Everything you need to run the shop better
One platform from grinding the first dose of the morning to cashing up after the last cup.
Full Drinks Menu
Espresso, filter, cold brew, matcha, cake and toasties — categories, photos, sizes and prices. Change a price or add a special from behind the machine, on your phone.
Milk, Syrup & Shot Options
Oat, soya, skimmed. Decaf, extra shot, half-sugar, vanilla, hazelnut. Customers tap exactly what they want, and the barista screen shows it word for word.
Order at the Table
A QR code on every table, inside and out. Customers scan, order and pay without leaving their seat — and the order arrives tagged with the table number.
Order Ahead for Takeaway
Commuters order on the walk in and pick a collection time. The drink is on the hatch when they arrive — no queue, no waiting, no lost sale.
Printable Menus & Table Cards
Generate print-ready menus and table tent cards with QR codes. Pop them on tables, stick one in the window, tape one to the pavement A-board.
Live Barista Screen
Orders queue on your counter screen in the order they were placed. Tap to mark ready — no paper tickets, no shouted orders, nothing missed in the rush.
"Your Coffee Is Ready" Alerts
The customer gets a notification the moment their drink hits the hatch. No calling names over the grinder, no crowd bunching up at the counter.
Bean & Stock Control

Drive a screen or TV at the counter showing your giant QR code. Customers spot it in the doorway and start ordering before they reach the till.
Loyalty & Discount Codes
Percentage off, fixed amount, or a free filter. Perfect for a quiet Tuesday, rewarding the 7am regulars, or winning back the ones who drifted.
Works on Any Device
Run the whole shop from a £50 tablet on the back bar, a counter screen, or your phone. No specialist hardware — if it has a browser, it works.
Multiple Shops, One Account
Your menu, QR codes and order history live in the cloud. Open a second site, refit the room, or run a market stall — grab a tablet and carry on.
Never lose an order in the middle of the rush
Every paid order appears on the counter screen instantly, in the order it was placed — with the table number on sit-in orders and the collection time on takeaways. No paper tickets curling on the machine, no orders misheard over the grinder, no arguments about who was next. One tap marks it being made. Another marks it ready — and the customer’s phone buzzes the moment you do.

- ✓ Milk, syrup and shot choices printed word for word, exactly as tapped
- ✓ Table number on every sit-in order — inside or out on the terrace

Serve the 8am rush with the team you already have
When customers order and pay from their phone, your baristas stop being cashiers and go back to being baristas. The till stops being the bottleneck. The queue never forms. The machine never stops.
😰 Without CoffeesUp
- ✗The queue reaches the door and half of it walks back out again
- ✗One barista is stuck on the till while the machine sits idle
- ✗Orders shouted over the grinder — oat becomes soya, decaf becomes regular
- ✗Names called across the room, three people crowding the hatch
- ✗Table service means walking out to the terrace and back for every order
- ✗Customers wait five minutes just to be asked what they want
- ✗Repeat for every single customer, every single morning
🚀 With CoffeesUp
- ✓Customers scan the QR card the moment they sit down — or order on the walk in
- ✓Oat, decaf, extra shot, no syrup — captured in the customer's own taps
- ✓Paid in seconds on the phone — no card machine, no change, no float
- ✓The barista screen lights up instantly, tagged with the table number
- ✓Takeaways arrive the same way, timed for collection — nothing to answer
- ✓Both baristas stay on the machine, pulling shots and steaming milk
- ✓Nobody queues, so nobody walks back out again
Every customer can order at once

Table cards and wall menus — with a QR code on every drink

Go cashless — if you choose
CoffeesUp supports card, PayPal and Stripe — so if you want your shop to go fully cashless, you can. No float to count in at 7am, no bag to drop at the bank, and every payment traceable and reconciled against its order automatically. Or keep the till running for walk-ins alongside QR ordering — it’s entirely up to you.
Hygienic
Your baristas never handle cash between steaming milk and handing over a cup — no swapping gloves, no hand-washing between every order.
Secure
No cash walking out of the door. Every payment is digital, traceable and instantly reconciled against your orders.
Fast
Payment happens the moment the order is placed — no card machine to pass across the counter, no change to hunt for, no queue at the till.
Taking orders in 30 minutes
No developer. No engineer visit. No tech skills. Just four steps between the espresso machine and your first mobile order.

Register free. Your branded ordering page at yourname.coffeesup.co.uk goes live instantly.

