Join the FloPOS community in the channel you already use.
GitHub is great for code, but restaurant owners live on WhatsApp, email, and social media. FloPOS should meet users there: quick help, shared setup notes, release updates, and practical restaurant POS education.

Public questions help the next operator too.
Use Reddit for searchable discussions about restaurant workflows, hardware, offline operation, feature ideas, and lessons learned. Join r/FloPOS and introduce your restaurant or project.
Ask setup questions
Share your country, device, OS, installation method, printer model, and a screenshot. That gives the community enough context to help.
Message WhatsAppShare field notes
Post what worked in your restaurant: hardware, local taxes, workflows, translations, printing, backups, and staff training tips.
Support optionsInternational audience
Give users more than one door.
International users may not know GitHub, may not speak the same first language, and may be evaluating FloPOS from a phone. Keep the entry points simple: WhatsApp for quick help, email for detailed support, docs for self-service, social media for discovery, and GitHub for technical work.
Use WhatsApp for community and onboarding. Use email for longer requests. Use Instagram to show the software visually: short proof that the POS can be downloaded, installed, configured, and used by a real restaurant.

Content ideas
Yes, create Instagram content around FloPOS.
Short video is useful because many restaurant owners want to see the workflow before reading documentation.
30-second setup clips
Show download, install, first menu item, first order, first receipt, and first kitchen ticket.
Restaurant workflows
One reel per use case: cafe rush, bakery counter, food truck, dine-in table, takeaway order, and kitchen display.
Trust content
Explain free forever, open source, local data, backups, and why restaurant data should stay with the operator.
Community prompts
Ask users what country they are in, which printer they use, what tax rules they need, and what language they want next.
Release updates
Show what changed in each release with screenshots and plain-language benefits, not developer changelog jargon.
Support snippets
Turn repeated WhatsApp questions into posts: install help, printer setup, backups, menu import, and common mistakes.
Technical community
GitHub still matters, just not for everyone.
Keep GitHub for code, issues, releases, and contributions. Keep WhatsApp, email, and social content for operators who want to use the software, not study the repository.
GitHub issues
Best for repeatable bugs, feature requests, packaging problems, and development work.
Open issuesContributing
Help with docs, translations, hardware compatibility, testing, design, and focused code changes.
ContributeDocumentation
Turn community questions into durable guides so the next user can solve the same problem faster.
