Getting started with Cafizio

Cafizio is the cashier app for your counter. Staff sign in with a PIN, tap products to build an order, confirm it, and the receipt prints. Every sale is saved on the device first, so the register keeps working with no internet; your data uploads to the cloud whenever a connection is available.

• Cashiers sell, view their own shift report and can log expenses. Admins and managers set up the menu, staff, printers and settings, and see all reports.

• Every order is stored on the device, then printed as a customer ticket, an internal ticket, or both — you choose.

• Your shift ends with a shift report. Pressing Print & Clear saves the shift and starts a fresh one.

• Cloud sync and the phone-based Manager app are optional extras. The register itself never depends on them.

A few things to have ready. None of them are difficult, and only the first setup needs the internet.

• A tablet or POS terminal: an Android tablet, an iPad, or a standard Android POS terminal (for example CITAQ). The Cafizio register app runs on tablets and terminals, not on phones.

• An internet connection for the first setup and for license activation. After that the register works offline.

• A thermal receipt printer (recommended): built into your terminal, or connected by USB, Wi-Fi/Ethernet or Bluetooth.

• Optional: a cash drawer connected to the printer.

• Your product list. If it is already in a spreadsheet, you can import it in one go (see “Build your menu”).

Open Cafizio for the first time and follow these screens. It takes about two minutes.

Who

The owner (the first administrator)

Where

A new device connected to the internet

1. 1

   Step 1: Choose your language

   Pick English, Arabic, French or Spanish. You can change the app language later in Settings; the app may ask you to restart it.

2. 2

   Step 2: Connect to the internet

   The very first launch needs an internet connection once, to register your device. If you are offline, connect to Wi-Fi and tap Retry Connection.

3. 3

   Step 3: Choose your currency

   Select the currency used for your prices and receipts. You can add more currencies or change the default later under Currency Management.

4. 4

   Step 4: Create your administrator account

   Enter a business name (optional), a username and a password. This account manages the whole workspace, so keep the password somewhere safe.

5. 5

   Step 5: You are ready to sign in

   Cafizio now shows the PIN screen. Nothing else is required to reach it — the remaining chapters configure the shop.

Staff sign in with a personal 4-digit PIN. Every PIN belongs to exactly one person, which is how each sale is credited to the right employee.
