For Australian Cafes & Coffee Shops

Built for the Morning Rush

A fast counter POS, QR table ordering and order-ahead pickup, built to keep the queue moving through the morning rush, with GST and your ABN on every receipt and nothing to buy before the first flat white goes through the till.

Why cafes choose RestroManage

Speed at the Counter, and Clean Books at Close

Fast counter checkout

A POS built for quick, high-volume transactions through the morning and lunch peaks, with GST applied and your ABN on the receipt every time.

QR ordering for table service

Guests seated at a table scan and order without waiting to flag down staff.

Order-ahead for pickup

Regulars order online and collect on arrival, cutting queue time during the rush.

Simple menu management

Update drinks, sizes and modifiers in one place, and set a GST-free rate on the individual items your accountant has told you are GST-free.

The cafe day

From Morning Rattle to Last Call of the Steam Wand

A cafe runs on rhythm — the same few hours every day decide whether the week works. RestroManage is built around that rhythm, not around a full-service restaurant's service.

  1. 1

    7am – 10am, the breakfast rush

    Counter orders ring up in a few taps, guests on tables scan their QR card and order drinks without queueing, and order-ahead regulars collect without touching the line. Every order fires to the kitchen screen so food prep starts before the ticket is printed.

  2. 2

    11am – 2pm, the a la carte lunch

    Combo builds, size swaps and no-modifier orders stay fast at the counter while dine-in and takeaway are tracked separately, so the same salad can be a sit-down plate or a bagged takeaway without double entry, and each channel reports on its own line at close.

  3. 3

    2pm – 5pm, the afternoon lull

    Pre-orders for the walk-home crowd keep the till ticking over, and staff update the menu for seasonal specials in one place — drink sizes, prices, and photos change instantly across the QR menu, storefront, and POS.

  4. 4

    Close, one reconciliation file

    Shift reports split sales by channel and drawer, and sales sync to Xero, MYOB AccountRight or QuickBooks Online automatically. No pasting numbers into a spreadsheet at 11pm, and the figures behind your BAS labels export when your accountant asks for them.

No upfront cost

Live and Taking Orders in a Day

Cafe FAQ

Australian Cafe and Coffee Shop Questions, Answered

Is RestroManage built for cafes and coffee shops, or just full restaurants?+
Both. Australian cafes use the same fast counter POS, QR ordering for table service and online ordering for pre-orders and pickup, without paying for restaurant-scale features a coffee counter does not need.
Can customers order ahead for pickup?+
Yes. Online ordering supports pickup timing, so regulars can order their coffee and food ahead and walk in to collect it, reducing counter queues during the morning rush.
Does it handle a fast-moving counter service model?+
Yes. The POS is built for speed at the counter, and orders route straight to the kitchen display so drink and food prep starts immediately, without a docket being carried back by hand.
What does it cost for a single small cafe?+
Plans start with customer online ordering at A$19 per venue per month. Brasserie and Signature add progressively more operational tools, including the Australian accounting connectors, and the first six months are free by default. The pricing page shows the live feature mapping for each plan.
