Multi-company. Multi-location. Cloud-based with full offline mode. The point-of-sale and back-office platform we built ourselves because nothing on the market actually fit how a real retail operation runs day to day.
Export from the Point of Sale. Reformat in Excel. Upload to the payroll service. Fix errors. Re-upload. Now do it for the other company. Now do it again next week.
Your POS, your payroll, your scheduler, your inventory, your reporting: five different vendors, five subscriptions, five places to file a ticket when something breaks at the seam between them.
Want a custom report? Per-store pricing? A schedule that builds itself? Move stock between locations? Add another zero to your bill. Or hear “not on the roadmap.”
We waited years for someone to ship the right tool. They never did. So we built one system where every part comes from the same team, ships on the same release, and shares the same database.
Run every company you own from the same back office. Switch with one click. Permissions stay where they belong, payroll runs separately, taxes file correctly.
Hours, sales, commission, deductions: all calculated from the data your registers already capture. Exports straight to ADP, Gusto, or your provider. No more Payroll Tuesday.
Auto-fill from employee preferences and last week's pattern. Conflict warnings before you publish. Employees see it on their phone, request swaps, get push notifications.
Every register works fully offline. Take payment, print receipts, look up customers, all without internet. Everything syncs the moment the network returns.
See sales, hours, and cash for every location as they happen. Alerts the moment something needs your attention: short drawer, missing closeout, a refund waiting on you.
From drawer count to bank deposit, every dollar has a trail. Who counted what, when, from which register. End cash shortages without playing detective.
Lease terms drive the math. Percent-rent calculated from live sales. Reports auto-generate and send on your schedule. Stop spending Saturday on the rent spreadsheet.
Schedules, paystubs, time off, swap requests, announcements, all on every employee's phone. They stop texting you about Saturday's shift. You stop being the answer service.
No payment-processor lock-in. The hardware doesn't care which provider you use. Switch when the rate's wrong. Keep your tablets when you do.
Most “all-in-one” offerings are five separate products acquired over the years and stitched together with nightly imports. Kapara is a single product designed end to end. The sale you ring up is the same record your manager sees on the dashboard, the same record payroll uses for commission, the same record your landlord report pulls from at month end.
We spent careers building tools at some of the largest tech companies in the world. When we moved into retail and tried to run our own stores on what was on the market, we couldn't believe the gap between what's possible and what every owner is forced to put up with.
Most Point of Sale software is built by engineers who've never run a register, or by retailers who learned just enough code to ship something. Kapara comes from the rare overlap. Every shortcut, every report, every weird edge case is in there because someone on our floor needed it on a Tuesday afternoon.
We're early in opening Kapara to operators outside our own stores. If yours sounds like the kind we built this for, reach out. We'd love to hear what you're working around today.
