The shift
Let the barista make the coffee.
Two on shift instead of three. Guests order and pay themselves — by QR. The barista makes the coffee.
The order shows on the screen at the machine. Or as a Telegram message, if you turn the bot on. Nobody taps the till. Nobody takes the order.

no queue at the counter
0
A queue makes the room tight and loud. People in the aisle, questions about the menu, waiting for the cup. Pre-order removes the queue. The room stays a café — not a waiting line in front of the machine.
Start
Three steps. Then you brew.
01
Add a place
Name, a rough menu, done. You change the rest later at the till.
02
Put the QR on the table
We send the QR to your café. Free, in a week, anywhere in the world. The guest scans and orders on the phone.
03
Brew
The order shows on the screen at the machine. Or as a Telegram message — if you turn the bot on. You read and brew.
The first € 1,000 we send to your account. After that, add your Stripe. Then card payments land with you — without us in between.
The tip stays on the phone. Not at the till.

R-Keeper, Lightspeed, Gastrofix — or whatever you call the box behind the bar. No subscription. No setup invoice. The only number: 0.25% of the order. On a €4 cappuccino that is 1 cent.

Where the idea comes from
Pre-order sounded crazy.
At Dodo Brands in Russia it was called Drinkit. First shop: Moscow, August 2020. Order in the app, pick a collection time — the cup is waiting. No cashier in a queue. No phone: kiosk.
Almost nobody in Austria knows the brand. The idea is the same: hot coffee at the door.

Chains already treat pre-order as the default. Independent cafés in Austria often still queue at the bar. You can run the same flow without becoming a Drinkit franchise.
