Questions about using the system
Cafeteria

Don’t see your workflow? We’ll show it in a demo

How does this differ from a waiter-service café?

A cafeteria mainly uses counter selection and payment. If there is table service, consider Garson additionally; workstations are selected for the actual workflow.

How do I start managing inventory?

Start with your product range, units of measure and opening stock. Separate supplier goods from recipe-based dishes. Before going live, check a test sale and stock deduction.

How much does migration to ROSTA cost?

Migration to ROSTA is free. Before switching, we’ll agree on the data to transfer and check export options in your current system. Licences and setup are charged separately; free migration does not mean free use of the software.
