Point of sale in Al Shamal
A POS system built for counters in Al Shamal
Business in Al Shamal is shaped by tourism and hospitality, ongoing construction and property development and fishing, farming and food production. 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 in Arabic and English with amounts in Qatari riyals, cash and card payments and a daily closing, on the same books as your invoices and purchases.
Why counters in Al Shamal are different
Tourism and hospitality
Visitors mean card payments, receipts in English and Arabic, and sharp peaks around weekends and holidays.
Ongoing construction and property development
Hardware and building-supply counters serve contractors on account and individual buyers for cash, often in the same hour.
Fishing, farming and food production
Shops and stalls tied to fishing and farming sell fast, mostly for cash, and the till has to keep up with the morning rush.
What the point of sale does at your counter
Receipts and totals are in Qatari riyals, with the dirhams shown on the receipt. No VAT is shown.
A fast cashier screen
Pick items and take payment in a few taps, so the queue keeps moving at your busiest hour.
Receipts in riyals, Arabic or English
Every receipt shows the amount in Qatari riyals with two decimals 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 Al Shamal
Does it suit a cafe as well as a shop?
Yes. The cashier screen is built for shops and cafes, and the daily closing works the same way for both.
What does a receipt from TAQNIX ERP show for a shop in Al Shamal?
The amount in Qatari riyals with two decimals, printed in Arabic, English or both. If you need to know what else a receipt must carry, confirm it with the General Tax Authority or your accountant.
Can the receipts be in Arabic and English for customers in Al Shamal?
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.