Orders queue on the barista screen with table numbers attached, already paid. You just make the coffee.
What coffee shops are saying
“The 8am rush used to mean a queue to the door and one of us stuck on the till the whole time. Now people order on the walk in and both of us are on the machine. Same two staff, noticeably more coffees out.”
Sarah M.
Corner House Coffee
“We put a QR card on every table out on the pavement. Orders come through with the table number on them, so nobody has to walk out and back for every flat white. Saturdays are calm now.”
Tom K.
Bench & Bean
“Oat, decaf, extra shot, no syrup — we used to mishear at least one of those an hour over the grinder. Now it's on the screen in the customer's own words and it's right every time.”
Priya R.
Third Wave Espresso Bar

Costs less than a bag of speciality beans.
The Trader plan is £19/month — about one kilo of good beans, or two hours of a barista’s wages. For that it takes orders from every table at once, runs your barista screen, handles payments and cashes you up at close. One platform, on the devices already behind your counter.
Just opened? PAYG is made for you.
On PAYG you only pay when orders come through — 2% per transaction, nothing else. Quiet fortnight in January? You pay next to nothing. It’s the zero-risk way to put mobile ordering in your shop without adding a fixed cost.
Busy all day? Monthly costs less.
If there’s a queue at the door every morning, a flat monthly plan removes the per-transaction fee entirely — the more coffees you sell, the more you save against PAYG. Every plan includes every feature: no tier restrictions.
For coffee shops · cafés · espresso bars
Put a QR code on every table. Watch the queue disappear.
Runs on any tablet, Raspberry Pi or PC already behind your counter. Works with SumUp, PayPal and Stripe. Setting up is free, takes half an hour, and your first mobile order could land before tomorrow’s morning rush.

Frequently asked questions
Everything coffee shop and café owners ask us before signing up.
What is CoffeesUp and how does it work?
+
CoffeesUp is coffee shop software for UK cafés, coffee bars and espresso bars. You get a branded ordering page at yourname.coffeesup.co.uk, printable QR codes for your tables, and a live barista screen. Customers scan the code, browse your drinks menu, choose their milk and syrups, and pay on their phone — and the order appears on your counter screen instantly, tagged with the table number for sit-in orders. No app download required.
Does CoffeesUp have a monthly fee?
+
You choose the plan that suits your shop. The PAYG plan has no monthly fee at all — you pay 2% per transaction only when orders come through, making it a zero-risk way to try mobile ordering. If you're busy from open to close, a flat monthly plan works out cheaper by removing the per-order cost entirely. Both plans include the full CoffeesUp platform with no feature restrictions.
Do my customers need to download an app?
+
No app required — ever. Your customers point their phone camera at a QR code and your full drinks menu opens in their mobile browser. There's no download, no account and no sign-up standing between a passer-by and a coffee. It's one of the biggest differences between CoffeesUp and the big-chain ordering apps.
How does order-at-table work in a coffee shop?
+
Each table gets its own QR code — print them as table tent cards straight from your dashboard, for inside tables and the ones out on the pavement. When a customer scans and orders, it arrives on the barista screen tagged with that table number, already paid. Your team runs drinks out instead of standing on the till, so you serve more customers with the same two people behind the counter.
Can takeaway customers order ahead and skip the queue?
+
Yes — that's the whole point. Customers order ahead from your branded page, pay online and choose a collection time. Your barista screen shows it immediately, and the customer gets a notification the moment their coffee hits the hatch. They walk in, pick it up and go. No queue, no waiting, and no marketplace commission taking 15–35% of the sale.
Can customers choose oat milk, decaf and extra shots?
+
Yes. Every drink carries its own options — milk choice, syrup, number of shots, decaf, sugar, extra hot, cup size — with or without a price uplift. The customer taps exactly what they want and your barista screen shows it word for word, so nothing gets misheard over the grinder.
What payments can my customers use?
+
Customers can currently pay by card and PayPal — processed securely at the point of ordering. Apple Pay and Google Pay are coming soon via Stripe Connect. Every payment is recorded digitally and reconciled against its order automatically, so cashing up at close takes seconds.
How is this different from a standard EPOS till?
+
A traditional EPOS still needs a barista standing on it for every single order — so one pair of hands is off the machine while a queue builds. CoffeesUp moves order-taking to the customer's phone: twenty people can order in the same minute, payment happens up front, and the barista screen shows each order the second it's paid. There's no till hardware to rent and no monthly fee on PAYG.
What hardware do I need to run CoffeesUp in my coffee shop?
+
None that you don't already own. CoffeesUp runs in a browser on any Windows PC, Mac, tablet (iPad, Android, Amazon Fire) or Raspberry Pi. Prop a cheap tablet on the back bar and you have a full barista display and order management system — no dedicated till, no POS machine, no card reader. For card payments it works with SumUp, PayPal and Stripe — use whichever you already have.
How long does it take to set up?
+
Most coffee shops are live within 30 minutes. Register, add your drinks menu, print your table QR cards, and you're taking orders. No developer needed. No tech skills required.
Will it work alongside my existing till and card machine?
+
Yes. Mobile ordering runs alongside whatever you already have — plenty of shops keep serving walk-ins at the counter exactly as before and let QR ordering absorb the rush. There's nothing to integrate or rip out on day one, and you can go further whenever you're ready.
Can I track my sales, wastage and margin?
+
Yes. The analytics dashboard shows your top-selling drinks, revenue by day or half-hour, gross and net margin per cup (once you enter cost prices), and your busiest periods. Log the milk and pastries you binned and you'll see what wastage is really costing you — so you can prep, staff and order stock around real numbers.
