A cafe back office is often a corner of the storeroom, so everything in it has to be compact. This zone covers what that corner holds: a mini PC for orders and accounts, a wall safe, a gas detector where there is a gas supply, a water heater for the hand sink, backup power, and a floor scrubber for closing time.
Not always. The POS handles sales. A separate mini PC earns its place when you also run stock ordering, payroll, a digital menu board or local AI tools, and want them off the till. Ours fit behind a monitor and start from a single unit.
A wall-mounted tankless electric heater at the sink gives hot water within seconds and takes no cupboard space. It needs a dedicated electrical circuit sized for its power. For a dishwasher and several sinks at once, a small storage tank is the better fit.
For a floor of a few dozen square meters, a mop is usually enough. A walk-behind scrubber dryer pays off in a larger cafe or a bakery-cafe with heavy traffic, where it washes and dries the floor in one pass and the room can open again straight away.
