CoffeeOS: an operating system for a coffee chain

What started as “three parts” grew into CoffeeOS — a hub for a coffee chain.

Product scope

• Point admin.
• Barista board — orders and statuses.
• Kiosk and mobile for guests.
• Shifts, cash, stock.
• Loyalty and promos.
• Prep kitchen and shipments.

It’s an operational system, not a loose pile of screens.

Engineering

• ~65 tables, 50+ SQL functions.
• RLS roles.
• Multi-tenant architecture.

Built for operations: surface what’s wrong (payments, devices, receipts), suggest what to do, simplify shift close.

Status

At the time of writing, the MVP is ready for pilot testing in stores; next is feedback loops and production rollout.

If you’re building something similar, align early on data ownership, per-location roles, and the smallest end-to-end scenario for v1.
