Cafe Buddy gives independent cafés and food vans a full online presence — orders, reservations, specials and payments — in minutes, not months. One flat monthly fee. Zero commission on every sale.
Built specifically for independent cafés and food vans — not adapted from some generic platform that doesn't understand your workflow.
Your specials screen runs full-screen on any smart TV browser — specials on the left, rotating food photos on the right. Auto-refreshes, no remote needed.
Customers book online. You get an instant email or SMS alert. Confirm, seat, or manage every booking from your dashboard on any device.
Upload images and videos, write captions, drag to reorder. Works like a premium gallery system — no technical knowledge required.
Customers are shown nearby cafés automatically. Your café appears to people searching in your suburb without any SEO effort on your part.
Food vans live and die by their lunch rush. Cafe Buddy lets your regulars pre-order and pay before they arrive — so you can have their order ready and keep the queue moving.
Other platforms charge 10–30% on every order. Cafe Buddy charges a flat monthly fee — that's it. Whether you do 10 orders a day or 200, your cost stays the same. The money goes into your Square or PayPal account, not ours.
"We used to lose 20% of every order to a delivery app. Now it goes straight into our Square account. The pre-order system means lunch rushes are actually manageable now."
No setup fees, no hidden charges, no lock-in contracts. Cancel any time.
Every plan includes a free 30-day trial. No credit card required to start.
"We're a food van and had no way to take pre-orders without paying crazy commissions. Cafe Buddy changed that. Our lunch queue is half the length it used to be — customers just show up and collect."
"The reservation alerts on my phone mean I never miss a booking, even when I'm in the kitchen. Setup was genuinely 20 minutes."
"Everything goes straight into our Square account — no reconciling, no manual entry. Our accountant is happier than we are, and that's saying something."
