Venter with sponsorship from OutKast I.T. Solutions C.C. and the kind contributions of several volunteers. OutKafe is running hundreds cybercafe’s at business, schools and other establishments around the world - shouldn’t it be running yours too ???

Purpose and Goals

OutKafe aims to be an all-in-one solution for one core purpose: managing time in cybercafe’s. It provides a powerful plugin architecture which allows it to work together with products like CRM or accounting systems, rather than duplicating their functionality.

We keep track of open bugs, feature request and plans for the future in the bluesky page.

• A server-daemon for counting time down centrally outkafed

• A number of platform specific clients apps which control login on your terminals including clients for linux and windows
  
• A central database server (currently only postgresql is supported)
  
• A back-end library to abstract all database work out for ease of maintenance and stability across the various components.
