Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about setting up your restaurant POS.
Is Cute Profit POS KRA eTIMS compliant?
Yes, absolutely. Cute Profit is fully integrated with KRA eTIMS. Every receipt printed at your restaurant automatically generates a valid QR code, ensuring you are 100% compliant without needing to buy a separate, expensive TIMS machine.
How does the M-Pesa integration work?
We link your restaurant's M-Pesa Till or Paybill directly to the POS. When a customer pays, the system automatically detects the payment, matches it to the exact table's bill, and clears it. This eliminates manual entry errors and completely stops staff from pocketing cash.
Can it track my raw ingredients and recipes?
Yes! Cute Profit features recipe-level inventory tracking. If you sell a burger, the system automatically deducts the exact amount of buns, beef patties, and cooking oil used from your digital store. This prevents kitchen theft and gives you accurate profit margins per plate.
Do I need to buy expensive POS hardware?
No. Cute Profit is purely cloud-based and works on any device. You can use your existing Android tablets, iPads, smartphones, or computers for the waiters and cashiers. All you need is a standard thermal receipt printer to hand out bills.
Can I manage multiple restaurant branches?
Absolutely. You can manage unlimited branches from a single Cute Profit account. The live dashboard on your phone lets you view real-time sales, inventory levels, and KOTs for every location simultaneously, no matter where you are in the world.
