Drink Shop Digital System

Overview

Many beverage shops already use separate tools for online ordering, counter checkout and marketing — yet still struggle with peak-hour queues, shift cash mismatch and fragmented member data. A practical drink shop digital system connects online ordering + in-store POS + unified merchant admin on one backend, so every cup — from order to pickup — stays trackable.

Harland's Drink Shop is a full-chain solution for bubble tea shops, coffee shops and light F&B stores. It covers customer self-ordering, cashier operations, merchant operations and store management in one platform.

Five Clients, One Backend

• Customer App — Browse menu, add specs, coupons & points, online payment, order tracking, store pickup and notifications (iOS / Android / H5).
• Cashier POS — Large-screen ordering desk, local drafts, cash / transfer / card payment, cup-label printing, shift reconciliation and staff performance.
• Merchant PC Admin — Products & specs, marketing, dashboards, members, refunds, roles/permissions and audit logs.
• Merchant Mobile App — Mobile order acceptance, order handling and message center for managers and baristas away from the desk.
• Unified Backend — Orders, payments, messaging and print jobs maintained in one place so multi-client data stays consistent in real time.

Key Capabilities

• Unified online & offline orders — App and POS orders share one workflow (pending payment → pending accept → making → ready → completed), with channel-isolated reporting and promotions.
• Professional cashier & shift close — Mixed payments, automatic change, float cash, cash in/out, over/short checks and end-of-shift reports without digging through every receipt.
• Marketing & loyalty — Coupons (full-reduction / discount), points earn & redeem, timed deals, home banners and popularity ranking by real sales.
• Kitchen collaboration — Orders in “making” can auto-trigger ESC/POS cup-label print jobs (product, specs, pickup number) to cut shout-out errors.
• Real-time reach — WebSocket order/status push, in-app messages and local notifications for payment, ready-for-pickup and merchant alerts.
• Secure merchant control — Role + menu permissions, login/operation audit, member profiles; customer / merchant / cashier / platform tokens stay isolated.
• Internationalization — Chinese / English / Español across customer, POS and merchant UIs — ready for overseas stores or multilingual teams.
• Data-driven ops — Order volume, revenue, hot products, add-on sales, exchange stats and POS channel metrics on merchant dashboards.

Typical Store Scenarios

• Pre-order & pickup — Customer pays on the app → store accepts & makes → pickup code / QR verification → complete.
• Peak counter rush — POS fast ordering → cash or card checkout → automatic cup-label print.
• Daily shift handover — Sales, cash, deposits/withdrawals, over/short and cancelled orders in one reconciliation view.
• Promotion & acquisition — Coupon templates + claim center + timed deals + home recommendations used together.
• Multi-language stores — Staff and customers switch language independently.
• Chain growth — Role permissions, audit trails and cashier performance comparison across staff.

Technology Foundation

The platform is built on Java 17 and Spring Boot 3 with modular services, OpenAPI (Knife4j) documentation, and SQL scripts for both greenfield deploy and incremental migration. Orders can be pushed to third-party systems with logging and scheduled retry — practical for shops that later connect ERP or finance tools.
