POS for cafés, coffee shops and takeaways in Kenya

A café needs speed at the counter: tap the drink, choose the size and the extra shot, take M-Pesa and print the receipt. BlueDuka's Café plan does that, with tables when guests sit and kitchen tickets when food is cooked.

Fast at the counter

  • The menu as large buttons by category: coffee, tea, juice, snacks, meals
  • Sizes, milk choices and add-ons on each item, priced right
  • Takeaway or eat-in in one tap; tables when guests sit down
  • Bottled drinks and snacks scanned by barcode, with a scanner or the phone's camera
  • M-Pesa PIN prompt, cash or both; printed or WhatsApp receipt

Behind the counter

  • Kitchen tickets for food that needs cooking, without prices
  • Stock of milk, beans, cups and snacks, with low-stock alerts
  • Suppliers, purchases and expenses
  • Till shifts for each cashier, checked against the cash and M-Pesa taken

For fast food and takeaways

Order numbers on the receipt and a kitchen screen that shows what is cooking and ready. On the Restaurant plan, online orders come in from your own link; on Restaurant Pro, guests order and pay themselves on a self-service kiosk and collect with the number on their receipt.

Price

The Café plan is KES 1,499 a month for one branch, 15 tables and 5 staff. Every new café gets a month of everything free first, with no card.

Questions

What is the best POS for a small café in Kenya?

Look for quick ordering with sizes and add-ons, M-Pesa that confirms itself, kitchen tickets and a fair monthly price. BlueDuka's Café plan has all of these for KES 1,499 a month, after a free month.

Can I use a phone or tablet as the till?

Yes. Use the Android app, or add BlueDuka to an iPhone's or iPad's Home Screen; both keep working without internet, as does the Windows app on a computer. A receipt printer can be connected over the network, USB or Bluetooth.

Can my café grow into a restaurant plan?

Yes. Move from Café to Restaurant or Restaurant Pro any time for more tables, branches, the kitchen screen, QR menu and the kiosk. Your menu and records stay.
