Uncle Sayed's butcher shop in Shubra: selling meat by the gram, accurately

Uncle Sayed opens Al-Amana Butcher in Shubra at seven every morning, and before the doors even open he used to sit with a notebook: how many kilos of meat are left, how many customers asked for "a quarter kilo of kofta" and how many for "half a kilo of fillet" — all while standing with a line already forming behind him.

The problem that ate his time every single day

It was never about skill — Uncle Sayed has run a butcher shop for twenty years. The problem was that every weight-based sale meant a manual calculation: weigh the meat, work out the price on a calculator, write the receipt by hand, then try to remember at month-end how many kilos of each cut he sold so he'd know how much to order from his supplier.

How Ttakka's cashier changed his day

The first thing Uncle Sayed did with the Ttakka team: register every item in the shop (kofta, fillet, beef shank, lamb) and mark each one as priced per kilo, not per piece. After that, every sale became:

1. Pick the item on the cashier screen.
2. Enter the weight manually from the cashier screen (pulling it straight from a connected scale is coming in the next update).
3. The screen calculates the price automatically: price-per-kilo × weight.
4. Print a clear receipt showing the item, the weight in grams, and the total.

No manual math, no number mistakes, and the customer sees exactly what they're paying and for how many grams.

Stock is in his hands now, not just in his head

Ttakka also lets Uncle Sayed flag any item as "low stock" once it's running out, so he sees it right on the cashier screen instead of opening a notebook or calling his supplier while unsure. Ordering meat became far easier, with no guessing.

Even when the internet drops

Shubra's connection can get weak during peak hours. Ttakka's cashier keeps working offline and continues selling normally, syncing every invoice automatically once the connection is back — Uncle Sayed never has to turn a customer away because of a router hiccup.

The numbers, honestly

Instead of spending half an hour every night tallying the day's sales by hand, Uncle Sayed now sees the day's sales and shift totals ready on screen in seconds. Instead of being surprised at week's end that he ran out of fillet without noticing, he sees remaining stock as it happens.
