Coffee shop POS for Los Angeles cafes

Los Angeles has one of the densest independent coffee scenes in the country — Koreatown dessert cafes and late-night spots, specialty bars in Silver Lake and Arts District, Latino-owned cafés on the Eastside. Customers order ahead from Instagram and expect the iced drink they had last time.

The Los Angeles counter

Koreatown cafes often run late, sell elaborate iced drinks and desserts alongside coffee, and serve a bilingual crowd; Eastside cafés mix café de olla and horchata lattes with espresso.

Late-night menus

Schedule store hours per day so online ordering stays open for your 11 pm crowd but not after close.

Dessert + drink combos

Use modifier sets for bingsu toppings and drink pairings; the kitchen screen gets the dessert, the bar gets the drink.

Bilingual counter

Korean-speaking staff can run the register in Korean while receipts print in English.

Los Angeles cafe POS questions

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

Does GetCafePOS work for Koreatown cafes?

Yes. The register and staff screens can run in Korean, desserts and drinks route to different screens, and late-night store hours are supported.

How do I set Los Angeles sales tax?

Create a tax group for each location with the combined rate for that address (state plus district taxes) and assign it to taxable products. Rates differ between cities in LA County, so check yours with the CDTFA.

Can I take orders in Spanish?

Yes — Spanish-speaking staff can use the register in Spanish, and your online store can have Spanish product descriptions.

Is there support in my time zone?

US support runs on Eastern hours, which covers the LA morning rush from 5 am Pacific onward; messages after hours are answered the next working day.

Can I run a pop-up at Smorgasburg or a night market?

Yes. Use a phone or tablet with a mobile card reader from your processor and a hotspot; sales land in the same reports.

What does it cost in LA?

The same US price list applies everywhere: see the plans on this page, sales tax added at checkout.
