# Restaurant and café POS system in Iraq

> A restaurant POS records dine-in, takeaway and delivery orders, sends them to the kitchen instantly, deducts each dish’s ingredients from stock by recipe, then calculates true profit per item. Al-Arjan builds Arabic restaurant and café systems that work offline and handle peak-hour rushes in Iraq.

## Who it’s for

- Casual and family restaurants
- Cafés and coffee shops
- Multi-branch restaurant chains
- Delivery-only (cloud) kitchens

## Problems it solves

- Orders lost between counter and kitchen at rush hour
- Nobody knows the real cost per dish as meat and produce prices change
- Waste that only shows up at month end
- Hard to balance the till and hand over shifts

## Modules

- **Tables & floor**: Floor map, merge and split tables, split bills.
- **Kitchen tickets**: Printer or kitchen screen per station (grill, starters, drinks).
- **Takeaway & delivery**: Phone, WhatsApp and app orders with delivery fees and drivers.
- **Recipes & stock**: Each dish deducts its ingredients, with low-stock alerts.
- **Shifts & till**: Open and close shifts with cash counts in dinar and dollar.
- **Menu reports**: Best sellers, highest margin and loss-making items.

## How does the system know a dish’s real cost?

**Through recipes: you define ingredient quantities per dish once, and the system multiplies them by the latest purchase prices, showing each dish’s margin and updating with every purchase invoice.**

This reveals, for example, that a best-selling dish earns little after meat prices rose, so you adjust price or portion on a number, not a hunch.

## What happens if internet or power drops at peak time?

**The POS and kitchen tickets keep working on the local network without internet, and data syncs to management automatically once reconnected.**
