FloCafe KDS

KDS purpose: FloCafe connects front-of-house orders to a kitchen screen showing live tickets, prep status, table context, modifiers, notes, and timing signals.
Ticket details: The KDS can show table, order type, items, modifiers, notes, and elapsed time on tickets.
Station views: Kitchen staff can use a full kitchen board or filter tickets by prep station, such as grill, cold, drinks, or expo.
Printer fallback: The maker recommends testing the KDS together with kitchen order ticket printing, network recovery, and reprint behavior, and notes that many teams keep kitchen printing as a backup.
Product scope: FloCafe is a restaurant POS that includes kitchen display alongside dine-in, takeaway, delivery, tables, printing, menus, and local data.
Integrations: The optional OrderFlow service brings orders from Zomato, Swiggy, and other aggregators into the POS workflow.
Data control: The maker says it does not operate a central cloud database for restaurant data, and that sales, customer, menu, inventory, and business report data stay under the operator’s control.
Optional telemetry: Anonymous launch and usage pings are enabled by default in FloCafe, can be turned off in Settings, and exclude business data such as sales, orders, menus, customers, staff, and payment details.
Support: The site lists email support at [email protected] and says FloCafe can raise a support ticket through an optional cloud connection.
License and warranty: FloCafe is MIT-licensed open-source software provided as is without warranty, and operators are responsible for testing, backups, access control, legal compliance, hardware compatibility, and production use.
Intended users: FloCafe is intended for businesses and their staff, and the maker says it is a fit for teams that value open-source code, local control, and the ability to adapt the system.
Desktop downloads: The download page lists GitHub releases and store installs for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
