Sparto how-to

How-to · Opening on Sparto

Open your cafe on Sparto

What the Cafe starter sets up, what to have on the counter, and the three guides to read next.

A cafe is sold as the Cafe preset: one price a month for the location, and a price for each Merchant Display. It is set up with you on a configuration call. Book one from sparto.io/pricing.

What the call sets up

  1. Your location, on the Cafe preset, and you as its owner.
  2. The starter. On Setup you tap Show what's left, then Start with the Cafe starter, once. It adds three categories (Espresso, Coffee and tea, Pastries) with a few items in each, lets the cashier mark a thing sold out, and sets the tip buttons.
  3. Your tax rates, reviewed with you. The starter never sets tax; you confirm the rates yourself. See Tax rates.
  4. Your people, with a PIN each. See Add your people.

The starter is only for an empty menu. Once you have items it is not offered, so build on it from Menu: rename the starters, change prices, add your own. See Build your menu.

On the counter

You buy these from any retailer. We pair them with you on the call.

Try it first on the demo cafe at demo.sparto.app. It starts with the same three categories the starter gives you.
