How to choose a restaurant POS in the UAE

Every restaurant is different, so the right POS depends on how you operate. Before comparing brands, it helps to be clear on what actually matters for your business. A few things are worth weighing carefully:

All-in-one scope vs POS-only. Some systems handle only billing and orders; others also cover HR, payroll, inventory, accounting and marketing. Fewer separate tools usually means fewer logins, fewer integrations and one bill — but only if you actually need those modules.
UAE VAT & FTA compliance. Your POS should apply 5% VAT correctly, print the TRN on receipts and produce FTA-ready reports. This is non-negotiable for operating legally in the UAE.
Arabic support. If you serve Arabic-speaking staff or customers, check that the interface, receipts and reports work properly in Arabic as well as English.
Local support. On-the-ground onboarding and support in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah matters when something breaks during service. Ask about response times and who you actually reach.
Multi-branch. If you run — or plan to run — more than one location, confirm the system handles multi-branch reporting and central management cleanly.
Price. Compare total cost, including add-ons and third-party integrations, not just the headline monthly fee. A cheaper POS can cost more once you bolt on the pieces it doesn't include.

Once you know which of these matter most to you, use the head-to-head comparisons below to see how each system measures up.
