Your website
Online ordering menu
A fast ordering menu on a page of your Shopify online store, on any device.
- Live prices and availability for each location
- Pickup now or scheduled for later
- Customers pay through Shopify checkout
Online ordering and kiosks
Take cafe orders online, at the table and at the kiosk
Add an ordering menu to your Shopify store, QR codes to your tables and Cloudshelf kiosks to your cafe, all from the menu you already sell in store. Every order reaches the kitchen like a counter sale.
Customers pay through Shopify checkout, in your store’s currency.
How it works
One menu for the counter and online
Your online menu, table QR codes and kiosks all use the products and modifiers you sell in store, so there’s only one menu to keep up to date.
Choose what’s on the menu
The online menu uses your POS Cafe collections, products and modifier sets. Each location can use your main menu or its own.
Add the menu to your store
Add the POS Cafe Online block to a page in your theme editor, then match its colours and layout to your brand.
Orders reach the kitchen
Customers pay through Shopify checkout, and each item goes to the printers and Fresh KDS screens for its prep area.
Ways to order
On your website, at the table, or at a kiosk
Offer one or all three. Orders from each go to the same printers and Fresh KDS screens.
At the table
Table QR ordering
A QR code on each table opens your menu already set to that location and table.
- Customers order and pay from their phone
- The order arrives with the table attached
- Download a whole area’s QR codes in one ZIP
In store
Cloudshelf kiosks
Self-service kiosks in your cafe, built on the same POS Cafe menu as your counter.
- No separate kiosk menu to maintain
- Customers choose sizes, milks and extras with their charges
- Kiosk orders print or reach Fresh KDS like any other order

Built for cafes
Everything a cafe menu needs
Live prices in every currency
Prices and availability come live from your store, correct for each Shopify market, and the cart follows the customer’s currency.
Modifiers, with their charges
Customers choose sizes, milks, syrups and extras from your modifier sets, with any extra charges added.
Order now or for later
Customers pick a time slot, 10, 15 or 30 minutes apart, after the prep time you set.
Hours for each location
Weekly opening hours and date overrides for holidays, shown in each location’s own time zone.
Every location, its own menu
Run several cafes from one store, each with its own menu, hours, order types and stock.
Stop selling what’s run out
Optional live sold-out updates take an item off sale at a location within seconds of it selling out.
Drive Thru and Curbside
Ask customers for their car, and show it on tickets and Fresh KDS so staff find the right one.
Your brand, your words
Match your colours, layout and corners in the theme editor, and translate or reword the menu for every language you sell in.
At checkout
Now or later, their way
In the cart, customers choose to order now or for later, and how they’ll collect it, from the order types each location offers.
Drive Thru and Curbside customers can add their car, so staff know which one to take the order to.
Questions
Online ordering questions
- Does it work with my Shopify theme?
- The menu is a block you add to a page in the theme editor, so it works with any theme that supports app blocks, including Shopify’s free themes. Learn more: Does it work with my Shopify theme?
- Do online orders print in the kitchen?
- Yes. Each item goes to the cloud receipt printers and Fresh KDS screens for its prep area at the location. A Shopify POS printer only prints orders taken on its own POS device. Learn more: Do online orders print in the kitchen?
- Do I need a separate menu for online orders?
- No. The online menu is built from the same collections, products and modifier sets as your counter. Choose which products are online with Shopify’s Online Store sales channel. Learn more: Do I need a separate menu for online orders?
- Can customers order ahead?
- Yes. Customers choose to order now or for later, and pick a time slot within the location’s opening hours, after your prep time. Learn more: Can customers order ahead?
- Can I offer pickup and local delivery with Zapiet?
- Yes. With the Zapiet integration, customers choose pickup or local delivery in Zapiet, and POS Cafe sends the order to the right location’s printers and screens. Shipping orders aren’t routed. Learn more: Can I offer pickup and local delivery with Zapiet?
- How do kiosks get my menu?
- POS Cafe shares each licensed location’s menu with Cloudshelf and republishes it when you change your menu settings, so there’s no separate kiosk menu to maintain. Learn more: How do kiosks get my menu?
