Power cuts and patchy fibre shouldn't stop a Friday-night rush. Here's how Kripos keeps every till selling — and syncs exactly once when the connection returns.
Every restaurant owner in Sri Lanka has a story about the night the internet died at the worst possible moment. Cloud POS systems are wonderful until the router blinks — then the queue grows, bills are written by hand and the numbers never quite match.
Offline is not an edge case
We designed Kripos assuming the connection will drop. Every till keeps a full working copy of the menu, prices, open orders and staff PINs. Sales are written locally first and sent to the cloud in the background.
Exactly once, never twice
The hard part of offline sync isn't storing data — it's sending it back without duplicates. Each order carries a unique ID created on the device, so if a sync is interrupted and retried, the server recognises it and never counts the sale twice.
The outlet hub
In a busy restaurant the tills, kitchen screens and waiter phones need to talk to each other even when the internet is gone. The Kripos outlet hub runs on the local network, so a new order still reaches the kitchen in under a second.
What it means for you
- No lost sales during outages
- No manual re-entry after the fact
- Reports that match the cash drawer
