Why coffee shops need more than a card machine
Coffee shops thrive on speed — but in the morning rush or weekend bustle, even small delays can hurt your bottom line. Juggling walk-ins, takeaway orders, stock levels, and payments without the right tools slows things down. That’s where a smart POS system makes all the difference. Yoco helps you serve quicker, manage better, and keep your coffee shop running smoothly.
Fast reliable payments
Take card payments in seconds with the fastest transaction speeds in SA and get your money in just 2 days. Never miss a sale.

How a POS system works for coffee shops
Think of it as your coffee shop’s command centre. It combines two key parts — hardware and software — working seamlessly to help you serve quickly, cut down admin, and stay in control of your day-to-day operations.
Smart, secure, and built for busy coffee shops
This is the physical device your customers interact with — like the card machine on your counter or in your hands. Yoco POS devices are built for speed, with features like:
Contactless card payments
Bill splitting and tipping
Seamless checkouts at the counter or the table
Portable options to serve on the move

What happens during load shedding?
Our devices are built for South African businesses. They come with battery backup and mobile connectivity to keep you trading through loadshedding.
On a practical level, the integration between Yoco and Light Speed Tablet is great. The backend functions are really useful when you need to easily pull up a report, it’s incredibly user-friendly. It’s been smooth sailing - I love working with Yoco.

Since we opened our doors, Yoco has been a trusted partner, providing us with a reliable and efficient payment processing solution. Yoco’s user-friendly interface has made transactions smooth and hassle-free, allowing us to focus on what we do best.
Dave Kitley, Sneaker Shack
There’s the obvious simplicity and efficiency of having our point-of-sale system communicate directly with our payment devices. Limiting manual input with the POS directly pushing bill amounts to our Yoco devices mitigates errors and makes life easier, but the direct integration of POS and Yoco payment devices is valuable well beyond this ease and time-saving.
Chad, Father Coffee
I like that Yoco is integrated with our POS system. I love that it’s always working, whether we have loadshedding or not. I LOVE the people that work there and I’m always impressed by the customer service.
