new: run more than the floor.

The latest release adds the tools cafe owners asked for most: remote help, shared Steam accounts, a real bar till and more than one location.

Remote PC controlNew

See any PC screen live, and help with the mouse and keyboard.

Watch a player's screen from the desk and take over the mouse and keyboard to fix a game, a login or a setting, without walking over. The player always sees a notice while staff are watching.

  • Live picture about twice a second
  • Click, right-click, scroll and type on the PC
  • View-only or control, by staff role
  • Ends by itself when you close the page
Admin · Live screen

Steam account sharingNew

Your own Steam accounts, lent to PCs with Steam Guard handled.

Add the cafe's Steam accounts and the games each one owns. When a player starts one of those games, a free account signs in on that PC, the Steam Guard code is typed for them, and Steam signs out when the session ends.

  • Passwords and shared_secret stored encrypted
  • One account on one PC at a time
  • Players can still use their own Steam account
  • Steam forgets the account after every session
Settings · Steam accounts

Multi-locationNew

One server for several cafes, members shared between them.

Open a second venue without a second system. Members, balances, prices and games are shared; each location keeps its own PCs, tables, shifts, till, takings and bar stock. Owners switch locations or see all of them together.

  • Staff tied to one location, owners see all
  • Separate till, kusur and daily takings per venue
  • Bar stock and bar book per location
  • Switch it on only when you need it
Admin · Takings

Bar till and stockNew

Sell drinks and food, track stock, print the bar book.

A touch-friendly till for the bar and the tables, with supplier invoices, stock, write-offs, counts and the bar book your accountant asks for. Already using another bar program? Count the bar at the end of the shift and the takings are worked out for you.

  • Orders on a table or on the PC bill
  • Supplier invoices, average purchase prices and margins
  • Bar book (daily book) and calculations, ready to print
  • Count mode for a bar sold in another program
Admin · Till

Shifts and cashNew

Every shift counted, every difference kept per cashier.

Each cashier opens a shift that starts with the whole till, counts it at closing and leaves the difference on their own shift. Owners take the cash out per day or per shift and always see what should be in the till.

  • Opening float (kusur) that never leaves the till
  • Blind counts for cashiers, if you want them
  • Cash and card per shift and per day
  • Alerts when a count is short
Bar · Bar book

Memberships, vouchers and online top-upNew

VIP memberships, night passes, gift cards and card payments.

Sell monthly memberships with free hours or a discount on time, gift vouchers printed at the desk, and let players top up their balance by card in the app. Card payments are booked automatically, with a receipt.

  • Monthly VIP and night pass plans
  • Printed gift vouchers with a code
  • Online top-up by card (Monri), on or off
  • Every sale on a fiscal or advance receipt
Members · Gift vouchers

Staff schedule and hoursNew

Plan the week, see who came late and what to pay.

Plan shifts week by week, copy last week in one click, and compare the plan with the real shifts: hours worked, late starts, missed shifts and the total to pay at each person's hourly rate.

  • Shifts past midnight handled
  • Late starts and missed shifts flagged
  • Hourly rate and total per month
  • Every staff member sees their own plan

questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? Write to hello@nostro.tech.

What is internet cafe software?

Internet cafe software (also called gaming cafe or cyber cafe management software) bills the time players spend on PCs and consoles, locks the PCs when the time is up, and handles members, payments and reports. Nostro adds a bar till, stock, shifts, remote control and a player app.

Do I pay a monthly fee?

Only if you choose the cloud. The licence is a one-time purchase with no subscription, and runs on your own server. The cloud adds 30 EUR a month to the licence, and we run the server for you.

Is Nostro an alternative to ggLeap, Gizmo, SENET or Smartlaunch?

Yes. Nostro covers the same core job of PC billing, lock screens and members, and adds consoles, a bar till with stock, shifts and cash, multi-location and a player app, under a one-time licence.

What do the cafe PCs need?

Windows 10 or 11. The Nostro client installs in a few minutes, creates a locked guest account and pairs with your server using a code from the admin.

Can staff control a PC remotely?

Yes. Staff can watch any PC screen live and, with the right role, use the mouse and keyboard to help a player. The player always sees a notice while someone is watching.

Can the cafe share its own Steam accounts?

Yes. Add the cafe's Steam accounts with their games and Steam Guard shared_secret. A free account signs in on the PC for the session, and Steam signs out and forgets it when the session ends.

Can I run more than one location?

Yes. One server can run several cafes with shared members and balances, while each location keeps its own PCs, shifts, till, takings and bar stock. It stays switched off until you need it.

Can I bill PlayStation and simulator stations?

Yes. Consoles and simulators sit on the same live map as the PCs, with the same sessions, prices and reports.

Does it handle the bar and fiscal receipts?

Yes. The bar till sells drinks and food with stock, invoices and a bar book, and receipts go through a certified fiscal processor. If your bar runs on another program, you can count the bar at the end of each shift instead.

What happens if the internet goes down?

Each PC carries on with the session it knows and locks when the time is up. Everything lines up again as soon as the connection returns.

Can I move my members from another system?

Yes. Members can be imported from a CSV file, with their balances and contact details.
