Your data stays with you
Orders, takings, staff — none of it goes to our servers. The only thing we receive is how many computers the licence is used on.
Waiters use their own phones
The app announces itself on the café’s wifi. A phone scans the QR code, adds it to the home screen and staff sign in with their own PIN. No extra devices to buy.
Plug in a USB printer and it is found
Connect the receipt printer by cable and open the app; it sets up the print queue itself. Network printers are supported too.
Everything included
No tiers. Tickets, till, kitchen display, stock, bookkeeping, reports and bookings are on from day one.
How to install
- 1. Buy a licence — the key arrives by email.
- 2. Download and run the installer.
- 3. Paste the key on the first screen and enter your business name and owner account. The business is set up on the same screen.
- 4. Plug in the receipt printer and connect the waiters’ phones with the QR code.
Installation is a one-off and takes about five minutes.

Cloud or local?
If you run several branches from one place, would rather not look after hardware and need access from anywhere, the cloud version suits you better. If your internet drops often, you want your data never to leave the building, or you prefer paying once to paying monthly, local installation is for you.
