Kahvila Rakastan runs coffee, cocktails, and garden tables in one flow
Kahvila Rakastan moves from plant-based coffee drinks and pastries to vegan wines, cocktails, and garden tables. The system has to follow that shift without making the place feel like a tech counter.

Known for
Plant-based Karelian pastries, plant-based coffee drinks, teas, vegan wines, and rotating cocktails
A vegan café with more than one mood
A morning of coffee and pastries can turn into an evening of vegan wines and cocktails. The work changes shape, but the room still needs a calm hand at the counter.
- Move counter orders through when the garden tables fill up.
- Handle pastries, plant-based coffee drinks, and evening drinks without a separate way of working for each.
- Leave the end of a mixed shift easy to read, not a puzzle to solve.
Orders and totals beside the service
Fiest keeps orders, payments, and shift totals close to the work, so the team is not reconstructing a mixed café day after the doors close.
- The next guest stays the focus when the garden fills.
- Each payment remains tied to the order it belongs to.
- The shift can be reviewed without rebuilding it from scattered notes.
The garden remains the story
The point was never to make Rakastan feel like a tech operation. It is to let the heritage, products, guests, and garden remain visible while the operational layer does its work quietly.
- Garden-table service remains light.
- There are fewer separate places to check during and after the shift.
- Reporting sets up the next day without changing how the café feels.
