Restaurant POS software for the UAE: tables, KOT, QR menu and VAT bills

From the table to the kitchen to the bill — one app. MC-POS Cloud runs dine-in, takeaway and delivery for UAE restaurants and cafés, with 5% VAT bills in Arabic and English.

Quick answer

The MC-POS restaurant POS gives UAE restaurants tables and floors, KOT printing to each kitchen or bar, QR menu ordering from the table, order-taking on the waiter's phone, split payments, service charge and tips. Bills carry 5% VAT and your TRN, in Arabic and English. Menu items use up stock, every bill posts to your accounts, and the till keeps working offline.

Restaurant bills to diners are out of scope of UAE e-invoicing; catering and company invoices to VAT-registered buyers can go to your ASP from 2027. It is all in the Restaurant Full Suite plan.

What a UAE restaurant needs from a POS — and how MC-POS does it

Tables and floors

See which tables are free, running or billed, floor by floor. Add more rounds to the same table any time.

KOT to each kitchen

Each order prints at the right kitchen or bar, with only the items that station makes and any note for the cook.

QR menu ordering

Guests scan the table QR, see the menu and order. The order reaches the POS with a sound alert.

Orders on the waiter's phone

Waiters take the order at the table on their own phone and send it straight to the kitchen.

Split payment, service charge, tips

Take part cash and part card, add a service charge, and credit tips to the waiter.

Takeaway and delivery

Fast takeaway billing, and commission-free online ordering from your own link.

VAT bills in Arabic and English

5% VAT and your TRN on every bill, with menu prices set with or without VAT included.

Keeps going offline

Billing and KOT printing keep working with no internet, and everything syncs when it is back.

One business, every device: the counter, the owner's phone and the back-office computer share the same data — Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS and the web. See all MC-POS Cloud features.

VAT and e-invoicing for UAE restaurants

  • A bill to a diner is a simplified tax invoice with 5% VAT. It is out of scope of UAE e-invoicing for now, so you print it as usual.
  • A catering or company order to a VAT-registered buyer needs a full tax invoice with both TRNs — and from 2027 it must go through your Accredited Service Provider. MC-POS sends it for you.
  • Menu prices: set them with VAT included or added on top — the bill shows the VAT either way.

Dates and penalties are in our UAE e-invoicing guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is MC-POS good for a small café or restaurant in Dubai?

Yes. It runs on a phone, tablet or computer you already have, bills offline, and adds tables, KOT printing and QR ordering on the Restaurant plan.

Do restaurant bills need e-invoicing in the UAE?

Not for now. Bills to diners are B2C sales, which are out of scope of UAE e-invoicing. Catering or company invoices to VAT-registered buyers must go through an Accredited Service Provider from 2027, and MC-POS sends them for you.

Can orders print in the kitchen automatically?

Yes. Each order prints as a KOT at the right kitchen or bar, with only the items that station makes.

Can guests order from the table with a QR code?

Yes. Guests scan the table QR, see your menu and order. The order reaches the POS with a sound alert.

Does the restaurant POS work offline?

Yes. Billing and KOT printing keep working without internet, and everything syncs when the connection returns.

Can I run branches in different emirates?

Yes. Each branch has its own tables, kitchens, tills and stock, and you see reports for one branch or all of them.
