Who

Coffee shops, bakeries, juice bars, anywhere the customer stands at a counter and waits for a number.

The problem today

Restaurant software assumes tables. A counter has no tables, it has a queue, an order number and a collection point.

The screens only this trade gets

The tools of your trade, not a generic form.

On top of the accounting, sales, stock and people every business gets, this is what Orbit adds for your work.

The counter screen

One screen from tap to receipt, built for a queue and not a floor plan, so the line keeps moving.

Order numbers and collection

Every order gets a number the customer listens for, and a collection board shows what is ready without anyone shouting across the room.

Menu tiles with photos

Tap a picture, not a code. Categories and modifiers keep a fast counter fast.

Loyalty, gift cards and plans

Reward regulars, sell gift cards and wallets, and run a subscription for the daily coffee, all against the same customer.

And the whole company underneath

This is one part of a system that runs the whole business.

The trade screens above sit on the same core every Orbit company gets, so the work and the books are never two systems.

The moneyDouble-entry accounting, invoicing, payments, VAT and the reports an accountant asks for.
The workQuotes, orders, purchasing, multi-warehouse stock and projects, all tied to the ledger.
The peopleEmployees, attendance, leave and payroll, with roles down to the record.
The platformApprovals, your own fields and words, an audit trail, and your brand on every print.

Answers

Questions people in your trade ask.

Is there a coffee shop point of sale with order numbers?
Yes. Orbit gives every order a number the moment it is rung up, shows it on a collection board when it is ready, and fires it to the kitchen or bar display at the same time, so a counter runs on a queue instead of a floor plan.
How do I take payment in dollars and lira at the same till?
Orbit is dual-currency at the point of sale. You can take part of a payment in dollars and part in lira on one order, and the drawer is counted per currency when you close the session.
Is there a cafe loyalty and gift card system?
Yes. Loyalty points, gift cards, wallets and subscription plans all run against the same customer and the same till, so the tenth coffee, the gift card balance and the monthly plan are all in one place.

See Orbit on your own numbers.

Ring three drinks through the counter screen, hand over the number, and show it appear on the collection board and the kitchen display at once.
