POS software built for cafes

A cafe queue is won or lost in seconds per order. Orderix keeps counter billing fast, sends exact drink specs to the barista screen, and handles GST without slowing anyone down.

A cafe is not a small restaurant

Restaurant POS software assumes a table, a captain, and a long order. A cafe runs the opposite way: short tickets, high volume, most of it at the counter, and half the order detail living in the customisation — oat milk, single shot, less sugar, extra hot.

When that detail has to be remembered or shouted, drinks get remade and the queue backs up. Orderix puts the modifier on the item, so what the customer asked for is what appears on the barista screen.

What a cafe actually needs

Counter-speed billing

Large touch item cards and category tabs. Regular orders go in with a few taps, not a search.

Modifiers on every item

Milk type, shot count, sugar level, size, syrups — attached to the item and carried to the barista screen.

Barista display

A live queue with timers on any spare tablet or screen. No printer, no paper dockets curling by the machine.

GST bills & UPI

CGST/SGST per line item, GSTIN and HSN on the invoice, UPI QR collection, PDF receipt by SMS.

Regulars remembered

Customers tracked by phone number, so daily regulars and their usual orders build up over time.

Stock that runs out fast

Track milk, beans, syrups, and bakery items with low-stock alerts before the morning rush finds out for you.

Works for the rest of the counter too

Bakeries

Sell by piece or weight, track trays through the day, and flag items that are running low before the display empties.

Dessert & ice cream counters

Fast repeat tickets with flavour and topping modifiers, plus takeaway billing.

Juice & shake bars

Per-item customisation, quick counter flow, and stock tracking on fruit and dairy.

Cafes with table service

Switch to the table map when you need it — QR menus let seated customers order from their own phone.

Cafe POS FAQs

What POS software is best for a cafe or coffee shop? +

A cafe needs fast counter billing, easy modifiers for drink customisation, and quick repeat ordering — table maps matter less than speed per ticket. Orderix handles counter, table, and takeaway orders with per-item modifiers, GST billing, and a Kitchen Display for the barista station, starting at ₹399/month.

Can I handle drink customisations like milk type and sugar level? +

Yes. Each menu item supports modifiers and add-ons — milk choice, shot count, sugar level, syrup, or size — so the exact specification reaches the barista screen instead of being shouted across the counter.

Does it work for a cafe that also does takeaway and delivery? +

Yes. Counter, dine-in, takeaway, and delivery are separate order flows in the same POS, and all of them land on the same barista or kitchen display with their own tickets.

Do I need a printer for the barista station? +

No. The Kitchen Display runs in a browser on any spare tablet or screen near the counter, showing pending and preparing drinks with timers. Customer bills go out as PDF invoices by SMS.

Can I track regulars who come in every day? +

Yes. Customers are recorded by phone number, so repeat visits, order history, and spending build up automatically — useful for a cafe where the same faces return several times a week.
