If any of these sound familiar, you're our customer.
Tap the ones you recognise — we'll highlight the right tools below.
Delivery Commissions Hit Harder on a Small Ticket
DoorDash and Grubhub take the same 15-30% cut off a $6 latte as a $22 entrée — once cups, lids and card fees stack on top, all-in delivery cost can exceed 40% of revenue. Direct QR orders pay none of it.
Customers Expect Mobile Order-Ahead
Over 3 in 10 Starbucks orders now arrive through its app — that volume trained customers to expect skip-the-line ordering everywhere. QR pre-order gives independents the same convenience.
Another Loyalty App Nobody Opens
Americans join 16.6 loyalty programs on average but actively use only 7.6 of them. A lightweight, no-download stamp card gets used — a bespoke app you built rarely does.
Tip Screens Turn Customers Off
Half of Americans feel manipulated by a checkout tablet demanding 20%+ on a drip coffee. Configurable, optional tipping keeps the choice with the customer, not the screen.
Modifier Orders Get Mixed Up
Oat milk, extra shot, sugar-free syrup, extra hot — verbal customization is where most order errors start. KDS shows every modifier in writing, right at the espresso machine.
Wages Swing 2x by State, Menu Prices Don't
A barista costs $19+/hr in California or Washington and as little as $7.25 federal elsewhere — the same drink price has to cover very different labor costs. Self-service ordering does more with the same headcount.
Bad Google Reviews
A single bad review on Google can cost you dozens of new customers. Most happen before you even know there's a problem.
The Root Problem
Every customer who orders through a third-party app is a customer you don't own.
No name. No email. No way to bring them back. Asky changes that.
Every tool your venue needs — all in one platform, working as one.
Operate
Simplified operations.
One menu powering table, takeaway and delivery orders. Time-based, with photos, modifiers and dietary tags.
Customers tap, order and pay on their own — at the table, the counter or a kiosk.
Customers scan, order and pay on their phone — at the table, in the queue, or in the room.
Fast, casual-friendly POS that handles the floor. Modifiers, splits, transfers.
Owner, manager, cashier, kitchen — each role gets its own view, permissions and reports.
Bookings and floor plans. No-show tracking, deposits and reminders built in.
Take bookings for tables, events and experiences — with deposits, reminders and capacity limits.
See every table in real time — open, seated, ordering or ready to pay — straight from the floor plan.
Card, contactless, mobile wallet — all settled in one dashboard.
Kitchen display synced with the floor. Orders sequenced, delays surfaced, comms reduced.
Drivers see their queue, route, customer notes and proof of delivery from one app.
A single view of every active delivery, driver and ETA — for ops control in real time.
Live map of pending orders. Smart batching cuts delivery time and fuel cost.
Split by item, by guest or evenly. Closes the table fast at peak.
Returning customers tap once to reorder their favourites. Drives loyalty without effort.
End-of-day, sales by item, COGS, staff hours, variance — finalised the moment you close. No spreadsheets.
Staff start, pause and close their own shifts. See sales, cash in drawer and hours per team member — in real time.
Track ingredients, COGS and variance per menu item. Auto re-order alerts.
Schedule shifts, track hours, manage swaps and approvals — alongside the POS your team already uses.

Service on autopilot.
One AI brain across WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger — automated replies, same memory, same tone on every channel.

Single-use, multi-use, time-bound. Redeemable at the till and on QR ordering.
Customers refer friends, both get rewarded. Tracked end-to-end in the CRM.

Trusted by independent coffee shops across the United States.
Yes. Asky's cafe POS is designed for new hires to pick up in under 30 minutes. Most independent coffee shops don't need formal training sessions.
Yes — time-based menus switch automatically. Breakfast sandwiches in the morning, lunch items from 11am — set it once and it runs itself.
Yes. Loyalty works inside QR ordering and the POS — no app needed. Customers collect and redeem stamps in the browser. If they want the native app, that's available too.
Square and Toast charge monthly software fees and often bundle in hardware contracts before your first sale. Asky charges a few cents per order — so a quiet Tuesday costs almost nothing. You also get built-in QR pre-orders, customer CRM and loyalty that Square and Toast charge extra for or don't offer at all.
