POS Coffee Shop System.
A desktop point-of-sale system tailored for independent coffee shops and small cafés — fast checkout, customisable drink menus, ingredient-level stock, and offline-first reliability so a network outage never stops sales.
Key features.
- Touchscreen-optimised order screen with combo/modifier flows
- Ingredient-level inventory deducts as drinks are sold
- Daily Z/X reports + tax-compliant receipt printing
- Offline-first — queues transactions and syncs when network returns
- Built-in loyalty program with QR-code stamps
Architecture.
Local-first Electron app — every transaction commits to local SQLite first, ensuring zero downtime even when the internet is out. A background sync worker pushes data to the cloud opportunistically. The same TypeScript core powers a web admin dashboard for owners.
