HandyCafe Internet Cafe Software Guide

Where HandyCafe still fits

• Small internet cafes that already run HandyCafe and would rather not switch mid-season.
• Owners on a tight budget who want a paid product rather than a free tool.
• Venues with simple time billing and a modest client PC count.
• Operators who want the current setup documented before any migration.

Features to check on an existing install

• Session timing, prepaid codes, member accounts, and how balances expire.
• Client lock screen behavior after a timed session ends or a PC reboots.
• POS entries for drinks, snacks, printed receipts, and prepaid time.
• Report totals for time sales, product sales, refunds, and end-of-shift cash.
• Compatibility with the current Windows version on the server and the clients.

Questions before staying on HandyCafe

• Does the installed version still receive updates that matter for security?
• Can staff recover a frozen client PC quickly during busy hours?
• Are configuration files, the database, and installer files backed up in a safe place?
• Would a new payment or tax rule force a move to newer software before long?
