Puffer started because running a restaurant shouldn't require a team of analysts and a stack of disconnected apps. We wanted one honest tool that just works - and keeps getting better.
The idea for Puffer came from a simple frustration: watching café owners juggle three different apps, a notebook for stock, and a spreadsheet for daily sales - then still not really knowing how their business was doing.
We built the first version of Puffer to replace all of that with one screen. Orders on the left, today's numbers on the right. Stock that updates itself. A daily snapshot you could actually understand in 60 seconds.
That first version was rough. But businesses started using it - and asking for more. So we kept building: membership plans, ticket systems, inventory tracking by ingredient, a full analytics archive, and a settings engine that doesn't require a developer to configure.
Today, Puffer is used by 200+ businesses across Egypt. We're still small, still hands-on, and still obsessed with the same original problem: making operations effortless for the people who run them.
We believe every business owner deserves real-time clarity about what's happening in their operation - not just at month-end, and not only if they can afford a BI consultant.
You shouldn't have to wait for a weekly report to know if today was good. Puffer tells you now.
From the owner reviewing margins to the cashier ringing in an order - Puffer works for the whole team.
You should be up and running in one shift, not one month. We design for fast onboarding, not feature sprawl.
Your business data is yours. We're a tool, not a data broker. Everything we collect is to serve you - nothing else.
We build features that save real minutes in a real shift. If it doesn't make your workday faster or clearer, it doesn't ship.
We designed Puffer for the people who run the floor - not for investors, analysts, or boardroom presentations.
We're a young platform with a focused mission. We'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than the other way around.
2023
Puffer launched as an internal tool for a single café in Cairo. Orders, products, and daily reports - nothing more.
2024
After refining the core POS and analytics experience, we opened access to other restaurants and retail shops.
2025
Added ingredient-level stock tracking, membership plans, ticket systems, and a fully centralized settings engine.
Now
200+ businesses on the platform. We're growing slowly and deliberately - reliability over growth at all costs.
Your orders, customers, products, and revenues are yours. We store them to run the platform - nothing else. We don't sell data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't use it to build profiles.
In the future, we plan to introduce optional benchmark features - things like "your average order value vs similar cafés in your city." These features would rely on anonymized, aggregated data pooled from across the Puffer network. Your specific numbers would never be identifiable. And participation is entirely opt-in.
If you opt out, every core feature keeps working. The only things you'd miss are the optional benchmark comparisons - future features that don't yet exist.
