A stencil, a shaker, a cup out the door.
The order was placed on the café's own site. The till already has it.

Ten parts. What is true of each.
The shops above are invented; the money in them is made up. This report is not. It lists every part of ZReport with its real status — 4 of 10 live, 6 partly built — and the limits travel with the claims. It is the same list we would show an underwriter.
- 01Online storefront and orderingLive
A real shop on your own domain, with your colours and your type. Customers order, pay by card into your own account, and collect — or you post it, priced live at checkout.
LimitThere is no kitchen ticket yet.
- 02The tillLive
Cash, discounts, refunds, an emailed receipt, a counted drawer close-out and the Z Report. Keeps trading with no signal and uploads itself when the signal returns.
LimitThe till itself cannot swipe a card — a card sale at the counter is a QR the customer pays on their own phone. Receipts are emailed, not printed. No voids or comps.
- 03Payments, refunds, discounts, gift cardsPartly built
Card payments are live, paid into your own account, in your name — Stripe Connect, the money never ours to hold. Refunds and discounts are real and in the books.
LimitGift cards today means handling refunds for cards a previous system issued — issuing, selling and redeeming are not built.
- 04Products, menu and inventoryPartly built
One priced list feeds the site, the online orders and the till. Change a price once, it changes everywhere. Counts per day, sizes, options and packs come with it.
- 05Customer profiles and historyLive
Every order files the person behind it, so you can see what someone actually buys. Import your book and it keeps working.
- 06Sales reporting and dashboardsLive
The day, the week, the trend — takings, tender split, what sold. The strongest part of the product.
- 07Staff roles and hoursPartly built
Roles decide who can see what: a cashier rings sales, a manager runs the shop.
LimitScheduling is not built.
- 08Procedures, checklists and documentationPartly built
How the shop is actually run, written down where the people running it can find it.
LimitWe write your launch checklist and keep it with your site. Writing your own is not built.
- 09Alerts, follow-ups and recurring workPartly built
The routine things a shop does every week, done without anyone remembering.
LimitA weekly report sends itself, and your phone assistant sets reminders when you ask. Custom alert rules are not built.
- 10Accounting, delivery and marketingPartly built
Marketing and delivery are connected: shipping labels and tracking through Shippo, Google Analytics and Search Console in your dashboard.
LimitAccounting is not connected. Marketing sends have no scheduling and no history.
A card clears into the shop's own account. What is still missing is marked above.
Nothing claimed that isn't built.

How it goes
Three steps, and one of them is us.
- 01
Tell us about the shop
Name, what you sell, where you are. Two minutes.
- 02
We build the first version
Hands-on, by a person, from your menu and your photography. Onboarding is deliberately not self-serve yet — we would rather do it properly than ship a wizard that half-works.
- 03
You take it from there
Edit prices, pages and hours yourself. Ring sales on the till the same day.
All of it
Z is all things.
Cocoa, crust, ink, skin, carbon, paper. Different shops, the same close.
Get a seat when one opens.
We take shops on slowly and by hand. Leave an email and we'll come to you in order.
