TrueCafe Internet Cafe Software Guide

Where TrueCafe still fits

• Cyber cafes that already run TrueCafe on an older Windows server and would rather not switch yet.
• Simple setups with time billing and a small client PC count.
• Operators who mainly need session control and basic reporting rather than game center tools.
• Owners who want the current configuration documented before any migration.

Features to check on an existing install

• Session timing, prepaid accounts, member logins, and how unused balances expire.
• Client lock screen behavior after a session ends or a workstation reboots.
• POS entries for drinks, snacks, printed receipts, and prepaid time codes.
• Report totals for time sales, product sales, refunds, and end-of-shift cash.
• Compatibility between the installed version and the Windows edition on each machine.

Questions before staying on TrueCafe

• Does the installed version still receive updates that matter for security?
• Will it run correctly on current Windows 10 or Windows 11 clients?
• Can staff recover a frozen client quickly during busy hours?
• Are the database, license, and installer files backed up in a safe place?
• Would a new tax or payment rule force a move to supported software before long?
