POS Systems in Dubai and Abu Dhabi: Hardware, Software and Set-Up for Restaurants, Retail and Salons

Yes, on a project basis. Quicknet has no branch office in Dubai: Dubai restaurant POS projects, including table management, KOT printing and online-ordering integration, are scoped, quoted and delivered by our Abu Dhabi-based team. Ask us to show your own menu working before you decide, and see the POS price guide for what a quote should list.

Yes — the POS software we set up can issue tax invoices with TRN and VAT breakdown, supports VAT 5% / zero / exempt categories, and exports sales reports to support your VAT return, which you file on the FTA portal.

Yes — integration with delivery platforms such as Talabat is available on selected POS software; we confirm which at scoping.

Offline capability varies by product and licence, and we confirm it for your chosen software. Some systems keep selling offline and sync when the connection returns, while cloud-only systems need an internet connection.

We integrate your POS with UAE payment processors such as Network International, Magnati, Telr and Mashreq Pay, supporting chip, contactless, Apple/Samsung Pay and QR payments; the card terminal itself is arranged with your acquirer.

Yes. Multi-outlet POS systems (LS Retail, Loyverse, Tally) provide central inventory, automatic re-order alerts, inter-branch stock transfer and consolidated reporting across all locations.

Yes — every install includes on-site staff training, video documentation, and support in working hours (Mon-Sat 08:00-22:00 at Mussafah HQ and the Abu Dhabi office; Al Ain Mon-Sat 09:00-23:00, Sun 17:00-23:00). An emergency hotline is available to AMC clients, and response terms are written in the AMC contract. Annual Maintenance Contracts cover hardware replacement, software updates and remote troubleshooting.

Yes, we supply POS systems in Dubai on a project basis. Quicknet has no branch office in Dubai: Dubai retail and restaurant POS projects, including point of sale software, hardware and set-up, are scoped, quoted and delivered by our Abu Dhabi-based team. See the POS price guide and the POS e-invoicing guide, which apply across the UAE.

A POS machine usually means the till: a touchscreen terminal, receipt printer, cash drawer and barcode scanner running POS software. Quicknet supplies and sets up the till and the software in Dubai on a project basis from its Abu Dhabi team; it has no Dubai office. The bank card machine is a different device, arranged with your acquirer (your bank or payment company), and the POS is connected to it.

It depends on the business type, the number of tills and whether stock and accounts need to sit in one system. Quicknet supplies QuickERP POS, which shares one database with QuickERP accounting and inventory, and Rigid BOS POS for restaurants, retail and spa; a small shop or coffee shop can also start with a basic touch-screen till. Quicknet has no office in Dubai: Dubai projects are scoped, quoted and delivered on a project basis from our Abu Dhabi team. The published price bands are in the POS price guide; which product fits is confirmed at the demo.

No. The tax invoice and UAE e-invoicing rules are federal, so they apply in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Dubai alike. A VAT-registered business must issue tax invoices that show the TRN and 5% VAT where applicable; e-invoicing dates depend on annual revenue, and sales to consumers are outside the system for now. See the POS e-invoicing guide, which applies across the UAE.

Yes, most POS systems track stock: items sold reduce the count, and you can receive stock, count it and see low-stock reports. A single shop or restaurant usually manages this inside the POS. Separate inventory or warehouse software is worth considering when you have several warehouses, purchase orders and batches, or need it linked to accounts. We explain which setup fits your business before quoting.

Most tills use an 80 mm thermal receipt printer, because it prints more detail, such as the TRN, the VAT breakdown and item lines, and is easy to read. A 58 mm printer suits small counters and mobile POS. USB is simple for a single till, LAN suits kitchen printers and shared printers, and Bluetooth suits tablets and handhelds. Thermal printers need no ink, and the printer must be supported by your POS software, which we confirm before quoting.

A POS cash drawer normally connects to the receipt printer by a cable and opens automatically when a cash sale is completed, so it needs no separate power. Drawers differ by the number of note and coin compartments and by build strength, and a busy shop should choose a heavy-duty steel drawer. We check that the drawer, printer and POS software work together before go-live.

A POS terminal is the till itself: a touchscreen computer that runs the POS software, usually with a receipt printer, cash drawer and barcode scanner, and often a customer display and a card machine. Some are all-in-one units and some are a tablet or computer on a stand. We choose the terminal for the counter space, the number of daily sales and the software you use, and we test every connected device at installation.

A small shop or kiosk usually needs one till, a receipt printer, a barcode scanner and a cash drawer, with software that handles stock and VAT receipts. A tablet or compact all-in-one terminal saves counter space, and a cloud system lets the owner see sales from a phone. Choose a setup you can expand later, because adding a second till or a kitchen printer is easier on a system built for it. We recommend the setup at the site survey.

Point of sale software, also called a POS program, is the application that records sales, stock and reports. A point of sale machine, or POS machine, is the hardware the software runs on, usually a touchscreen computer with a receipt printer and cash drawer. A POS terminal is the same till as seen at the counter. A card payment machine, often called a swipe machine, is different: it is the small device from your bank or payment company that takes card payments, and it is arranged separately. We supply and set up the POS software and hardware, and confirm how it works with your card terminal before quoting.
