POS for specialty coffee — one app, scale to cup.
Budy started with precise scales for cannabis flower. Turns out it's just as useful for specialty coffee: weigh beans, price by grams, track origins and roasts, print batch labels — all from one app.
- Weigh to price
- Beans by the gram on the same Acaia
- Offline-first
- Keeps selling through the morning rush
- Multi-location
- One tenant, per-shop inventory
- 2 months free
- Then $98 a store a month
What coffee shop owners tell us is broken
- POS systems don't handle bean weight-based pricing elegantly
- Baristas type out origin, roast date, tasting notes on every new bag
- Tablet-based POS crashes when WiFi drops mid-rush
- Menu changes (seasonal drinks) take hours to enter manually
- No good way to print custom batch labels for retail bags
- Cross-shop reporting for multi-location owners is clunky
How Budy solves it
Acaia scale integration
The same Acaia you use for dial-in doubles as the POS scale. Pour beans, read grams, price calculates live.
AI menu onboarding
Snap a photo of a new seasonal drink or bean bag. AI extracts details and fills the product form.
Offline-first
On-device database — selling never stops when WiFi dies during the morning rush.
Niimbot batch labels
Custom labels for retail bean bags: origin, roast date, altitude, tasting notes — printed in seconds.
Multi-location sync
Run 3 cafés on one Budy tenant — shared menu, per-shop inventory, cross-shop reports.
Voice ordering
Voice-driven POS handles drive-thru and phone orders hands-free while the barista pulls shots.
A café retail bag sale with Budy
- 01 Customer asks for 250g of Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
- 02 Barista places bag on Acaia — 251g
- 03 POS prices live (฿850/250g × 251 = ฿854)
- 04 Niimbot prints retail label: Yirgacheffe, roast 2026-04-15, medium, floral + citrus
- 05 Customer taps card, receipt to LINE
- 06 Inventory deducts 251g automatically from stock
One movement, three things happen
Sample data. The bag goes on the scale, the price follows the grams, and the retail label prints with the roast details already filled in.
Acaia Lunar · 251 g · ฿850.00/250 g · ฿854.00
Coffee shop FAQ
Does Budy handle drinks with modifiers (milk, syrup, extra shot)?
Yes. Budy supports product variants and modifiers — size, milk type, syrups, shots. Each variant tracks independent pricing and inventory.
Can it print receipts to a thermal printer?
Yes. Budy supports Niimbot thermal printers and standard Bluetooth/USB receipt printers. For high-volume cafés, SUNMI V2 Pro has a built-in receipt printer.
Do I need different hardware than a dispensary?
No. Same Android tablet, same Acaia scale, same Niimbot printer works for both. One tenant can literally be a dispensary + café.
Can customers order ahead via an online menu?
Yes — the Budy web shop (in beta) gives every tenant a branded online ordering page with products synced live from POS.
