New · Works with Claude

Ask Claude about your café. It knows your numbers.

Café QR is in Claude’s connector directory. Connect once, then ask how yesterday went, what sold and when the rush comes. Claude answers from your own till, free on every plan.

  1. How did we do yesterday compared with last Saturday? Café QR · Sales summary £1,284 from 96 orders, up 12% on last Saturday (£1,146). Table QR orders grew most: 41 of the 96. The busiest hour was 12 to 1.
  2. What should I put on special this week? Café QR · Best and slowest sellers Your flat white and the halloumi wrap carry the week. The carrot cake sold 3 in 7 days, so it's the one to push or drop.
  3. We're out of brownies, can you mark them sold out? Café QR · Mark an item sold out Done. Guests now see the brownie as sold out, and the change is in your Audit log.

How the money works

The money is yours. We never touch it.

Each venue connects its own Stripe account and payments are processed on it. You’re the merchant, we provide the software, and Stripe pays out to your bank on your account’s schedule.

  1. Card, wallet or QR Guest pays 3 payments today £42.20
  2. You are the merchant Your Stripe account Café QR fee on payments: £0.00 £42.20

Questions

Straight answers, before you start.

Visit the help centre → Ask us on WhatsApp

Is this a full EPOS system, or just QR ordering?

It is a full cloud POS (EPOS) system for independent venues. The POS plan adds the staff till and waiter app, tabs and split bills, refunds, a floor plan and bookings, kitchen stations, cash-up and your own online ordering page. QR table ordering is built in alongside it, so tables can order for themselves while staff work the till. If the internet drops, the till keeps taking cash (and your own payment types) and uploads those sales when it is back; card payments, tabs and QR ordering need the connection. There is no cash-drawer kick yet.

Can it replace our current till?

For most cafés, restaurants, bars and pubs, yes: it covers sales, tabs, card and cash, refunds, cash-up, the kitchen, stock on the Multi-site plan and reports. If you need card payments through an internet outage or a drawer that opens itself, keep your EPOS and run Café QR next to it. A Square till can be linked so paid orders are pushed to it.

Do we need special hardware? Does it work on an iPad?

No special hardware, and yes. It runs in the browser on an iPad, an Android tablet, a phone or a laptop. A card reader (Stripe Terminal, UK) and a kitchen printer (Star or Epson) are optional extras you buy yourself, and you can take card on your own machine and record it on the till.

Where does the money go?

Payments are processed on your own connected Stripe account, with your café as the merchant. Stripe pays out to your bank according to your account’s payout schedule and settlement timing.

What happens if the Wi-Fi drops?

Service carries on. The till keeps taking cash, and any payment types of your own, and uploads those sales when the connection is back. Card payments, tabs, manager approvals, QR table ordering and online orders wait for the connection, so a phone hotspot is the simplest backup for those.

Is our data and our money safe?

Card payments go through your own Stripe account, so the money never passes through us and card numbers are handled by Stripe, not stored by Café QR. Every member of staff signs in as themselves with a role you choose, and refunds, discounts and the cash drawer can be set to need a manager's PIN.
