POS Cafe adds cafe-ready ordering to Shopify: detailed modifiers, tickets routed to every prep area, open tabs, and an online ordering menu that shares your in-store products.
At the counter
Your team takes cafe orders in the Shopify POS they already know. Sizes, milks, extras, and their charges are captured in a few taps, with no second system to learn or reconcile.
Every sale lands in the same Shopify products, orders, and reports you use for the rest of your business.
For your customers
Add an ordering menu to your Shopify store using the same products and modifiers you sell in store.
Customers customise their drinks, choose pickup now or later, and pay through Shopify checkout. Their order prints at the right prep area, just like a counter sale.
The same menu can also run on Cloudshelf self-service kiosks in your cafe.
Core features
The three workflows cafes rely on every shift, all inside Shopify POS.
Build flexible modifier sets for sizes, milks, extras and more, optional or required, multi-select, and extra charges. Your team captures every preference in a couple of taps.
Send each item to the right station, barista, kitchen, or sandwich bar, on paper tickets or Fresh KDS screens the moment the order is placed.
Run open tabs on Shopify draft orders with dining areas and table numbers. Send each new round to prep with one tap, then settle up when the table is ready.
Also included
Supporting tools for printing, table ordering, discounts, and keeping your online menu accurate.
Print order tickets on Epson Server Direct Print and Star CloudPRNT printers, with no print server to maintain.

Honestly couldn’t recommend POS Cafe and the team more.
For FoH, the intuitiveness of the app meant that my staff got to grips with it in one shift, with customers none the wiser of any change to the till.
The truth is, POS Cafe works - but what’s truly the gem here are its founders.
After a long search for an app to manage our café locations that would actually run well on Shopify POS, I came across the founders of POS Cafe.
This app solves where Shopify falls short and makes it a home run.
I love Shopify but didn’t feel like it was possible to use for a coffee shop until I saw this app.
Highly recommend this app if you are running a cafe using Shopify POS.
It has made inputting orders so much easier and when paired with Fresh KDS you very easily have a fully automated ordering system, removing all those paper tickets.
Super happy with the service and support.
Setup was straightforward, and although we ran into a small issue where the system wasn’t updating on the POS app, the support team responded quickly and resolved it within 10-15 minutes.
POS Cafe has improved my tea-ristas’ and the chef’s accuracy in preparing customer orders.
The app is intuitive and powerful, but what truly sets it apart is its developers who care about small businesses.

No. POS Cafe runs inside the Shopify POS app on the devices you already use. Ticket printers and kitchen screens are optional extras you can add when you’re ready.
POS Cafe prints order tickets to Epson printers via Server Direct Print and Star printers via CloudPRNT. Both are cloud protocols, so no print server is required. You can also connect Fresh KDS kitchen displays.
Yes. Essential covers one POS location, and Growth, Expansion, and Enterprise cover 2 to 20. Store hours, product collections, and printers are set separately for each location.
Online ordering is a block you add to a page in your theme editor, so it works with any theme that supports app blocks, including Shopify’s free themes. You can match its colours, layout, and corners to your brand.
Only if you want them to. Modifier options are Shopify products, so items sold with the POS Cafe tile record each option against its own product, ready for stock tracking and reports. Most cafes leave inventory tracking off for options like milks and syrups. The POS Cafe - Lite tile adds custom sales, which Shopify doesn’t track.
Our step-by-step guides walk you through setup, and our support team answers setup questions by email. For hands-on help, our recommended partners can set up and customise POS Cafe for you.
Every plan includes email support. Send us a message from the support page and we’ll get back to you quickly.
