A day in a café with Lumigast

Coffee, cake, breakfast – sales at the counter, a few tables.

For example a café with a cake counter, a bakery café or an ice cream parlour with 3 to 15 people. Cafés, bakery cafés and ice cream parlours: counter and service, early and late shifts, many mini-jobs.

The day in five moments

Five moments from everyday work – and what Lumigast takes care of.

  1. The evening before

    Who opens tomorrow?

    A colleague from the early shift has called in sick. On the staffing board, a red light flashes for tomorrow morning at the counter – you also see it on “Today”.

  2. Five minutes later

    Finding cover

    You tap the gap and see who is available. You send a request to two mini-jobbers, the first one accepts on her phone – the light turns green. Lumigast checks rest periods and the mini-job earnings limit at the same time.

  3. 06:45

    Opening by checklist

    The early shift checks in on the phone and ticks off the opening checklist: coffee machine, chilled display with temperature, cake counter. If a reading is out of range, the app asks for the corrective action.

  4. All day long

    Sales at the counter

    Tap the coffee, paid, receipt – a quick sale at the POS takes just a few taps, vouchers included. The Lumigast POS is currently in testing.

  5. 18:00

    Closing time

    The late shift ticks off the closing checklist, does the end-of-day closing and checks out. The hours are ready for the month-end closing – with breaks and Sunday premiums.

What it looks like

What the profile switches on

Included in every package and switched on straight away:

On the phone

Your team sees four items on the phone: Shifts, Check in, Checklist and More. Management starts with “Today” and has staffing, times, holidays, checklists and the POS right in the top bar.

The profile is a starting template: it does not set your contract, price, permissions or obligations, and switching profiles takes nothing away.

Recommended – you decide

The profile suggests these modules. None of them is switched on or booked automatically.

What Lumigast does not cover here

  • Lumigast does not plan bakery production, scales or returns from branches.
  • The POS is in testing – a certified Cloud-TSE (the security module German law requires for tills) will be added before live operation.
