Your POS shouldn’t charge rent just to keep your business running
Running a restaurant is already full of recurring costs: rent, staff, ingredients, utilities, payment fees, and equipment.
The software you use to take an order shouldn’t become another permanent tax on staying open.
That’s the idea behind FloPOS and FloCafe:
• Free forever for the core POS
• No monthly subscription
• Open-source code you can inspect
• Local-first data that stays under your control
• Useful workflows for orders, billing, kitchen displays, staff, reporting, loyalty, and backups
We’re not trying to lock business owners into a platform. We’re trying to make dependable restaurant software something you can actually own.
The project is improving almost every day. Recent work has made decimal totals more accurate, strengthened desktop security, improved release verification, and expanded tax handling.
There is still plenty in the pipeline, and we’ll share the useful parts here as they land.
If you run a café or restaurant, which recurring software fee would you most like to eliminate?
