The switch, step by step

  1. Export from your current POS

    15 min

    Items/menu and customers as CSV or spreadsheet. No export option? A photo of the menu board works.

  2. Send or import the files

    3 business days

    Upload them yourself with the import template, or send them to the onboarding team.

  3. Rebuild modifier sets

    15 min

    Milk, shots, syrups and sweetness, attached to the right drinks. We do it with you on a call.

  4. Practise, then switch

    1 hour

    Practice orders and a test online order, then go live on a quiet morning. Keep the old POS for that day only.

Switching questions

Answered by the GetCafePOS team. Can’t find yours? Ask us.

How do I switch coffee shop POS systems?

Export products and customers from your old POS as CSV files, import them into GetCafePOS, rebuild modifier sets, connect your printer and payment processor, run practice orders, then switch on a quiet morning. Most single cafes do it in an afternoon.

How much does switching cost?

Our import help is free — send us your exports and we load them within 3 business days.

Can I export my menu from Square?

Yes. Square lets you export your item library to a spreadsheet from the Items section of the dashboard. Send that file as it is; we map the columns.

Can I export from Toast or Clover?

Both offer menu or inventory exports from their back office; availability depends on your plan and reseller. If you cannot export, a photo of your menu board is enough for us to build it.

Can I keep my card processor?

Usually yes. GetCafePOS records payments from the processor and terminal you choose. If your processor is tied to your old POS (Square, Toast and Clover processing generally are), you will need a new processor agreement; we explain the options on a call.

What about my contract with the old vendor?

Check your term and early termination fee before you switch. Many cafes run GetCafePOS on its free trial until the old contract or hardware lease ends.

Will I lose my sales history?

It stays in your old system. Export your reports for tax purposes before closing the old account. GetCafePOS starts its history from your first sale.

How long should both systems run side by side?

A day of practice is usually enough. Switch on a quiet weekday morning, keep the old system logged in for that day only, then close it.

Bring your menu, we’ll carry it over

Sign up, add your menu with its sizes and milks, and your register and online store are ready the same day.
