F&BosCafé POS that finds the margin hiding in the milk
A cappuccino carries a high gross margin, yet most cafés net a fraction of it. F&Bos bills every drink with its modifiers, deducts milk and beans by recipe, and shows your beverage-versus-food mix so you know where the margin goes.
The margin paradox
Espresso drinks carry very high gross margins, but rent, baristas and wasted milk take most of it before it reaches the owner. Well-run cafés protect three things: the share of beverages in sales, the milk that goes into each cup, and a daily reconciliation.
F&Bos puts all three in front of you: the beverage mix on the dashboard, milk deducted by recipe so over-pouring shows up the same day, and day-end reconciliation across cash, UPI and card. Our café profit margins guide has the full benchmarks.
What F&Bos does for a café
Every drink, one item
Size, milk, sugar and extra shots as modifiers, so you don't need hundreds of menu items.
Recipe-linked milk deduction
Each drink deducts its milk and beans as it is billed, so over-pouring shows up the day it happens.
Beverage vs food mix
The dashboard shows the share of beverages, your highest-margin category, in daily sales.
Loyalty for regulars
Loyalty points and WhatsApp campaigns bring daily regulars back.
Cash, UPI and card
Split payments on one bill, with day-end reconciliation and offline billing.
From order to day-end
Set up drinks and recipes
One item per drink with modifiers, and recipes for milk, beans and syrups.

Common questions
Can I handle drink variations without hundreds of items?
Yes. Modifiers for size, milk, sugar and extra shots let you build any drink from one base item.
Does it track milk usage?
Yes. Recipe-linked deduction takes the milk for each drink out of stock as it is billed, so you can compare usage with sales.
Can I see beverage vs food sales?
Yes. The dashboard shows your beverage-versus-food mix, so you can protect your highest-margin category.
Is there a loyalty programme?
Yes. Pro includes guest CRM, loyalty points and WhatsApp campaigns. See restaurant CRM.
What happens if the internet goes down?
F&Bos keeps billing during internet outages and syncs your data when the connection returns, so service doesn't stop mid-rush.
How much does it cost?
Basic is ₹6,000 per outlet per year, Pro ₹15,000 and Enterprise ₹15,000–24,000 per outlet for 3 or more outlets, all excluding 18% GST. See pricing.
