Café POS that keeps your counter moving
Take the coffee order, send the kitchen ticket and print the receipt from one system. PatronWorks brings your menu, staff and customer tools together on compatible hardware you already own.
No credit card for the trial. Monthly software plans; payment processing and optional services are billed separately. See current pricing and inclusions.
Show us your morning rush. We’ll show you the workflow.
A coffee shop POS should fit the way you serve: drink sizes, milk choices, food add-ons and customers who come back every week. On a demo, use your own menu to check the steps from order to handoff.
Ask us to demonstrate a modified drink, a food ticket, a printed receipt and a loyalty redemption. You can assess the fit before changing your live counter.

Questions before you choose
What is a café POS system?
A café point-of-sale system records orders and payments at your counter. PatronWorks connects that sale with kitchen tickets, receipt printing and the customer tools included in your plan, so staff can work from the same menu.
Can PatronWorks work for a coffee shop and bakery together?
Yes. You can put drinks, food and bakery items on one menu, use modifiers for the options you sell, and send preparation tickets to the kitchen display. Bring your actual menu to a demo to check the workflow.
Can I use my existing register and receipt printer?
PatronWorks supports Windows registers and a local receipt-printing agent. Bring your register details and printer model to the setup call so we can check compatibility before you commit. Do not assume every device or payment terminal is supported.
How much does a café POS cost?
PatronWorks software plans currently start at $39.99 per location per month. Standard is the lowest currently available plan in the live catalog. Terminal allowances and customer tools depend on your configuration. Check the pricing page for current plans, additional terminals, online-ordering charges and payment-processing costs.
Can I try it before switching my café?
Yes. The 14-day trial does not require a credit card. Set up a sample menu and test orders, kitchen tickets, receipt printing and your intended payment workflow before changing your live operation.
Does the coffee shop POS include loyalty and gift cards?
Loyalty, gift cards, coupons and email marketing are listed in the Standard plan and above. Check the current plan details and demonstrate the customer-identification and redemption steps with your staff.
