Is CafeFlow's restaurant POS software truly free?
Yes. CafeFlow restaurant POS software has a ₹0/month software subscription forever. All modules—including interactive table floor plans, multi-station KOT printing, kitchen displays (KDS), and recipe inventory—are 100% unlocked with zero upfront licensing contracts and zero cancellation penalties.
How does the pricing model work if software subscriptions are free?
CafeFlow eliminates fixed monthly SaaS retainers. In India, a transparent micro-fee of ₹1 per order applies (paid by the customer or absorbed by the restaurant depending on your configuration). This ensures you only pay when your restaurant actually conducts business.
Can I connect thermal receipt and kitchen KOT printers?
Yes. CafeFlow connects directly to standard 58mm and 80mm ESC/POS thermal printers via USB, Wi-Fi LAN, or Bluetooth. You can route appetizer orders to the bar printer and main courses to the kitchen line simultaneously.
Does CafeFlow support split bills and multiple payment methods?
Yes. Waitstaff can easily split table checks equally or by individual items. It supports mixed payment settlements including Cash, dynamic UPI QR codes (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), and Credit/Debit cards.
