Cloud restaurant POS and billing for Oman — 5% VAT invoices in rials with correct baisa precision, Arabic and English receipts, and QR ordering for everything from Muttrah cafés to Salalah resort dining.
| Shuwa Plate | OMR 4.500 |
| Omani Majboos | OMR 3.200 |
| Mashuai | OMR 5.000 |
| Kahwa & Halwa | OMR 1.300 |
| Subtotal | OMR 14.000 |
| VAT 5% | OMR 0.700 |
| Total | OMR 14.700 |
The things that actually differ market to market — tax, currency, language and how people pay — handled rather than worked around.
The rial runs to three decimals. Tax percentages are stored at unlimited decimal precision so bills do not drift by a few baisa each time.
Right-to-left layout through the dashboard, receipts, kitchen tickets and the guest-facing QR menu.
Itemised invoices with your VAT number, net, 5% VAT and gross, formatted for the rial.
Guests scan, read the menu in Arabic or English, order and pay without waiting for a server.
Run outlets in different governorates from one dashboard with per-branch pricing and group reporting.
Stock deducts as you sell, with low-stock alerts and recipe-level costing to keep waste down.
Every payment type lands in the same day-end report, so cash, card, gateway and delivery money reconcile together instead of in four places.
The Gulf gateway. Omani cards, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay, settled in OMR.
International cards, which matters for the Salalah khareef season and Muscat hotel dining.
Corporate catering and cross-border bookings.
Keep your existing terminal and record the payment type so the day-end cash-up still balances.
What MealNix does, stated plainly.
One system that adapts to how your outlet actually runs.
Shuwa, majboos and mashuai service with family sections, parcel counters and KOT routing to the grill.
Fast counter billing, modifier-heavy drink menus and loyalty for the Muttrah and Qurum café trade.
Salalah swings hard between khareef peak and the quiet months. The free Starter plan has no minimum usage, so seasonal outlets are not paying through the off-season.
Token numbers, quick-pick menus and parcel billing for neighbourhood outlets in Seeb and Sohar.
Several outlets under one property with consolidated end-of-day reporting.
Advance bookings with part payments and ingredient planning against confirmed covers.
MealNix is cloud software with remote onboarding, so there is no install visit to wait for — wherever you are in Oman, you can be billing today.
Bill from a phone on the floor, a tablet at the table or a full terminal at the counter.
Arabic ships with full right-to-left layout across the dashboard, menus, receipts and kitchen tickets.
Where a POS built for somewhere else tends to fall down.

| Local payment rails | Tap Payments, Stripe | International cards only, if that |
| QR menu & table ordering | Included on paid plans | Usually a paid add-on |
| Runs on a phone or tablet | Yes — Android, iOS and web | Often needs proprietary hardware |

Remote onboarding, so there is no waiting for an engineer to be in your city.

Straight answers, including the ones that are not a simple yes.
MealNix is a cloud restaurant POS that runs in Oman: it calculates 5% VAT, issues itemised invoices in Omani rials with correct three-decimal baisa precision, prints receipts and kitchen tickets in Arabic or English, and handles QR ordering, kitchen displays, inventory and multi-branch reporting from Muscat to Salalah.
Yes, and this matters more than it sounds. The rial divides into 1000 baisa, so two-decimal software rounds badly on every line. MealNix stores tax percentages at unlimited decimal precision and formats OMR to three decimals, so your bills and your VAT summary agree instead of drifting a few baisa per transaction.
Yes. Set the 5% rate once and it applies to every order, with per-item overrides where a different treatment applies. Invoices carry your VAT number with net, VAT and gross in OMR, you can choose tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive menu pricing per outlet, and you can pull a VAT summary for any date range.
Yes. Arabic is a full interface language with right-to-left layout, and it carries through to printed receipts, kitchen tickets and the customer-facing QR menu, so Arabic-speaking and English-speaking staff can share a terminal.
Yes. Salalah swings between the khareef peak and much quieter months. The free Starter plan has no minimum usage and no time limit, so a seasonal restaurant can keep billing on the free tier through the off-season and upgrade only when it needs payment gateways, QR ordering or extra branches.
Tap Payments is the natural Gulf fit, covering Omani cards, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay with settlement in OMR. Stripe and PayPal are also supported for international cards and corporate catering. You can equally keep your existing card terminal and just record the payment type in MealNix so the day-end still balances.
Yes. Paid plans come with a 30-day free trial, and the free Starter plan has no time limit, no per-user fee and no setup fee.
