What is CAKE ?

Cake is a guest management and POS system that helps restaurants of all sizes streamline their business operation, increase guest satisfaction, and boost profit. The software covers the whole dining experience and comes with offline capabilities that ensure that all payments are processed in a timely manner even if there is no internet connection. In addition, it can be integrated with Guest Manager to connect the dining room and front-of-house and increase table turns for quick seating. Hence, restaurants are able to give their customers an accurate wait time and even let them check-in before they arrive. This results in a reduced number of walk-aways and no-shows and better business.
