OutKafe is a comprehensive software for managing internet cafes. It offers a variety of management tools, allowing users to track usage, manage resources, and perform other essential tasks.
The initial release, 5.0.0, is built on the last 4.x release of ZybaCafe but with a few upgrades, such as bugfixes and rebranding. The upcoming phase of the project will replace all the closed-source parts of ZybaCafe, including the windows client, with GPL'd replacements.
OutKafe is composed of a server-side administration suite and clients that enable users to manage time-control on machines. While it uses postgresql as its RDBMS in the standard version, porting it to other database systems should be feasible. Additionally, OutKafe boasts a powerful plugin architecture that allows for easy extensibility and integration with other tools, such as accounting packages and CRM systems.
The latest release of OutKafe includes several small text layout bug fixes and an upgrade in database performance. It also addresses a major bug in the pause-timer function. This version is the first to include a natively compiled 64-bit release that should simplify the installation process for x86-64 users. Finally, the installer was replaced with GTK2, removing the last GTK 1.2 dependency in the program. With its free, open-source nature and comprehensive features, OutKafe is an excellent candidate for internet cafe management.
