A cafe point of sale system that moves as fast as your barista

In an independent UK cafe or coffee shop, profitability is won or lost during the morning commuter rush and the weekend brunch turnover. When twelve customers are queuing out the door at 8:30 AM ordering oat flat whites, iced matchas, and toasted sourdough, a clunky legacy till system slows your barista down and costs you walk-aways.

CubePOS is a modern cloud-based cafe POS system engineered specifically for independent cafes, specialty coffee bars, bakeries, delicatessen, and brunch venues across the UK. Instead of burying milk alternatives and syrup add-ons inside nested sub-menus, CubePOS puts every modifier on a lightning-fast iPad screen — automatically adjusting the price and deducting exact milk and coffee bean stock in real time.

Whether a customer is grabbing a takeaway espresso at the counter or sitting down with friends for a full weekend brunch, your till system adapts instantly. Switch between rapid counter mode, dual eat-in and takeaway pricing, and visual floor-plan table management without needing two separate software setups.

When hot food is ordered, tickets fire straight from the counter iPad or mobile server app to your CubeKDS kitchen display screen — complete with allergen flags and table numbers. And because cafe Wi-Fi can be unpredictable, CubePOS features full offline mode operation so your counter never stops taking orders.
