BelloPOS for your trade

Free POS for cafes and coffee shops

Counter, terrace and takeaway: a till fast enough for the morning rush, free to start with.

Free download for Windows · checking the latest release… · works offline

Coffee is a volume trade: the queue at 8am judges your till by how few taps it takes to ring a cortado and a croissant. BelloPOS puts your regulars' orders one press away, keeps the terrace tables open alongside the counter, and prints the ticket while the cup is still being made.

It runs offline on an ordinary Windows PC or Mac, so a dropped connection never turns into a paper-and-pen morning. The free lifetime licence covers everything a counter needs (sales, receipts, stock and printer setup), which makes it a real free point of sale for a cafe in Morocco, not a trial that expires.

What you get

Built for the rush

Favourite items sit on the front grid, so the drinks you sell hundreds of times a day are a single tap. Take the next order while the last one prints.

Counter, terrace and takeaway together

Keep open tabs for the terrace while walk-ups pay immediately at the counter, and tell the two apart at the end of the day.

Receipt printer and cash drawer

Connect a thermal receipt printer and a cash drawer that opens on payment. Tickets carry your own header, and a shift close counts the drawer against what the till recorded.

Stock that follows the counter

Beans, milk, syrups and pastries come off stock as they sell, so you order on real numbers instead of a guess on Sunday night.

Every way your customers pay

South Africans still pay with cash, but tap, QR codes and instant EFT are growing fast. BelloPOS records each payment by method so your cash-up balances, while the money itself goes through the card machine or app you already use.

Cash, with change worked out and a cash drawer that opens on the sale
Card and tap, on your own card machine from your bank or provider
QR payments such as SnapScan and Zapper, recorded as their own method
EFT and instant payments such as PayShap, for larger orders
Split payments, for example part cash and part card
Customer accounts (the book), where regulars pay later, in Go and above
Open and close each shift with a float and an X/Z report

BelloPOS does not connect to card machines or process payments itself. The customer pays on your existing card machine or app, and you record the method and amount in BelloPOS.

Questions merchants ask

How fast is an order?

Your top sellers are one tap on the product grid, payment is a second, and the receipt prints while the drink is made. Nothing waits on a network call.

Can I run the terrace on tabs and the counter on instant payment?

Yes. Open tabs for tables and take immediate payment at the counter, in the same till and the same day's totals.

What does it cost?

The Lite plan is free for life. Paid plans add purchases, table service and the customer screen, and are sold as a lifetime licence or month by month, with no automatic renewal.
