How CafeFlow Pricing Works: Clear, Honest, and Transparent
CafeFlow was built on the conviction that cafe owners should never be weighed down by heavy, fixed monthly software subscriptions. Here is exactly how our business model operates, how we maintain sustainable cloud infrastructure, and what fees apply.
The Fundamental Guarantee
₹0/month software subscription forever. No setup fees. No annual maintenance contracts (AMC). No feature paywalls. No forced hardware bundles. An eligible order-level transaction fee applies, with payer configuration controlled by the cafe.
1. The Two Pillars of CafeFlow's Pricing Model
1. Zero Monthly Subscription Overhead
Whether you process 50 orders a day or 1,500 orders a day, CafeFlow will never charge you a monthly software license fee. This protects your margins during slow seasons, renovations, or launch phases.
2. Transparent Order-Level Fee
To sustainably operate global edge cloud servers and databases, an eligible micro-fee per completed order applies (for example, ₹1 in India or regional minor currency equivalents across 125 supported countries).
2. Who Pays the Order-Level Fee?
CafeFlow gives cafe operators the flexibility to decide how the order fee is handled:
Model A: Customer Convenience Fee (Default)
The small fee (e.g. ₹1) is transparently displayed on the customer's digital bill breakdown at checkout. The customer pays the fee directly. In this model, the cafe owner pays ₹0 out of pocket.
Model B: Cafe Absorbed Fee
Cafes that prefer all-inclusive customer pricing can choose to absorb the order fee internally. The fee is then settled from cafe operations without appearing as a separate line item on customer bills.
