Does Snad suit a small cafe with a single till?

Yes, and it fits that case particularly well, because you get the till, stock and accounting in one subscription rather than three systems. The free plan is enough to start and try, and you move to Basic when you need ZATCA-compliant invoicing.

How do I handle sizes and add-ons?

Through variants inside a single item: define the latte once, then add sizes, milk options and extras, each with its own price and cost. That keeps your menu short and your reports readable — unlike defining every combination as its own item, which turns a twenty-item menu into a hundred and twenty.

Does the system calculate the cost per cup?

Yes, by linking the item to its ingredients: a latte deducts set quantities of coffee, milk, a cup and a lid. That gives you the item's real rather than estimated cost — the figure that often reveals your best-selling item is among your least profitable.

Does it work with my current hardware?

Snad runs from a browser and a phone with no mandatory hardware, so you can start on a tablet or computer you already own. A receipt printer and a barcode scanner are optional additions you buy if you need them, not a condition for starting.

Do I need table management in a cafe?

Not if you sell from the counter alone. Tables are an optional unit you switch on to follow long sittings and how long they run.

POS and accounting for cafes and coffee shops

A cafe is not a small restaurant: its bills are smaller and far more numerous, and a single item branches into sizes, milk types and add-ons that change both price and cost. Snad brings the till, stock, accounting and e-invoicing into one system built around that.

A fast ordering screen

Best sellers up front, and an order completed in a handful of taps. At the morning peak the till operator's time is the real constraint, not anything else.

ZATCA-compliant invoices

A simplified invoice with a QR code, printed or sent to the customer, meeting e-invoicing requirements from the Basic plan onwards.

Sizes and add-ons inside the item

Small, medium and large; regular or lactose-free milk; an extra espresso shot — variants inside one item rather than separate items that wreck your reports.

Recipe ingredients deducted

A latte deducts coffee, milk, a cup and a lid from stock, so you know the true cost per cup and when the beans will run out before they do.

Peak-hour and item reports

Which hour sells most, and which item earns the highest margin rather than the highest count. The two are rarely the same item, and the gap decides your menu.

Shifts and your team

Baristas and cashiers with their own accounts and permissions, and their salaries and bonuses in the HR app inside the same system.

Optional tables for sittings

Sell from the counter as usual, and switch tables on for the long sittings alone when you want them.

A day in the cafe

From the first order to the shift close — in one system with no double entry

1Opening the shiftThe cashier opens the shift with a recorded opening cash balance, so any difference at close has a known source rather than being a mystery.
2Order and paymentPick the item, its size and its add-ons, then take cash or card. The simplified invoice with its QR code is issued at that same moment.
3Stock deducted automaticallyEvery sale deducts the recipe ingredients from the store — no manual count at the end of the day to work out what was used.
4Reorder alertsWhen coffee or milk reaches its reorder point you get an alert, so you buy before running out rather than after a barista apologises to a customer.
5Shift close and the entryThe shift report compares expected against counted and creates the accounting entry automatically. Revenue and cost reach your books with no figures moved by hand.
