Built for food service
From espresso bars to full-service floors, FloPOS keeps the line moving.
Restaurants need more than a pretty checkout screen. FloPOS brings the daily stack together: orders, tables, kitchen flow, receipts, menus, staff roles, stock signals, and local data control.
Restaurants and QSRs
Run tables, open tickets, kitchen status, discounts, payments, and the handoff from front counter to back of house.
Bakeries and food trucks
Keep selling from a focused menu without dragging a subscription bill behind every loaf, slice, or street-service shift.
Owners and builders
Inspect the code, keep the data close, customize what matters, and stop waiting for a vendor roadmap to save the day.
Batteries included
The boxes are checked before you even open the cash drawer.
FloPOS covers the core restaurant workflow without selling every useful feature as a separate upgrade. Download it, add your menu, connect your setup, and run the floor your way.
Fast order taking
Dine-in, takeaway, delivery, modifiers, discounts, split payments, and receipts are ready out of the box. Less tab-hopping, more table-turning.
Tables and open tickets
Keep every table, tab, and counter order visible so service does not depend on memory, sticky notes, or heroic guessing.
Kitchen Display System
Send orders to the kitchen screen in real time. Chefs see what is new, what is cooking, and what needs attention without chasing paper.
Receipt and kitchen printing
Connect ESC/POS receipt and kitchen printers for the classic restaurant hardware stack. Print bills, tickets, and customer receipts without a monthly add-on.
Menu management
Build categories, products, variants, addons, toppings, and prices once, then sell from a menu your staff can actually move through quickly.
Staff access
Give owners, admins, cashiers, and kitchen users the right level of access. Keep service fast while keeping sensitive settings out of the wrong hands.
Your data stays with you
FloPOS uses local SQLite storage, so your sales and operating data live under your control instead of being locked inside a vendor cloud.
Stock awareness
Track item availability and low-stock signals before the rush turns a missing ingredient into an awkward conversation.
Desktop deployment
Run FloPOS on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Download it, install it, load your menu, and get moving.
Own the till
Your restaurant data should not need permission to come home.
FloPOS is open source and stores operational data locally with SQLite, so sales history, menus, staff setup, and service records stay under your control. That is a practical security advantage: fewer vendor lock-in surprises, clearer backup choices, and code you can inspect.
Use the app, review the source, back up your database, and decide who gets access. It is your restaurant. The POS should act like it.

FAQ
Common questions
What is FloPOS?
FloPOS is a free, open-source restaurant POS for cafes, restaurants, bakeries, food trucks, cloud kitchens, bars, and quick-service teams. It includes ordering, tables, menus, kitchen display, receipt printing, staff access, and local data storage.
Is it really free forever?
Yes. FloPOS is MIT licensed open-source software. There is no software subscription, license meter, or paywall to unlock the core POS.
Can I just download it and start?
Yes. Download FloPOS, install it, load your menu, and start testing your service flow. For live service, still verify your taxes, printers, backups, staff roles, and hardware setup.
Why is it secure?
FloPOS gives you a strong privacy and control advantage because your operating data stays with you by default in local SQLite storage. You decide where backups go and who has access.
Where is the source code?
The source code is public on GitHub at github.com/FreeOpenSourcePOS/FloCafe, so restaurants and developers can inspect it, audit it, fork it, and improve it.
