Short answer
A café POS needs fast modifiers, name calling, loyalty and a takeaway-first layout. EvronDesk's café mode puts all of that on the first screen, runs on an iPad or Android tablet, and tracks beans, milk and pastries against sales.
Modifiers in the order people say them
Set up size, milk, shots, syrups and temperature as modifier groups on each drink. The barista taps through them in order, and only the ones that apply to that drink appear. Extra-cost modifiers (oat milk, extra shot) add their price automatically.
Name on the cup
Add the guest's name to the order and it appears on the kitchen or bar screen, the receipt and the order-ready board. Call it out, or let the board do it.
Morning rush, afternoon lull
Put your top ten items on the first screen. Run QR ordering for guests at tables so they don't queue twice. Switch to an afternoon menu automatically at 11:30 with time-based categories.
Loyalty without stamp cards
Take a phone number at the till and points add up automatically. Set the reward: a free coffee after a certain spend, or a discount. Birthday and win-back lists help bring back regulars who've drifted. See loyalty.
Stock that matters to cafés
Track the handful of items that make or break your margin: beans, milk, oat milk, cups, pastries. Add a recipe to each drink (18 g beans, 200 ml milk) and EvronDesk tracks usage. Waste the day-old pastries as "end of day" so you can see how much you over-bake.
Bakeries
Sell by the piece or the box with size options. Take cake orders with a part payment as a deposit, and note the pickup time on the order. Mark sold-out items so they disappear from your online menu.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best POS for a coffee shop?
One that makes modifiers fast (milk, size, shots, syrups), shows the customer's name on the order, handles loyalty without a separate app, and works on an iPad or Android tablet at the counter. A low monthly price matters because café tickets are small.
Can I run a café POS on an iPad?
Yes. Install EvronDesk from the browser on the iPad and it runs full-screen. Add a receipt printer and a cash drawer if you take cash.
Does EvronDesk have a loyalty program for cafés?
Yes. Points are earned automatically when the guest's phone number is on the order. No stamp cards or separate loyalty app.
