INTRODUCTION
The software is the solution for an Internet cafe. The software provides you with a means to control the workstations, manage customer database, sell products and generate detailed reports and statistics.
This is a powerful Cyber Cafe management software that helps with managing customers and employees, controlling computers and printers, securing systems, accounting and billing. It simplifies and automates running your Internet Cafe business. Unlike many other competitive programs, CafeSuite is robust, quick, secure and very intuitive and easy to use. It doesn't matter how big your Internet cafe is - CafeSuite is capable of controlling any number of workstations. CafeSuite is designed to be a complete solution for Internet cafes and to make life easier for Internet cafe owners, operators and customers.
The basic task of our software is to provide operators and customers with an accurate timing and billing information at any time. CafeSuite keeps customer accounts, so that customers can log in on their own using username and password, printed account ticket with a timecode or even a magnetic card. It is possible to set any pricing you might imagine including periodic discounts on specific days or times, traffic and group discounts, time bonuses or points system. The software keeps inventory of products and services and supports POS devices such as receipt printers. Other important features include reservations, print control, remote screen and instant recovery of disk partitions. The software generates various statistics, which give detailed information about business performance. All transactions and actions are recorded into a database and can be viewed through multiple reports.

EXISTING SOFTWARE
CLINK- It is a software widely used in our neighborhood, developed by private programmers for Cyber Cell of our police department. The software connects each user of any cafe with an online database which is controlled by the server of cyber cell. It records the browsing history and the account details of every user who login and surf. Once a user login he is provided with an ID and password which can be used again. The security features are well maintained but it cannot satisfy every customer needs. The billing is based on the net time usage by the local server of the cafe. The existing versions of clink cannot prepare the bill based on the data usage. The billing system is not concerned with the data usage of each user.
One of the major drawback is the desktop background is recently replaced by the online advertisements. Other disadvantages are, it cannot be used to control gaming cafes and gaming workstations. It gives no print details and CD burning details.
No Reservation can be made by users but it gives debits for recent users.
Unused workstations cannot be securely locked so that no one can use them without proper authorization from the operator
