## Description

FloCafe is a free, open-source point-of-sale program for cafés, restaurants, bakeries, and food trucks. The application runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux as a desktop Electron app, keeping all orders, customer data, receipts, and backups in a local SQLite database on the business's own equipment — no internet connection or cloud account is necessary for everyday operation. Capabilities include a touch-friendly checkout, configurable drink and dish modifiers, a live kitchen display with Kanban ticket tracking, visual floor plans showing table turnover, a mobile browser-based waiter app for tableside ordering, split payments and multi-tender handling, ingredient and supply tracking with recipe portions, and thermal receipt printing on 58mm or 80mm printers via USB, network, or Bluetooth. Staff roles are protected by Master PIN codes. The interface comes in 25 languages with RTL support, over a hundred country profiles with many currencies, signed country tax packs, automated database backups with optional remote storage sync, customer loyalty and CRM features, and daily sales exports. Optional integrations cover remote backup, WhatsApp bill delivery, and online reporting, all opt-in. You can install it via Windows installers, macOS DMGs, Linux AppImage/deb/rpm/Snap packages, or through the Mac App Store, Microsoft Store, and Snap Store. The codebase uses the MIT license and is actively maintained by the FreeOpenSourcePOS organization (Codify Apps Private Limited).
