Your phone is
your register.

OSPOS is a free, open-source point-of-sale app. Ring up on an iPhone or an iPad, take the money, and send the order straight to a screen where the cooking happens. Accept cash. Accept cards. No monthly fees. No contracts.

Version 1.4

The kitchen sees every order now.

1.4 adds a kitchen screen. Hang an old iPad or iPhone where the cooking happens, and every order you take appears on it as a ticket — no printer, no paper, no second subscription.

New · Kitchen screen

A ticket the moment it’s paid for.

No printerNo prices on ticketsNo subscription

Orders arrive numbered #1 to #999 and start again each morning. Tap once to start it, again when it’s ready, again to clear it. Clear one by accident and Recall brings it straight back.

A kitchen screen never shows a price and never takes a payment.

New · At a glance

The oldest order is obvious from across the room.

A ticket’s timer runs green, then amber, then red as it ages past your target. ALL DAY totals every outstanding item, so the line knows it owes nine tacos — not which six tickets they’re spread across.

Modifiers are as large as the item they belong to. “No onions” is not small print when someone’s allergy depends on it.

New · Several screens

One shop, as many screens as it needs.

A shop used to hold one paired device. Now the iPad rings the order, an iPhone turns to face the customer for the tap, and a third screen shows the kitchen what to make — all at once.

Settings lists every device in the shop and what each one is doing.

The POS that doesn't
nickel-and-dime you.

No monthly fee. No minimum. No contract. No hardware to buy or rent. Cash sales are free forever, and card sales run through a Stripe account that belongs to you.

$0

Free forever, actually.

Cash register with menu builder, order tracking, daily summaries, and CSV export. No account needed. No internet required. Works completely offline. Zero dollars, zero catches.

🏦

Your Stripe account stays yours.

You connect your own Stripe account and you keep it — a real merchant account, not a sub-account we control. Payouts go straight to your bank. Leave whenever you want; the account comes with you.

📲

No hardware, no reader.

Tap to Pay on iPhone takes contactless cards, Apple Pay and digital wallets directly on the iPhone. Nothing to plug in, nothing to charge, nothing to replace when it breaks.

🔒

Your data stays yours.

All data stored locally on your device. We never see your sales data unless you opt into cloud sync. No card numbers ever touch our servers. Open source — audit the code yourself.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

🍳

Send tickets to the kitchen

Paid orders appear on a spare iPad or iPhone as numbered tickets, colour-coded by how long they have waited, with an ALL DAY count of everything still to make. A ticket never carries a price.

🗂️

Menu builder

Items with stickers, categories, and modifier groups. Customers customize, you ring fast.

🧩

Card
Your Stripe rate
+ 1%

Card payments run through your own Stripe account, at whatever rate Stripe charges you — their published in-person rate is 2.7% + 5¢. OSPOS adds 1% on top of your Stripe rate, and nothing else.

  • No monthly fee, no minimum, no contract
  • No hardware to buy or rent
  • Payouts go straight to your bank

Card payments are processed by Stripe under your own Stripe account; Stripe's own pricing applies — 2.7% + 5¢ is Stripe's published US in-person rate and is set by Stripe, not by us — and OSPOS adds 1% on top of it. Card payments are available in the US today. Requires iOS 16 or later. Tap to Pay on iPhone requires iPhone XS or later.

Not just coffee shops.

The math works hardest on bigger tickets — and on anyone who has no counter to put a terminal on.
