Point of sale in Manama
Point of sale software for shops and cafes in Manama
Business in Manama is shaped by finance, consulting and professional services, government and public-sector demand and wholesale and re-export trade. For a shop or cafe counter, that decides what the till has to do all day. TAQNIX ERP gives your counter a fast cashier screen, receipts that show 10% VAT in Arabic and English, cash and card payments and a daily closing, on the same books as your invoices and purchases.
Why counters in Manama are different
Finance, consulting and professional services
Cafes and shops in office districts peak at breakfast and lunch. A tidy closing at the end of the day keeps the takings easy to review.
Government and public-sector demand
Counters near government offices see steady daily footfall and many small purchases. Speed at the till matters more than anything else.
Wholesale and re-export trade
Wholesale counters ring up many small cash sales next to large credit orders. The point of sale should handle both without a second system.
What the point of sale does at your counter
Receipts and totals are in Bahraini dinars with three decimals, so every fils shows, with the VAT shown as its own amount.
A fast cashier screen
Pick items and take payment in a few taps, so the queue keeps moving at your busiest hour.
Receipts that show the VAT
Every receipt shows 10% VAT clearly and prints in Arabic, English or both.
Cash and card
Record whether each sale was paid in cash or by card.
A daily closing
Close the day and see the cash and card takings added up, ready for review.
Credit notes for returns
Correct a returned sale with a credit note against the original, not by editing the receipt.
Purchases from suppliers
Raise purchase orders to your suppliers and keep their bills with them.
The cashier screen
Ring up sales at the counter, take cash or card and print the receipt. Built for shops and cafes.

Point of sale questions from Manama
Does TAQNIX ERP print receipts that show VAT for a shop in Manama?
Yes. Receipts show the 10% VAT as its own amount. The details a receipt or tax invoice must carry are set by the tax authority, so confirm them with the authority or your accountant.
Can the receipts be in Arabic and English for customers in Manama?
Yes. Receipts print in Arabic, English or both, so a tourist and a local regular can each read theirs.
How does the daily closing work?
At the end of the day you close the day and see the cash and card takings added up. Compare them with what is in the drawer and the card machine before you leave.
Which payment methods can I record at the counter?
Cash and card. Each sale records how it was paid, so the closing can total each method separately.
