InterCafe Security Related Security for Windows

An easy to use management software for Internet Cafes
InterCafe comes with a smart card and prepaid solution, member functions, a comfortable Cafe Manager System for sale of food and drinks and policy settings.

With the Software InterCafe you have a professional solution for the management of cybercafes which allows you to manage any number of Clients from one central Server in your Internet-Caf? by using the TCP/IP protocol.

After having installed the INTERCAFE – Client Software the Client-PCs can be configurated directly in the software. Besides many system settings you can specify for example which programs shall be closed when ending a session (e.g. Internet Explorer) and which directories are to be deleted (e.g. Cache of the browser).

Any PC in the network can function as Server. Install the INTERCAFE – Server Software on this computer to administrate, block and unblock the Client-Computers from there. Choose between many different kinds of billing and tariffs with scale prices and Happy Hours as well as differnt policy settings.

InerCafe is based on a modular system. You can find out for yourself which modules you wish to use.

You can choose between different types of Login at the Clients: Unblock a certain PC for a certain time for the customer (prepaid or post-paid at Server) or create member accounts with nickname and password so that the customers can login by entering this data at the Client-PC and using their pre-paid credit for payment. You can also hand out smart cards (member cards) to your customers which they can use for easy login.

Login with LoginCodes or by inserting coins in a coin validator is possible, too.
