Setup
Up and running in minutes.
No networking expertise required. If you can follow a wizard and open a browser, you can run CafeManager.
Step 01

Install the Server

Run the server installer on any Windows PC. The wizard configures SQL Server Express, registers a Windows Service, and opens port 5080 — no manual setup.

Step 02

Set Up Customer PCs

Open a browser on each PC and download the client installer straight from your server's URL. Install once — it auto-starts at every logon and locks the desktop immediately.

Step 03

Manage the Dashboard

Open any browser on your LAN and go to your server IP. Start sessions, track billing, edit rate plans, and pull reports — all from a single Angular dashboard.

Features
Everything a cafe needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Built specifically for internet cafes — not adapted from generic IT software.

Real-time Floor Map

Live status tiles for every machine — Free, Active, Paused, Maintenance. Timers update every second. See the whole cafe at a glance.

Automated Billing

Walk-in and prepaid sessions with configurable rates, rounding rules, and minimum charges. Billing fires at stop — no mental math needed at the counter.

Kiosk Lockdown

Win key, Alt+Tab, and Task Manager — all blocked at the kernel level. Only a staff sign-in unlocks the desktop. Customers cannot exit the session timer.

Central Staff Credentials

Change the staff PIN once in the dashboard — it's pushed to every PC over the LAN instantly. No reinstalling, no SSH, no config files to edit per machine.

Offline Resilience

PCs keep timing and locking even when the server drops. Sessions sync and bill automatically on reconnect. After 3 minutes offline, the PC locks itself as a safeguard.

Reports & Export

Date-range session history, per-machine utilization bars, and revenue breakdowns — all computed instantly from your data. Export the full range to CSV in one click.
