Coffee shop POS for the morning rush

Size, milk, shots, syrup, done. Ring a custom drink in seconds and keep the line moving from the door to the pickup counter.

A cafe register lives or dies on modifiers. Slimrate puts sizes, milks, and add-ons one tap from the drink, takes contactless payments fast, and gives regulars a reason to come back.

Custom drinks without the slowdown

Every drink carries its own modifier groups: size first, then milk, then shots and syrups. The barista sees exactly what was ordered on the ticket.

  • Required and optional modifier groups per drink
  • Modifier prices roll into the total automatically
  • Barista station printer with the full drink spec
  • Custom items for the off-menu order

Pastries, beans, and merch on the same register

The case, the retail shelf, and the drink menu share one product list, one stock count, and one report.

  • Recipes and ingredients behind drinks, so beans and milk move with every sale
  • Packaged goods and merch scanned by barcode
  • Sales by product report for the case and the shelf
  • Product lists come in by CSV import

  • Cash, custom tender types, and dual pricing when you use it
  • Full and partial refunds, comps, and voids with a reason on the audit trail
  • Customers earn points on every sale and spend them at checkout
  • Automatic discounts: buy-one-get-one, quantity, category, or scheduled

    Your drink menu and modifier groups, what the case sells, and what the 8 a.m. line looks like.

  2. We build the setup

    Your products, categories, taxes, tender types, and printers are configured by the Slimrate team before the hardware ships. Existing product lists come in by CSV import.

  3. Train the team

    Baristas learn modifiers and checkout on your menu; the owner learns reports and stock.

  4. Go live with support

    The first mornings run with the Slimrate team reachable; the daily report lands in your inbox at close.

Coffee shop POS questions

How are drink modifiers handled?

Each drink has its own modifier groups, required or optional, with prices that roll into the total. The full spec prints at the barista station.

Can regulars earn rewards?

Yes. Customers earn points on every sale and spend them at checkout. Gift cards are sold and redeemed at the register by card number, and a personal discount can be set per customer.

Can we sell beans and merch too?

Yes. Packaged goods scan by barcode and share the same product list, stock count, and reports as the drink menu.

Which payments can we take?

Card and contactless (tap-to-pay) through payment terminals from the Slimrate catalog, plus cash and any custom tender type you set up. Refunds, comps, and voids are logged with a reason.

Does it fit a small counter?

Yes. The compact setup is a small terminal, a payment terminal, and a receipt printer, with a barista printer where you make drinks.
