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.

How Zambia pays, and how you record it

BelloPOS does not process payments and is not connected to mobile money networks, banks or card machines. The customer pays the way they always do, and you pick the payment method on the sale, so every sale shows how it was paid. You can add your own payment methods to match how your shop gets paid.

Cash in kwacha, with change shown on screen and a cash drawer
Airtel Money, added as its own payment method
MTN MoMo, added as its own payment method
Zamtel Kwacha and bank app transfers
Debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) on your bank's own card machine
Any other method you take, added by you in a few clicks
Credit for regulars, settled at month-end or on payday (Go plan)
Accounts settled later by bank transfer for lodges, schools and companies (Go plan)

Because BelloPOS does not read your mobile money statements, check the sales recorded under each wallet against your Airtel Money, MTN MoMo or Zamtel statement at closing. A gap usually means a payment was recorded under the wrong method.

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.
