FloPOS FAQ
Use these answers to quickly understand FloPOS before you spend time installing or comparing it with other restaurant POS systems.
How to think about this
Start with the restaurant workflow, not a feature checklist.
A restaurant POS affects order accuracy, staff training, payment flow, printer reliability, kitchen communication, reporting, and how managers recover from mistakes. The right question is not “does it have many features?” but “does it make daily service easier and safer?”
Ask whether staff can complete common tasks quickly, whether your hardware works, whether your data can be backed up, who fixes problems during service, and what happens when the internet is unreliable.
FloCafe fit
FloCafe is best evaluated as an open-source restaurant POS foundation. It is most relevant when source access, local control, and freedom from license fees matter.
Evaluation checklist
Test it like a live restaurant system.
Before relying on any POS, run the exact workflows your staff will use during service.
Hardware
Test receipt printers, kitchen printers, screens, scanners, cash drawers, and the network they depend on.
Operations
Confirm staff roles, backups, restore process, update plan, and how issues will be reported through GitHub.
Where FloCafe fits
Useful when ownership and transparency matter.
Public project materials describe workflows for dine-in, takeaway, delivery, table management, modifiers and addons, multiple payment methods, invoice generation, KDS, KOT printing, kitchen stations, ESC/POS thermal printing, barcode lookup, staff roles, customer data, loyalty, WhatsApp e-billing, backup history, optional Google Drive backups, multilingual UI support, SQLite, Electron, Next.js, TypeScript, and WebSocket updates.
