Amari POS is a point-of-sale and inventory management app built for Philippine milk tea and coffee shops. It runs on any tablet or phone with a browser — no installation, no downloads. This article gives you the 5-minute tour so you know what the app can do before you start setting it up.
What Amari POS does
Amari handles the 7 things a busy branch needs every day:
- Sales at the counter — take orders, apply modifiers (size, flavor, add-ons), accept cash or GCash, and print receipts to a Bluetooth thermal printer.
- Shifts — open a shift with starting cash, track who is on duty, log expenses throughout the day, and close the shift with a reconciled cash drawer count.
- Inventory — track every ingredient and supply, count stock, set low-stock alerts, and request replenishment from your warehouse when you're running low.
- Products & recipes — define menu items with sizes, variants, and ingredient recipes so stock deducts automatically as you sell.
- QR ordering — customers scan a printed QR code, browse your menu on their phone, and submit an order that lands directly in your POS.
- Reports & accounting — daily sales, top products, staff performance, a per-shift profit & loss, and a branch-level net income.
- Team management — invite cashiers and kitchen staff, assign roles, and give each person a quick-login PIN.
Who uses Amari POS
There are two types of users inside the app:
- Owners — you. Full access to everything: products, branches, reports, accounting, billing, settings.
- Staff — cashiers and kitchen crew. They can run the POS, log expenses, count inventory, and request replenishment — but not see financials or change settings.
One account can manage many branches
If you own multiple locations, you can add them all under one Amari account and switch between them from the top-left branch selector. Each branch has its own products, inventory, shifts, and sales.
What you need to get started
- A tablet or phone with a modern browser (Chrome on Android, Safari on iPad)
- A Bluetooth thermal receipt printer (58mm or 80mm paper) — optional but recommended
- Internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data)
- 15–30 minutes to complete the setup checklist the first time
Your first 30 minutes
Here's the fastest path from signup to taking your first sale:
- Sign up and start your 7-day free trial
- Add your branch (name, address, code for QR ordering)
- Add your ingredients and supplies (or import our Duo Brew defaults if you're on that menu)
- Add your products with sizes and recipes
- Invite your cashiers so they can sign in with a PIN
- Connect your Bluetooth printer
- Open your first shift and take a test sale
Every one of those steps has its own help article. Start with Setting up your first branch and work down the list.
