What Restaurant & Cafe Manager does
Restaurant & Cafe Manager is an offline back-office app for independent restaurants, cafes, bakeries, food trucks and caterers. It costs every recipe, sorts dishes by popularity and margin, suggests orders by supplier from par levels, shows stock count variance in money, logs waste, and schedules the staff rota with labour cost in view. It runs offline on one computer, tablet or phone, and does not connect to your till.

Questions
Something else? Email us and we'll answer before you buy.
Where is my data stored? Is it private?
Everything is saved inside your browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account, so no company holds a copy of your recipes and costs. They are not encrypted, though: anyone who can use this device and browser can open them, so keep the device locked. Download a backup regularly (Settings → Data & backup → Back up now) and keep it somewhere as safe as the records themselves.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Open index.html and it runs fully offline. You can also host the folder on any website and choose “Install app” in Chrome or Edge to get a desktop or phone icon that works offline.
Can I use it on my phone or iPad?
Yes. The layout adapts to phones and tablets with a bottom navigation bar. Each device keeps its own data, so use Back up / Restore to move records between devices.
How do I start fresh after trying the sample data?
Go to Settings → Data & backup → Erase records. Your business profile and settings are kept; all sample records are removed.
Does it connect to my POS or till?
No — it works offline without any connections. Enter your daily totals and items sold from the till’s end-of-day report; it takes about a minute.
Can several people use it at the same time?
No. It is made for one person on one device, and records do not sync between devices. To move to another device, save a backup and restore it there.
Can customers book or pay online through it?
No. It runs offline on your own device, so there is no booking page for customers and it does not take card payments. You record bookings and payments in it yourself, including ones taken by phone, card reader or another website.
