The things that actually differ market to market — tax, currency, language and how people pay — handled rather than worked around.
Right-to-left layout through the dashboard, the printed receipt, the kitchen ticket and the guest-facing QR menu — not a bolted-on translation.
Itemised invoices showing your VAT number, net, 15% VAT and gross, with riyal formatting and decimal placement set correctly.
Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam outlets on one dashboard, with per-branch pricing and group-level reporting.
Guests scan, read the menu in Arabic or English, order and pay without flagging down a server.
Delivery from HungerStation, Jahez, Talabat and Mrsool can be logged next to dine-in so one report covers the whole trading day.
Live stock deduction, low-stock alerts and recipe costing so iftar volume does not quietly clear out the store.
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, with mada — the Saudi national card scheme — alongside Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay, settled in SAR.
International card acceptance for hotel restaurants and the pilgrimage trade in Mecca and Medina.
Useful for corporate catering and cross-border bookings.
Keep your existing mada terminal and record the payment type in MealNix so the day-end cash-up still reconciles.
What MealNix does, stated plainly.
One system that adapts to how your outlet actually runs.
High-volume rice-and-meat service with family sections, parcel counters and fast KOT routing to the grill and the rice station.
Riyadh and Jeddah run a serious third-wave coffee scene. Modifier-heavy drink menus, loyalty and counter-speed billing.
Several virtual brands from one kitchen, each with its own menu, pricing and reporting, sharing one inventory and one staff roster.
Token numbers, quick-pick menus and order-ready displays that keep the drive-through and the counter queue moving.
Multiple outlets under one property with consolidated reporting, sized for the Mecca and Medina hospitality season.
Advance bookings with part payments, bulk orders 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 Saudi Arabia, 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 |
| Free plan | Free Starter plan, no time limit | Rarely offered |
Remote onboarding, so there is no waiting for an engineer to be in your city.

Import your existing menu rather than retyping it, then set modifiers, kitchen routing and pricing.
Link Tap Payments or another supported gateway, or keep your existing terminal and record payment types.
Train your staff on the terminal, phone or tablet you already have, and start billing. Support is available while you settle in.
Straight answers, including the ones that are not a simple yes.
MealNix is a cloud restaurant POS that runs in Saudi Arabia: it calculates 15% VAT, issues itemised invoices in SAR carrying your VAT number, prints receipts and kitchen tickets in Arabic with proper right-to-left layout, and handles QR table ordering, kitchen displays, inventory and multi-branch reporting across Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Note that ZATCA e-invoicing submission is not included — see the question below.
No. MealNix does not currently integrate with ZATCA or the Fatoora platform, and it does not perform the cryptographic stamping or invoice clearance that ZATCA Phase 2 requires. What MealNix does is the billing itself: the 15% VAT calculation, the itemised invoice, the payment and the reporting. Saudi outlets that fall under the Phase 2 mandate need a certified e-invoicing solution alongside MealNix. We would rather tell you this before you buy than after.
Yes. Set the 15% rate once and it applies across every order, with per-item overrides where a different treatment applies. Invoices show your VAT number with net, VAT and gross in SAR, 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 that carries through to printed receipts, kitchen tickets and the customer-facing QR menu. Arabic-speaking and English-speaking staff can each use the same terminal in their own language.
Yes, through Tap Payments, which covers mada — the Saudi national card scheme — alongside Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay, with settlement in SAR. Stripe and PayPal are also supported for international cards. If you prefer to keep your existing mada terminal, record the payment type in MealNix so the day-end cash-up still reconciles.
Yes. Manage every outlet from one dashboard with centralised menus, per-branch pricing and branch-level settings, while each location keeps its own POS terminals, kitchens and staff logins. Group reporting rolls all cities together and branch reporting drills into one.
Yes. Paid plans come with a 30-day free trial, and there is a free Starter plan with no time limit, no per-user fee and no setup fee. You can import your existing menu instead of retyping it.
