Bar and café staff app: your bar under control, even when you are away
In a café, a shortage at the bar usually shows up at the end of the month, when it is too late. Smarter HoReCa makes it visible straight away: at every bar handover, from the bar ledger and from your POS export, with the quantity and the amount.
How Smarter HoReCa helps
Blind bar handover
The outgoing and the incoming bartender count the same items, each on their own phone, without seeing the other's numbers. If a difference remains after a recount, the manager gets an alert with the amount.
Bar and kitchen ledger from a photo
Take a photo of the handwritten ledger, AI reads the table, you check the rows, and the app calculates consumption and differences in money.
Stock from your POS export
Import a CSV or Excel export from any POS, AI recognises the columns and the app warns you before you run out. Your POS and fiscal system stay as they are.
Checklists for every position
Each worker sees the tasks of their shift on their phone in order: opening, during the shift, closing. One tap per task, with at least 3 minutes between two ticks, so nobody ticks everything at the end.
AI photo check at a random moment
Three times per shift the app asks for a photo of one task, at a moment nobody knows in advance. AI checks that the photo matches the task and rejects blurry, old and reused pictures.
Fair tip sharing
The manager enters the day's tips and picks a split rule, hours come from the shifts, and every worker sees their share and confirms it or raises an objection.
Nightly report for the owner
After 23:30 you get a short summary of the day in the app and by email: money at risk, differences, unfinished shifts. If everything is fine, the message is short.
Frequently asked questions
How does a blind handover prevent theft?
Both bartenders count the same items, each on their own phone, without seeing the other's numbers. “Just write what I wrote” no longer works, and a remaining difference goes to the manager with the amount.
How much does it cost for a café?
Caffé Starter is €49 a month (early-bird price for the first 50 venues per country) plus a one-off €99 setup, for up to 10 staff: bar, floor and cleaning.
Do I need to change my POS?
No. Keep your POS; the app only imports its export (CSV or Excel) for stock and alerts.
