InterCafe

InterCafe comes with a smart card and prepaid solution, member functions, a comfortable Cafe Manager System for sale of food and drinks and policy settings.

With the Software InterCafe you have a professional solution for the management of cybercafes which allows you to manage any number of Clients from one central Server in your Internet-Caf� by using the TCP/IP protocol.

After having installed the INTERCAFE - Client Software the Client-PCs can be configurated directly in the software. Besides many system settings you can specify for example which programs shall be closed when ending a session (e.g. Internet Explorer) and which directories are to be deleted (e.g. Cache of the browser).

Any PC in the network can function as Server. Install the INTERCAFE - Server Software on this computer to administrate, block and unblock the Client-Computers from there. Choose between many different kinds of billing and tariffs with scale prices and Happy Hours as well as differnt policy settings.

InerCafe is based on a modular system. You can find out for yourself which modules you wish to use.

You can choose between different types of Login at the Clients: Unblock a certain PC for a certain time for the customer (prepaid or post-paid at Server) or create member accounts with nickname and password so that the customers can login by entering this data at the Client-PC and using their pre-paid credit for payment. You can also hand out smart cards (member cards) to your customers which they can use for easy login.
