Point of sale in Al Wakrah
Point of sale software for shops and cafes in Al Wakrah
Business in Al Wakrah is shaped by port, freight and logistics activity, a busy retail and commercial market and ongoing construction and property development. 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 Wakrah are different
Port, freight and logistics activity
Port and freight crews shop at all hours. A quick cashier screen and a clear daily closing keep shifts easy to account for.
A busy retail and commercial market
On a busy retail street every second saved at the till shortens the queue, and a clear receipt cuts disputes.
Ongoing construction and property development
Hardware and building-supply counters serve contractors on account and individual buyers for cash, often in the same hour.
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 Wakrah
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.
Do I need an internet connection at the counter?
TAQNIX ERP runs on your own Mac and opens in your browser. Everyday invoicing and reports do not need an internet connection.
How do I handle a return?
Issue a credit note against the original sale. The original receipt stays as it was, and the credit note keeps a clear trail for your records.
What hardware do I need for a counter in Al Wakrah?
TAQNIX ERP runs on a Mac. Before you buy, ask us about your receipt printer and barcode scanner so we can tell you what works with it.
