The main application window is intuitive and provides easy control over various tasks, from setting up the rates, creating user groups or handling the sales.

In order to reduce costs, TrueCafé includes power management options. These allow remote management of the computers by turning them off automatically after entering into idle mode as well as powering them up again when needed.

Moreover, all the terminals can receive the power down command from the console with a single mouse click.

Before starting my own cyber cafe, I had 7 years of experience running 3 different cyber cafes (Galax InfoTech, SuperFast Internet and 1 Touch Computers) in Buea, Cameroon.

For over eight years I have tested almost every windows based Internet cafe software on the internet. I say with total confidence that TrueCafe is the very best. No more searching for and testing other cyber cafe softwares. TrueCafe has EVERYTHING I need. Yes, it does!!! It is the easiest, most flexible, most stable and most complete cyber cafe software on the planet. I can also say it is the most affordable because the price is almost nothing compared to what the software offers. You pay only once for a license and get free upgrades.

There are no lies/exaggerations on the TrueCafe website. The forum is very active and support provided by the TrueCafe Team is awesome. All the tons of features listed are actually present in the software and work exactly as described.

I downloaded the free/trial version of Truecafe. I have set up my internet cafe using this Internet cafe software. I wish to pay for the software as I can see that a lot of thought, analysis, design, programming and testing has gone into the product. I am impressed.

I am proud to be a TrueCafe user. I went through so much trouble to purchase this software so I value it very much. I have used a lot of cyber cafe software before i finally decided to purhcase truecafe so i love it. First of all i love it because of its simplicity and i think if i say so any one who has purchased this software will agree with me.

Thank you guys for that ingenious piece of work with that Internet cafe software. I and all my colleagues in our company admire it well. I am going to be setting up more resource centers across our country over the next few weeks. I will make sure to use only Truecafe for our control. It’s working! Particularly, its ability to do Wi-Fi billing and send us report via email. Great job!

Congratulations on the software, it seems to be so much more stable and user-friendly than the package we’ve been using for the last two years. We’ve had no end of trouble with it. Best of luck with future developments on TrueCafe!

You know the really cool thing about you guys besides your brilliant software, is your prompt and efficient response to complaints and requests. I’m happy to say your solution worked for me and I’m happily using the evaluation copy of your software now.
