Most independent cafes still run on phone calls, paper notes, and word of mouth. Orders get lost when nobody answers the phone, delivery apps take 15-30% of every sale, and owners have zero visibility into which items sell and when. Existing solutions force a choice between expensive monthly SaaS platforms and cheap static templates with no real management behind them.
The Solution
Cafe combines three systems in one self-hosted platform: a fast customer-facing site where guests order and reserve, a secure backend that handles business logic, and an admin panel where staff manage daily operations without touching code. Owners finally see their numbers in one place - and stop paying per-order commissions.
What Cafe Platform Does For You
Every feature is built around one goal: measurable results for your business.
24/7 online ordering
Guests order and reserve tables at any hour - even when the shop is closed or the phone line is busy.
No-code admin panel
Staff update menu items, prices, and availability from a dashboard built for non-technical teams.
Sales analytics
See peak hours, best-sellers, and revenue trends in one screen instead of guessing what sells.
Mobile-first guests
Most customers browse restaurants on phones. The storefront is designed mobile-first and loads fast.
Multi-branch ready
Give each branch its own storefront while owners report centrally across all locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which edition should I choose?
Lite if you need a strong online presence (menu, location, contact). Pro if your staff should manage orders and reservations from an admin panel. Business if you operate multiple branches and want installation handled for you.
Can I upgrade from Lite to Pro later?
Yes. All editions share the same codebase, so you can start with Lite and unlock Pro or Business features anytime by paying the difference.
Do I keep paying anything after purchase?
No. Every edition is a one-time license for self-hosted software. Your only ongoing costs are your own hosting and database - typically a few dollars per month.
Can I customize the design and branding?
Yes. Colors, logo, fonts, and texts are configurable through design tokens, so rebranding is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic frontend work.
Does it support Persian language and RTL layouts?
Yes. The layout is RTL-ready and Persian translations plug in easily - it was designed with bilingual menus in mind from day one.
Is installation help included?
Every edition ships with a step-by-step deployment guide. The Business edition includes priority support covering hands-on installation.
