## When does an ordinary till stop fitting your restaurant?

Three of these signs are enough to move

- **Orders spread over stages:** The transaction does not close at the first item: guests sit, order, then add more. The bill hangs through all of it.
- **The kitchen wants its own slip:** The guest slip carries sums and codes. The kitchen wants items, quantities and a destination in letters readable from a distance.
- **Occupancy is a daily question:** Which table frees up shortly? Who has passed their stay limit? No transaction log answers either.
- **Guests keep moving:** A party changed tables, and two tables became one. Without transfer and combine, the bill splits or repeats.
- **You measure service, not transactions:** How many tables each employee ran, how many guests they received, how long they stayed. Service indicators no transaction log holds.

## Retail till or table service till?

The difference is that the transaction hangs until settlement

| Axis | Retail till | Table service till |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The transaction | Opened and closed in the same instant | A held bill on the table growing over stages |
| The balance | Drops the moment the transaction completes | Drops at settlement, since a held bill is not yet a transaction |
| The paper | One slip for the guest | A guest slip and a kitchen slip with no sums |
| Capacity | A queue in front of the till | Rooms, tables, and a stay limit on each |
| The employee | A till operator carrying out the sale | A service employee running tables, measured by them |
| Appointments | Rarely required | A day book of appointments, latecomers at its head |

One till drives both modes: a store sells and closes, a restaurant holds the bill until settlement. No second licence and no second app.

## Common questions about the point of sale

### Are POS invoices valid for official use?

Yes. Snad POS issues invoices with sequential numbering, XML, a digital signature and a QR code — directly from the cashier without extra steps.

### Can I manage multiple branches from a single POS?

Yes, Snad supports unlimited branches with a central dashboard: per-branch sales tracking, independent inventory, and unified reports across all branches.

### Does Snad POS work on mobile and tablet?

Yes, Snad POS works on Android, iPad, and the browser. It can run on dedicated cashier devices or any available smart device.

### How does POS sync with inventory and accounting?

Every sale instantly updates inventory and creates an automatic accounting entry. No manual entry or end-of-day reconciliation — everything happens in real time.

### Which plan includes POS?

POS — like every other Snad app — is available in every plan. Tiers differ only by user count, app cap: Starter (free, 1 user, 3 apps), Basic ($39/mo, 3 users, 5 apps), Pro ($99/mo, 5 users, all apps). On both paid plans you can add extra users at $5 per user per month. Try free for 7 days — no credit card.

### Does the register need an internet connection?

Yes. Snad is fully cloud-based, so point of sale needs a connection to issue and print the invoice and post it to stock and the books in real time. We recommend a backup connection (mobile data or a 5G SIM) so selling does not stop.

### What is a cashier session, and how do I close a shift?

Every shift runs as a session that a cashier opens under their own name and closes at the end of the day. The session records opening and closing times, the number of transactions, the amounts taken, and each seller's performance. At close you compare the cash you actually hold against what the system recorded, then hand over with a clear record. Every session stays in the session log.

### Do I need special POS hardware?

No. Snad runs in the browser on any connected laptop or tablet, and supports thermal receipt printers plus barcode and QR scanners for finding items and closing a sale. You can start with the hardware you already own, and run more than one register in the same branch within the user count your plan allows.

### Which warehouse does a sale deduct from?

The warehouse of the branch where the sale happened. Snad supports multiple warehouses with independent balances, so a sale comes off that branch's own stock the moment it completes, while consolidated reporting for all branches stays in one dashboard. You can also transfer goods between warehouses digitally and set a reorder-point alert per item per warehouse.

### How do I handle a return on a sale made at the register?

You record it as a sales return against the original invoice. Snad issues a credit note to the customer, puts the quantity back into that branch's stock, and reverses the accounting effect of the sale automatically.

### Does the app work for restaurants and coffee shops?

Yes. Draw your hall plan, open a bill on each table that grows in batches, and send the ordered items to the kitchen printer alone.

### How does the tables screen work?

Each table carries its colour, its status and how long its guests have sat. Move or merge the order, and payment closes it and clears the table.

### Does printing reach the kitchen directly?

Yes. The document reaches the thermal printer with no print dialog, and you set each printer's document type and copy count.

### Can I record table reservations?

Yes. Record the name, mobile, party size and time, review the day book, and turn a booking into an order when the guests arrive.

### When does an open order become a sale?

On payment alone. Before that there is no entry and no stock movement, so sales reports show what was actually collected.

## What Snad does for a business outside Saudi Arabia

- **Tax rate:** configurable. You set the rate that applies to your invoices; it then applies to subsequent invoices and is shown separately from net sales in reports. Snad applies the configured rate and does not determine which rate is correct for a given business.
- **Invoicing currency:** you choose the currency your customers are invoiced in. It is independent of the currency you are billed in for the subscription (USD outside Saudi Arabia).
- **Government e-invoicing portals:** direct integration is available inside Saudi Arabia only. Elsewhere Snad issues invoices with sequential numbering and a QR code, keeps the archive and exports in standard formats, with no direct link to a national portal.
- **Interface:** Arabic and English, per user, in the same account.
