The POS system built for cafés
A café lives on the morning rush and its regulars. Karma is built for both: a till that rings up a latte in one tap, and a loyalty program that recognizes guests by the card they pay with, no app or plastic card needed.
- We guide you through the installation and make sure you're up and running
- Works on tablets, computers, phones and payment terminals
- Always the latest version, the system updates itself
- Trouble mid-service? Answers in minutes, not tomorrow
Built for the morning rush
Between seven and nine, the day is decided. Karma's POS has quick keys for what sells the most, so a coffee and a bun are rung up in a couple of taps and payment goes straight to the terminal. If the kitchen or barista needs a ticket, it arrives the same second, on a printer or a screen. And if you want to cut the line entirely, guests can order themselves via QR code or kiosk, in the same order queue as the till.
- Quick keys for the best sellers, a whole order in a couple of taps
- Tickets to the kitchen and barista, on printers or screens
- QR ordering and kiosks land in the same order queue as the till
- Discounts, gift cards and split bills included, of course
Regulars are the business
A café is built by guests who come back every day. Karma's loyalty program recognizes regulars automatically by the card they pay with: no apps to download, no plastic cards to stamp. Points, rewards and campaigns run themselves in the POS, and analytics show which rewards actually bring guests back more often.
Sell the pastries instead of binning them
Every café knows it: a counter of buns and sandwiches that didn't sell before closing. With Karma Save, the surplus is listed to the app's users and sold at a discount instead of being thrown away. It's included at no extra cost for all POS customers. The bakery chain Gateau has sold surplus worth millions of kronor through Karma Save and cut its carbon footprint by 70 tonnes.
From one café to a chain
Karma works just as well for a single café as for a chain. If you run several locations, you change the menu in one place and it rolls out everywhere at once, or only where you want. You see sales per location or for the whole business in real time, and prices and campaigns are managed centrally.
What does a café POS cost?
Our recommended packages land around the prices on the pricing page. If you only want one part, for example the POS or the loyalty program, you get a quote for your setup. Selling surplus via Karma Save is included at no extra cost for all customers.
Cafés are one of several setups Karma is built for. The whole platform, with POS, ordering, loyalty and analytics for every kind of restaurant, lives on the Karma POS page. Running fast food? See the fast food POS.
