Product Overview

CafET

CafET is a cloud-native, three-tier operational backbone — Head Office System → Back Office System → Point of Sale — that unifies a nationwide franchise café network. It replaces standalone POS devices, spreadsheet inventory, informal loyalty and manual tax filing with a single governed enterprise system. Offline-first operation is a hard architectural constraint, not an optional feature.

A franchise network runs on a hundred tills that each go dark when the internet does — and every dark till is revenue that never gets counted. Inventory lives in spreadsheets that are wrong by lunchtime. Loyalty is a punch card. Tax filing is manual and late. Head office has no idea what a store sold until the numbers are reconciled days later, by which point the 1.5–3% of revenue leaking through miscounts, wastage and unrung sales is already gone.

CafET closes the network into one system. The POS tier guarantees 100% transaction continuity during connectivity loss, with billing, payments, promotions and loyalty all working offline. The back office runs store-level inventory, purchase orders, staff and compliance. Head office governs SKUs and recipes, pricing and promotions, devices and loyalty, and brings new stores live within five business days. Recipe-linked ingredient deduction targets sub-1% weekly inventory variance, wastage tracking controls food cost, and revenue-leakage controls address an estimated 1.5–3% of recoverable revenue. Automated tax computation and statutory e-invoicing keep filings clean, maker-checker workflows govern approvals, and head-office dashboards refresh within 60 seconds of every transaction.

It suits café and QSR chains, fuel-forecourt and travel retail, and multi-outlet F&B networks across any ownership mix.
