MercadoBotCafePOS

A management system for cafés, bars and restaurants

CafePOS connects your menu, table orders, kitchen and bar. Waiters take orders on a phone, staff receive their items, and the owner manages the menu and team access.

How to set up CafePOS

  1. 1

    Discuss your venue

    We review dining areas, staff roles, kitchen and bar stations, devices and printers.

  2. 2

    Prepare the menu and workstations

    We set up categories and items, branding, team access and print routing.

  3. 3

    Check the complete order flow

    We go from table selection to service and bill closure, check the equipment and introduce your team to the system.

Setup scope and pricing

We agree the scope and cost before launch, based on your venue, equipment and integrations. New venues are currently onboarded with the MercadoBot team.

Discuss setup

Before you get started

Which devices do we need?

Work screens run in a browser on phones, tablets and computers. An Android 8+ app is available for a kitchen or bar station. We choose the device setup around your venue’s workflow.

Which printers are supported?

CafePOS supports station order tickets and guest bills. Bluetooth printing is available in the Android app. We check the specific printer model and connection method before launch.

What happens without internet?

Previously loaded menu, tables, recent bills and a local order draft remain available. Sending orders, payments, printing and status updates require a connection. Once connected again, staff submit the draft manually.

Can we transfer our existing menu?

Categories, dishes, prices and photos can be entered in the editor. We review your source material and agree a transfer method during setup. Your team checks the items and prices before launch.

Can we connect multiple venues?

Each new venue is discussed separately. A shared chain dashboard and self-service venue registration are not yet available.

Can guests place orders themselves?

Guest ordering is a separate option enabled by the owner. The menu can also work as a browse-only catalogue, with a waiter taking the order.

Does this replace a fiscal cash register?

Printing a guest bill or internal order ticket does not by itself provide fiscal compliance. Local requirements and any fiscal integrations are discussed separately.

How do we get support?

Contact the MercadoBot team in Telegram to discuss setup or a question about the system. Support channels and terms are agreed during onboarding.
