Point of sale for Bahrain
POS software for Bahraini shops, cafés and restaurants
Our point of sale runs counters, tables and kitchens for Bahraini retailers and restaurants, prints receipts with 10% VAT, takes BenefitPay and Benefit cards, and keeps stock in step across branches and your online store.
Receipts that carry 10% VAT correctly
Every sale in a VAT-registered Bahraini business needs a receipt that shows your VAT number, the tax on each item and the total in BHD. Our POS calculates VAT per line to three decimals, handles zero-rated and exempt items where your range includes them, and issues credit notes for returns that point back to the original sale. Z reports and period summaries give your accountant the figures for the NBR return.
Rounding is where small errors creep in. A dinar divides into 1,000 fils, and discounts, promotions and split bills can leave a total one fils out if the software rounds at the wrong point. We agree the rounding rule with your accountant and test receipts, Z reports and exports against it before your first branch goes live.
BenefitPay, Benefit cards and other payments
Bahraini customers pay by Benefit debit card, BenefitPay from their phone, credit card, Apple Pay or cash, and often split a bill across two of these. The POS records each method separately, links to card terminals where your bank or provider offers an integration, and can show a BenefitPay QR code for the customer to scan where your merchant provider supports it.
At shift close, the cashier's count is compared with recorded cash, card and BenefitPay totals, and differences are flagged before the drawer is signed off. Head office sees takings by branch and payment method for outlets in Manama, Seef, Riffa and Muharraq in one report, ready to reconcile against bank settlements.
Restaurants, retail and online on one stock
Restaurant mode covers table plans, modifiers, course firing and kitchen display screens, with takeaway and delivery orders in the same queue. Retail mode handles barcodes, weighed goods, gift cards and loyalty points. A business that needs both, such as a grocery with a coffee counter, runs them on one back office with shared stock, suppliers and purchasing.
Weekend shoppers from Saudi Arabia are a familiar sight in Bahrain's malls, and stock has to keep up with them. Low-stock alerts, reorder points and transfers between branches keep popular items on the shelf, and the POS syncs with Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom web store so online stock matches the shops. The till keeps selling through internet outages and syncs afterwards.
