Software for coffee shop owners

See the business behind the morning rush.

The counter can be busy while supplier bills and office catering orders wait in a notebook. Microtra brings stock, expenses and business invoices together for a coffee shop that wants clearer administration alongside its existing counter service and payment arrangements.

The everyday details

You know the work.
The admin adds up.

Counter activity hides the back office

An office ordering boxed coffee and pastries needs a named contact and invoice. That arrangement deserves a clearer record than a note beside the grinder, especially when another employee answers the next call about pickup.

Purchases arrive in different units

Beans may arrive by bag, cups by case and bottled drinks individually. If purchasing and counts use inconsistent units, a shelf that looks full can still leave the shop short of the item needed for takeaway service.

Wastage needs an explanation

A damaged case, spilled product or unsold packaged item changes what is on the shelf. Ignoring those changes makes the count harder to trust and makes it difficult to separate ordinary usage from avoidable losses.

A full till does not describe the bills

Equipment servicing, laundry, packaging and supplier purchases compete for the same business cash. Looking only at drinks served leaves the owner without a useful view of outstanding invoices and spending between deliveries.

How Microtra helps

Keep the business connected.

Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.

Organize the supplies you count

Use stock locations, physical counts, transfers and wastage for tracked goods. Give reusable items and variants consistent descriptions so the person receiving a delivery recognizes the same product the owner sees in purchasing records.

Keep supplier ordering traceable

Save supplier contacts and price lists, then use purchase orders and supplier bills for goods you buy. Check deliveries against your own receiving process; the app does not inspect a shipment or forecast coffee demand.

Give business customers a clear invoice

Create Customer contacts and Order details for office refreshments, meeting pickups or other agreed sales. Reuse line items, share invoice PDFs from the device and record money received through payment arrangements the shop already uses.

Bring receipts into the books

Record categorized expenses with receipt photos for maintenance, packaging and other business costs. Review income, spending and unpaid invoices with those records available. Automated receipt reading and accounting sync are coming soon.

A day in the life

From the first quote to paid.

  1. Check deliveries before shelving them

    Compare what arrived with what you expected and note damaged or missing goods. Enter purchasing records and stock changes in agreed units, leaving product quality checks to your established process.

  2. Confirm an office order

    Identify the person approving refreshments, the pickup or delivery arrangement and the agreed selection. Write the scope clearly enough that a colleague can prepare paperwork without guessing from a casual counter conversation.

  3. Record an exceptional movement

    Use the appropriate stock record when goods are wasted or moved between tracked locations. Avoid presenting a manual adjustment as a recipe calculation; the record should explain what the team counted or moved.

  4. Review after the counter quiets

    Share business invoice PDFs, record payments received elsewhere and enter missing receipt photos. Compare the commercial records with your separate checkout records before deciding what needs follow-up.

A few useful answers

Questions from coffee shop owners.

Does Microtra replace a cafe point-of-sale system?

It provides general business records, stock tools and invoicing. It does not provide specialist cafe counter workflows or control ordering screens and coffee equipment. Evaluate checkout needs separately; Microtra card charging is coming soon.

Can I use the Bakery & food setup?

Yes. Its labels are Order and Customer, with stock and locations enabled. Linked records start off. Scheduling also starts off; turn it on in Modules & terms before using appointments for catering pickups or other arrangements.

Does it calculate the ingredient cost of a latte?

Microtra does not calculate recipes, drink yields or ingredient depletion from a menu. Work out recipe quantities using your own methods, then enter appropriate item prices, purchases, expenses and stock adjustments.

What happens when an office requests a change?

Confirm the revised selection, quantities and handoff arrangement directly. Update the estimate or invoice to match what was agreed so the office contact and person preparing refreshments have a consistent description.
