# Cafe POS and Accounting Software > POS and accounting for cafes and coffee shops: fast ordering with sizes and add-ons, recipe ingredients deducted from stock, and e-invoices with a QR code. - **URL:** https://www.snad.io/global/en/solutions/cafes - **Pricing:** https://www.snad.io/global/en/pricing ## What a cafe needs from the platform Not a feature list — the five things that decide whether the morning peak runs or jams - **A fast ordering screen:** Best sellers up front and an order completed in a handful of taps. At the morning peak the operator's time is the real constraint, not anything else. - **Sizes and add-ons inside one item:** Small, medium and large; regular or lactose-free milk; an extra shot — variants inside one item rather than separate items that wreck your reports. - **Recipe ingredients drawn from stock:** Every cup deducts its beans, milk, cup and lid from the branch's stock, so you know the true cost per cup and when the beans run out before they do. - **One balance per branch, one report for the group:** A second branch does not mean a second system: each holds its own stock and currency, and the group reads together. - **The team in the same platform:** Baristas and cashiers with their own logins and permissions, and their shifts and pay in the HR app on the same database. - **Seating enabled per location:** Most orders leave the front register. Where a venue keeps lounge seating, enable its floor map there alone and leave every other location untouched. ## A day in the cafe From the first order to the shift close — in one platform with no double entry - **Opening the shift:** The cashier opens the shift with a recorded opening cash balance, so any difference at close has a known source rather than being a mystery. - **Order and payment:** Pick the item, its size and its add-ons, then take cash or card. The invoice is issued in the branch's currency at its configured tax rate at that same moment. - **Recipe deduction:** Every sale deducts the recipe ingredients from that branch's stock, so you know the true cost per cup without an end-of-day count. - **Reorder alerts:** When coffee or milk reaches its threshold you get an alert, so you buy before you run out rather than after a barista has apologised to a customer. - **Shift close and the entry:** The shift report compares expected against counted and creates the accounting entry, so revenue and cost reach your books with no figures carried by hand. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does it handle sizes and add-ons without breaking my reports? Yes. Sizes and add-ons are variants inside one item, each carrying its own price and its own cost, so the item report stays readable instead of splintering into dozens of near-duplicate entries. ### Does the system work out the cost per cup? Yes, from the recipe: every sale deducts its ingredients at their current average cost, so margin per cup is read rather than estimated — and it updates on its own when a supplier price changes. ### Can I run more than one branch on one account? Yes. Each branch keeps an independent stock balance, its own currency and its own configured tax rate, and transfers between branches are recorded at cost. The group reads in a single report. ### Does it work with the hardware I already have? It runs in the browser on any device, and prints to a standard receipt printer. There is nothing to install on the till machine. ### What happens if the internet drops during the peak? Snad is cloud based, so transactions are saved on the server rather than on the device. When the connection returns your data is as you left it. ### Is a floor map required for a coffee bar? No. A venue serving from the register needs none. Enable the map only where guests linger, then measure how long each visit lasts. ## 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. --- ## About the publisher **Snad (سند)** — Sole proprietorship, founded 2025.
