Cafes and coffee shops

One screen that tells you the cafe was closed right.

A cafe runs on a crew of three and a machine that costs more than the van. Skorops turns the open, the close, the machine clean and the stock check into lists that get done and photographed.

Free for 14 days. No credit card required to start. Add a card any time to keep your account active after day 14.

What goes wrong without a system

Machine cleaning slips

Backflush, wands and grinders are skipped on a busy night, and the coffee tastes like it on Monday.

Stock runs out on Saturday

Nobody owns the count, so the order is a guess.

The close is a text message

A photo of a clean counter beats a message that says clean.

Cafes questions

Is Skorops too much for a three-person cafe?

No. Start with one closing checklist. Most cafes run the open, the close and a weekly machine clean, and nothing else.

Can I see the close from home?

Yes. Every completion is timestamped and any task can require a photo. The dashboard shows the close as it happens.

How much is it for a cafe?

From $197.99 per month per location, with unlimited staff. Annual billing is 10 percent less.

Do my staff need to install anything?

No. It works in the browser on any phone.

Can I add a second cafe later?

Yes. Add a location from your account and your subscription updates automatically.
