Development of Custom POS and CRM System for Thirst Trap Café

I designed and built a custom desktop CRM and point-of-sale system for Thirst Trap Café. It handles the café’s daily operations: taking orders, billing, managing the menu, tracking customers and credit accounts, reconciling the cash drawer, and reporting on sales. It’s all in one warm, easy-to-scan interface.

Tools: VS Code, Flutter, SQLite

Before this, the café [how they tracked orders, e.g. paper bills, a generic billing app, or spreadsheets]. That meant [pain points, e.g. slow billing at peak hours, no clear view of daily sales, credit customers tracked by memory, cash mismatches at close]. They needed a tool built around how a café actually runs, not a one-size-fits-all POS.

Make taking and billing an order fast enough for a rush

Give the owner a clear picture of sales, expenses, and money owed

Keep data safe even if the computer fails

Keep the interface simple enough for staff to learn without training

Warm coffee-brown and cream palette that matches the café’s brand and is easy on the eyes during long shifts

Color-coded status (green for paid/available, red for cancelled/sold out, amber for active) so state is readable at a glance

One-screen ordering to cut the clicks between a customer’s request and a printed bill

Large tap targets and a persistent sidebar for navigation

Used daily by the café

Billing time reduced
