Peculiarities of the coffee business: how automation changes processes

The coffee business will exist as long as there is demand for coffee and related products among consumers. Today, it is the busiest niche in the service and trade sector, as many people visit coffee shops as part of their daily routine.

Additionally, especially in large cities , combined coffee shop-stores are popular, where separate coffee corners are opened in stores or retail chains. This business model works excellently for increasing the average check and attracting additional customers to the store.

Modern coffee shops require efficient business process management: from stock control to sales analytics and customer relations. Let's explore how to achieve this with the Torgsoft accounting program for coffee shops.

Peculiarities of the coffee business: how automation changes processes

How Torgsoft automates a coffee shop: benefits for business

The Torgsoft program for coffee shops helps coffee shop owners maintain accurate inventory and financial records, automate sales, and improve customer service quality.

Key features of coffee shop automation include:

  • Accounting for drinks and ingredients – control of coffee drink components and automatic deduction during preparation.

  • Working with sets – automatic order assembly, simplifying the sale of tea and coffee sets.

  • Sale of related products – barcode scanning and scale integration for fast inventory tracking.

  • Customer accounting and loyalty programs – maintaining customer databases, creating discount and bonus programs for regular visitors.

  • Mobile operation capability – sales via smartphone or tablet using a mobile application.

Accounting for ingredients, weight and piece goods

To maintain accurate accounting in a coffee shop, all products used to prepare coffee or tea (coffee, tea, milk, sugar, cups, tea bags, etc.) must be recorded in the Torgsoft accounting system.

Goods receipt

  • Ingredient accounting: the program allows you to record coffee drink ingredients and deduct them during sales as weighted or unit goods. For example, to account for one serving of latte, you need to create a complex service in the program, including all the drink’s components and specifying its price. In our example, this is 110 g of milk, 60 g of water, and 14 g of coffee. When selling such a service, the specified amount of ingredients will be automatically deducted from the stock.

  • Supplier and raw material accounting: the accounting system allows recording supplier data, purchases from specific suppliers, and monitoring stock levels.

  • Automatic deduction: ingredients are automatically deducted when beverages are sold.

It should be noted that beverages themselves do not have a cost price. Instead, their components do, and the actual profit is derived from the sale of these components.

Purchasing and accounting of goods: how Torgsoft helps reduce losses

Sets with automatic assembly

A valuable tool in coffee product accounting is the Sets with automatic assembly option. It helps sell ready-made sets that may contain multiple components, such as:

  • Coffee and tea drinks (coffee, milk, cup, sugar).

  • Breakfast sets (coffee + croissant).

In stock, such a set always appears with a quantity of 0. When adding a set with automatic assembly to the sales process in Torgsoft, it is automatically assembled. That is, the components of the set are deducted from the stock, and instead of registering each ingredient separately, the assembled set is accounted for and immediately sold.

On the receipt, the customer only sees the name of the drink, while all other information about the movement of components remains within the accounting system. If the sale is canceled/deleted/modified, the sets are disassembled: for example, a customer ordered coffee, then changed their mind and requested tea.

Selling related and weighted goods in a coffee shop

Many coffee shops sell not only beverages but also related products: confectionery, coffee packs, tea, cups, souvenirs, and more.

Such products can be sold like regular store items: either by scanning a barcode or selecting the item manually from the stock. If a product does not have a barcode, it can be created and saved in the coffee shop accounting program.

If you are selling using a barcode scanner, you can simply stick the barcodes of drinks and confectionery items into a special notebook, from which they can be scanned each time. Coffee packs or, for example, chocolate bars can be sold using their factory barcodes.

Selling weighted goods in a coffee shop (nuts, candies, cookies) is easy by connecting scales to a PC and configuring the Electronic Scale Connection option in Torgsoft. This allows weight data to be transferred directly into the program.
