A till that knows your morning rush.
AI-driven point-of-sale built specifically for cafes and coffee shops — forecasting demand, prompting the right upsell at the right moment, and keeping inventory honest without extra admin. Installed on site across Brisbane, supported Australia-wide.
What an AI cafe POS does that an ordinary till doesn't
Demand forecasting
Predicts busy periods and likely orders from past sales patterns, so prep and staffing match what's actually coming.
Smart upsell prompts
Surfaces the pairing that's actually likely to sell, at the point of sale — not a generic "add a muffin?" for every order.
Inventory insight
Tracks stock against real sales velocity, flagging what's running low before it becomes a mid-morning scramble.
Order-ready on a Vestaboard
Pair the POS with a Vestaboard split-flap menu board for order-ready numbers, specials and sold-out items that flip over on their own.
Getting it onto your counter
-
01
Look at what you already run
We start with the counter as it is: the terminal, printer, card machine and the menu in its current mess. Most cafes keep their hardware, and we'll say so rather than sell you a new kit.
-
02
Build the menu properly
Sizes, milks, extras and the regulars' usual order, laid out so a flat white with oat milk is one tap and not four. This is the part that decides whether the queue moves.
-
03
Go live with us there
We're on site for the first trading day, through the actual rush, so the staff learn it on real orders and anything awkward gets fixed on the spot.
-
04
Let it learn your trade
Forecasting sharpens over the first few weeks as it learns your patterns — the Saturday rush, the school-holiday dip, the weather effect on cold drinks.
For Brisbane cafes, and cafes anywhere else
We're based in Brisbane, so for local cafes we do the install on site and stand behind the counter on day one. Outside Brisbane we set the system up remotely and stay on the phone through your first rush.
Because we build AI integrations and CRM systems for a living, the POS doesn't sit in its own silo. Sales data can feed your accounting package, a loyalty list, a reporting dashboard, or a Vestaboard split-flap board behind the counter that flips to the next order-ready number on its own.
- Works with the terminal, printer and card machine you already have, where possible
- Menu, modifiers and regulars configured before go-live
- On-site training through a real trading day in Brisbane
- Integrations with accounting, payments and loyalty
- Optional order-ready display board driven straight from the POS
Cafe POS: common questions
What makes an AI POS different from a normal cafe POS?
A normal POS records what already happened. An AI POS uses that same sales history to predict what's coming — how busy Thursday will be, what to prep, which pairing is actually worth suggesting — so the till helps run the shift instead of just recording it.
Do we have to replace our existing hardware?
Usually not. Most cafes keep their terminal, printer and cash drawer. We assess what's on the counter first and tell you honestly if something needs replacing rather than selling you a new kit by default.
Can it handle a morning rush?
That's the case it's designed around. The order screen is built for speed with one-tap regulars and common modifiers, and the AI suggestions never block the sale — if a prompt isn't useful, staff keep going.
Will it work with our accounting and payments?
Yes. We integrate with the payment terminal and accounting package you already use rather than forcing a switch, because we build integrations for a living.
How long does setup take?
Menu build and configuration happen before go-live, and we're on site for the first trading day. Forecasting improves over the first few weeks as it learns your actual sales patterns.
Do you install POS systems in Brisbane cafes?
Yes. We're Brisbane-based and install on site across Brisbane, including staff training during a real trading day. Cafes elsewhere in Australia are supported remotely.
Can the POS drive a display board for customers?
Yes. We connect the POS to a Vestaboard split-flap display so order-ready numbers, daily specials and sold-out items flip over automatically without anyone updating a board by hand.
