This is Autoflowly's live restaurant system running right now with demo data — the engine your café version is configured from. Yours arrives speaking your trade — your services, your customers, your words — not what you see branded here. Open it full-screen →

What this actually fixes.

The 8am queue costs you customers

People walk past a six-deep queue on their way to work. That's revenue you had and lost to a wait.

Regulars are recognised but not recorded

You know their order by heart and have no way to reach them when it's quiet.

Specials board changes daily, menu doesn't

Your online presence shows last season's menu while the counter shows today's.

Built for how a café business runs.

Morning pre-orders

Ordered on the walk in, ready on arrival — no queue.

Table QR ordering

Sit down, scan, order. No waiting to be noticed.

Menu & daily specials

Today's specials live in seconds, not next week.

Loyalty for regulars

Recognise and reward the people who come in daily.

Payment up front

Order and payment together, so collection is instant.

Your customer list

The regulars become contactable, not just familiar.

Counter display

Orders arrive where they're made, in order.

Rush-hour patterns

When you're actually busy, so you staff for it.

What it actually does for a café business.

Every proposal waits for your approval. Nothing is sent, charged or changed on its own.

Kitchen and orders summary

Counts of abandoned carts, pending reviews, low-stock products, and refundable orders. Call this first to see what needs attention.

Pending reviews

Reviews awaiting a reply or moderation — the review-responder's queue. Includes rating, title, body, reviewer, product.

Abandoned orders

Carts with items left untouched for over 24h — the cart-recovery queue. Includes value, item count, and whether the shopper is a guest or returning customer.

Low-stock items

Products at or below their low-stock threshold — the restocker's queue. Includes current stock and threshold.

Refundable orders

Paid, non-refunded orders — context for refund decisions. Note: do not proactively refund paid orders; only act on a genuine refund request.

Menu items

The store's product catalog (id, name, price, stock, category). Call before editing so you use the right product id.

Menu sections

The store's product categories (id, name). Use a category's id when adding/updating products.

Active orders

Open orders still being handled (pending → confirmed → preparing → ready → out for delivery) — the Order-taker and kitchen queue. Includes type, customer, total, and any special instructions.

Active deliveries

In-progress deliveries with the assigned driver and eta — the Driver-coordinator's queue. Use to spot delays and decide who to notify.

Move an order forward

Advances an order to its next stage — confirmed, preparing, ready, delivered.

Win back an abandoned cart

Drafts an offer to a shopper who left items in their basket.

Refund an order

Issues a refund on an order, once you approve it.

Restock a product

Raises stock on a product that has run low.

Reply to a review

Drafts a public reply to a customer review.

Ask for a store review

Asks a customer who bought something to review the store.

You are not starting from an empty screen.

Every one of these already works the moment your café app is live. The list on the right is the whole of what's left for you.

Already built for you

  • Ordering website
  • Digital menu
  • Table QR ordering
  • Kitchen display
  • Delivery tracking
  • Customer database
  • Reviews
  • Payments
  • Login & roles
  • Analytics
  • Hosting & your own URL
  • Works on phones

You only configure

  • Your restaurant name & logo

  • Your opening hours
  • Your delivery area
  • Your payment account

That's the whole setup. Everything else is already running.

The software comes with a team.

They work your message channels and your data, and propose actions you approve from your phone. Nothing risky goes out without a human yes.

AR
AI Receptionist

Answers hours, allergens and “are you open bank holiday?” instantly.

Example: “Open till 4 today, and the oat flat white is dairy-free.”
OA
Order Agent

Takes pre-orders through messages and readies them for collection.

Example: “Large oat latte and a croissant, ready at 8:15 — paid.”
MA
Marketing Agent

Fills the dead 2–4pm window with your own regulars.

Example: Drafts an afternoon offer to customers who normally only come in the morning.
OA
Operations Agent

Flags items running out during service.

Example: “Croissants have been ordered 22 times this morning — worth checking stock.”

Live demo today, your own system today.

1

Open the live demo

It's already running with demo data. Click through it like a café would — no signup, nothing to install.

2

Launch your own copy

You get your own deployment with its own database and URL, seeded and ready to use rather than empty.

3

Describe what to change

Your services, prices, branding, stages and rules — described in plain language and applied to your copy.

Questions worth asking.

Can customers pre-order and skip the queue?

Yes — orders are placed and paid in advance with a collection time, so they arrive to a drink that's already made.

Can I update the specials daily?

Yes. The menu is data, so today's specials go live in seconds from a phone.

Is there loyalty for regulars?

Yes, and more usefully it makes them contactable — so a quiet afternoon can be filled by the people who already like you.

Features reflect the current platform as of August 2026 and continue to expand — the live demo above always reflects what's actually deployed.
