What CAKE is
CAKE is a web-based restaurant point-of-sale system combining payment processing with operational tools and 24/7 human support. Its POS includes reporting, analytics, and staff management. Restaurants can offer order-ahead pickup, curbside pickup, and delivery through their own fleet, while reservation, menu, table, and staff-scheduling tools cover additional workflows. The Kitchen Display System routes orders to stations and alerts staff when food is ready; it is optional in Growth and Scale. Loyalty and marketing features provide automated rewards, personalized offers, and built-in email marketing. Named integrations include 7shifts, QuickBooks and Xero through Shogo, DAVO, Olo, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Paytronix, and Restaurant365. CAKE says its payments are PCI-compliant and supports offline payments when Wi-Fi is unavailable. Core is for single-location restaurants, while Scale targets multi-location brands. Pricing is from $79/mo, with no free plan or trial.
