Café software built by someone who ran the counter.
POS Dost handles billing, the kitchen screen, stock, staff and your delivery platforms — in one place, in plain language. We started building it because the systems we were paying for kept getting in the way.
Testing is going well and we're lining up pilot cafés now. Free while you pilot, and no commitment at the end of it.
Testing, and it's going well
The full system is built and we're putting it through its paces — billing, kitchen, stock, payouts, the lot. Fewer surprises every week.
Pilot cafés
A small group of real cafés and restaurants running it daily, with us on the other end of the phone. We're taking names for this now.
Open launch
General availability, with pricing published and everything the pilot taught us already fixed.
Why we started
Four things that annoyed us enough to build our own
Bills stop when the internet does
Most cloud billing goes dark with the Wi-Fi. Ours keeps taking orders on the device and syncs them once you're back online.
Stock lives in a diary
Purchases in one notebook, waste in another, and no idea what a dish really costs. Recipes and stock movements sit inside the same system as your billing.
A tablet per delivery app
Menu edited three times, three sets of payouts to check. We push the menu out and reconcile settlements from one screen.
Software built for a chain, sold to a café
Twelve fields to save one item. We cut the billing screen down to what a cashier during a rush can actually use.
Runs the counter
Billing that doesn't stop when the Wi-Fi does
Tap items, add a customer if they want the bill on their phone, settle in cash, card or UPI. If the connection drops mid-rush, the counter keeps working on the device and syncs once you're back online.
Runs the kitchen
A screen for the kitchen instead of a printer
Orders land as tickets, colour coded by pending, preparing and ready. Staff tap an item to move it along. You can set up separate stations and route items to each.
Runs the numbers
What a dish costs, not just what it sells for
Link ingredients to a dish and the system works out its cost, profit and margin. Purchases, stock movements and waste sit in the same place, so month-end isn't guesswork.
The whole thing
16 parts, one login
Billing counter
The screen your cashier lives on. Tap items, add the customer if they want a bill on their phone, settle in cash, card or UPI.
Orders
Every bill in one list — what is pending, what is done, what was paid how.
Menu & pricing
Your items and categories, edited in one place instead of five.
Kitchen display
A screen for the kitchen instead of a printer. Orders arrive as tickets and the staff taps items as they go.
Tables & reservations
A floor plan you can actually read, and a simple booking list.
Stock & recipes
Where most cafés lose money quietly. Track what you buy, what a dish actually costs, and what gets thrown away.
Customers & loyalty
Who keeps coming back, and a points scheme you set up yourself.
Campaigns & coupons
Send an offer to your customers and give it a code that works at the counter.
Staff, attendance & payroll
Employee records, hours and salary in the same system as the billing.
Expenses & reports
Sales on one side, spending on the other, so the month-end number isn't a surprise.
Delivery platforms
One place to push your menu out and pull orders in, instead of a separate tablet per platform.
Payout reconciliation
Import a platform's settlement statement and compare it against what that platform owed you.
GST & records
The paperwork side, kept boring on purpose.
Voice ordering & assistant
Two experimental tools. We are being upfront: these are early and they are not the reason to buy this.
Five languages
The whole app — not just the receipt — switches language. Your cashier doesn't have to work in English because the software does.
Outlets, roles & look
Set it up once for your business, not for a generic one.
In your language
Your staff shouldn't have to work in English.
The whole app switches language — the billing screen, the kitchen display and the back office, not just the receipt. Each person picks their own, so the counter can run in Tamil while you read the reports in English.

Where we actually are
We'd rather you hear this from us than find out later.
The software is built and running
Every screenshot on this site is from our working build. It's filled with test data, which is why the names are blurred.
Testing is going well
We're working through it module by module and the list of problems keeps getting shorter. It's stable enough to put in a real kitchen — which is the next step.
It hasn't run a real café for a year yet
Tested, not yet battle-tested. That's exactly what the pilot is for.
Delivery platform links need approval
The Swiggy, Zomato and ONDC integrations are built, but each platform has to approve the connection. We're working through that.
Voice and AI are early
The voice ordering understands short commands today. It's a side feature, not the pitch.
Pricing isn't set
We're not quoting a number we'd have to walk back. The pilot is free, and pilot cafés get a locked-in early price when we do start charging.
Open launch is planned for 2027
Before then it's pilots only, run with us closely rather than sold off a shelf.
Run your café on it before anyone else does.
Testing is going well, so we're ready to put it in real kitchens. We're taking on a small number of cafés and restaurants as pilots ahead of the 2027 launch — one outlet or several, new place or twenty years old.
What you get
- Free to use for the whole pilot — no card, no commitment
- We set it up with your menu, your stock items and your staff, not a demo dataset
- A direct line to us, not a ticket queue
- Your feedback goes into the build. At this stage it genuinely changes what we ship
- A locked-in early price when we do start charging
What we ask back
- 1Use it for real billing, not just a look around
- 2Tell us when it annoys you — especially the small things
- 3A short call every couple of weeks
That's the whole deal. No lock-in, no notice period, and you can walk away mid-pilot with your data exported.
