Mkahawa Cyber Manager Billing System

We got too many cyber cafe billing system and point of sales software to tested on this month, all of them just based on open source, and one of them is mkahawa.

This great software inherit many features from CCL with many enhancement, as you knows CCL is one of our best billing and point of sales system we ever use.

Mkahawa is a swahili word for Cafe. Mkahawa builds on the small but fast Cafe Con Leche (CCL) – the light, but ultra-fast C++ Internet Cafe Management Software for Linux and Windows. This is but a continuation of CCL development in just another form.
