A café day on UKU

From the first shot
to the last drawer.

  • Morning rush

    Drinks with every option, fast

    Size, milk, shots and syrups as option groups. Drinks print or show at the bar station.

  • Order-ahead

    Pickup that respects the line

    Order pacing spaces out pickup times so the bar keeps up.

  • Afternoon

    Menus by time of day

    Breakfast items switch off on their own. Afternoon specials switch on.

  • Regulars

    Points without a card

    A phone number at the counter or online earns toward a free drink.

  • Stock

    Milk and beans that count down

    Recipes deplete ingredients as you sell, so you reorder before you run out.

  • Close

    Tips and the drawer, done

    Shift tips pooled your way and the cash drawer counted on the register.

  • Order pacing

    Pickup times the bar can keep.

  • Menus by time

    Breakfast ends. Specials begin.

  • Regulars

    A phone number. A free drink.

Ask the assistant

Out of oat milk?
Say so once.

UKU hides it on the register, your website and the delivery apps, and brings it back when you say.

Try asking

  • Add a pumpkin spice syrup for 75 cents
  • Which drinks sold best before 9am this week?
  • We’re out of oat milk, mark it sold out until tomorrow
