Choosing a POS for a Small Shop or Restaurant in Egypt: 10 Questions Before You Pay

Partager l'article

Most small business owners in Egypt pick a POS by price alone. Price matters, but a cheap system that can't control cash or stops at the first outage costs more. Ask these ten questions, with TtaKkaa's honest answers.

The basics

  1. Does it run on my devices? TtaKkaa runs on Android tablets and Windows 10 (64-bit), with most updates delivered over the air (tablet guide).
  2. Is it truly Arabic? Arabic-first in the POS and the dashboard.
  3. What if the internet drops? Orders are queued on the device and synced later without duplicates (details).

Your money

  1. Do I know what should be in the drawer? Shifts with expected vs counted cash, pay-in/pay-out, and a Z report.
  2. Who can void or refund? Only with a manager PIN and permission; refunds get credit notes; sensitive actions go to a hash-chained audit trail.
  3. Which payment methods? Split tender across cash, card (recorded from your external terminal; no integrated terminal), bank transfer, store wallet and loyalty points. Online gateway payments are not enabled for merchants yet.

Your stock

  1. Does it know real stock? Stock counts, low-stock alerts, suppliers and purchase orders; recipes deduct ingredients in restaurants.
  2. Is barcode selling fast? Keyboard-wedge scanners plus printable labels (label guide); batches and expiry for pharmacies.

Receipts and tax

  1. What does the receipt print? Thermal (Bluetooth/network) or PDF, with your logo, an Egypt invoice title and gapless invoice numbers. Test the printer first.
  2. Is my business mandated to use the e-receipt system? The Egyptian Tax Authority runs the e-receipt system and mandates it for categories of taxpayers through published decisions; see the official e-receipt guide on eta.gov.eg. TtaKkaa is not integrated with the e-receipt system today. If you are mandated, settle this before choosing any POS.

Before you pay

  • Try it on your current device.
  • Disconnect the internet, sell twice, reconnect, check both orders arrived.
  • Open a shift, sell, close it and read the Z report.
  • Try a void from a plain cashier account: it must ask for the manager PIN.
  • Test printer, scanner and drawer.
  • Get the monthly and yearly price in writing.

Start small: from signup to first sale, or contact the TtaKkaa team.

Questions fréquentes

Is TtaKkaa integrated with the Egyptian Tax Authority e-receipt system?

No, e-receipt integration is not available in TtaKkaa today. If your business is mandated to use the system, settle that before choosing any POS.

Do I need new hardware?

Often not. The TtaKkaa POS runs on Android tablets and Windows 10 (64-bit). Test your printer and scanner with it before buying.

Does the POS work when the internet drops?

Yes. It stores orders on the device and syncs them when you are back online. The first login and product load need the internet.
