Family dining, catering and canteens: a restaurant POS for Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi restaurants serve families in the city, workers in Mussafah and offices across the capital. Restaurant POS Studio prints VAT-ready tax invoices with your TRN, tracks large catering orders, and lets an Arabic, Urdu or English-speaking team read the same ticket.

Can the POS handle corporate catering orders?
Yes. Catering orders can be taken as their own order type, with a customer record, delivery time and notes. Large quantities and set packages are built as products, and the kitchen screen shows them next to dine-in orders. Several payment methods can settle one invoice, including partial payments.
Many Abu Dhabi restaurants cook for offices, sites and events as well as their dining room. Keeping catering in the same POS means one stock count, one sales report and one VAT report.
Tax invoices for catering carry your TRN, the VAT amount and the customer's name. Customer groups help you track repeat corporate clients.
- Catering as its own order type
- Customer records for repeat clients
- TRN and VAT on every invoice
- One report for dine-in and catering
How does it work for a Mussafah canteen?
A canteen needs speed. The Counter plan gives one register, a short menu, a kitchen screen and fast cash or card payment. Fixed meals become products, and add-ons like extra bread or a drink are priced modifiers. At close, the register report shows cash and card totals for the day.
Canteen teams often read Urdu, Hindi or Malayalam more easily than English. Urdu screens are set up, and other languages can be added through editable translations.
If you serve monthly meal plans for workers, track those customers as a group and record payments against their accounts.
- Fast counter ordering
- Fixed meals and priced add-ons
- Urdu screens for the team
- Customer groups for meal plans
What do Abu Dhabi family restaurants need?
Family restaurants need large tables on the floor plan, split checks, Arabic and English menus, and bookings for weekends and occasions. Restaurant POS Studio covers all of these, with VAT-inclusive prices and bilingual tax invoices that show your TRN, so the bill is clear to every guest.
Weekends bring big family groups, and Ramadan brings full iftar seatings. The bookings calendar holds table, staff and time, and set menus can be fired by course.
A QR contactless menu in Arabic and English lets guests read the menu on their phones, using the same products and prices as the POS.
- Joined tables for large families
- Bookings for weekends and Ramadan
- Arabic and English QR menu
- Bilingual tax invoices

Abu Dhabi restaurant questions
Onboarding desk · usually replies within a business day
Can I issue a tax invoice to a company for a catering order?
Yes. The invoice shows your TRN, the VAT amount, the total and the customer's name. Save the company as a customer so future orders are faster. Ask your tax agent if the company needs any extra details on the invoice.
I run a restaurant in the city and a canteen in Mussafah. Can I use one account?
Yes. Each site is its own location with its own menu, registers and receipt layout. Central reports show both together or one at a time. Stock can be transferred between them.
Can my canteen staff use Urdu screens?
Yes. Urdu is set up with right-to-left screens, and language is chosen per user. The cashier and cook can read Urdu while the manager uses English or Arabic.
Can I take partial payment for a large catering order?
Yes. One invoice can be paid with several payments and methods, for example a deposit by bank transfer and the balance by card. The invoice shows what is paid and what is still due.
Does it work for a café on Yas or Saadiyat?
Yes. Size and milk variations, priced add-ons, reward points for regulars and quick card and Apple Pay checkout all work. Payments run through your acquiring bank.
Can guests see the menu in Arabic on their phones?
Yes. The QR contactless menu uses your products and their translations, so guests can read the menu in Arabic or English. Price changes at the POS show on the QR menu too.
