How GetCafePOS works in the UAE
- Tax
- UAE VAT is 5%. Menu prices are shown VAT-inclusive, as consumers expect, and receipts show the VAT amount and your TRN (tax registration number). Tax groups let you set zero-rated or exempt items if you sell any.
- Currency & formats
- UAE dirham (AED), two decimals on receipts; day/month/year dates.
- Payments
- Cards and Apple Pay or Google Pay through your bank’s or processor’s terminal; cash; custom tenders for delivery-app settlements so reports reconcile.
- Languages
- Arabic and English are standard on receipts; Urdu, Hindi, Tagalog and Malayalam are common among counter staff — the register can run per user in the language they read best.
- How to reach us
- WhatsApp is the main sales and support channel, then phone. We answer on WhatsApp during UAE desk hours.
- Trading week
- Working week Monday–Friday since 2022, with Friday-afternoon prayer timing; weekends (Saturday–Sunday) and evenings are peak for cafes. Ramadan shifts trade to after iftar — store hours can change for the month.
- Receipts
- Bilingual Arabic/English receipts with VAT shown and your TRN, right-to-left Arabic printed correctly.
What’s different about selling coffee here
- Dubai’s specialty scene (Al Quoz, JLT, Jumeirah, Business Bay) is crowded — speed at the counter and your own order-ahead link matter.
- Marketplace delivery apps charge commissions; a direct pickup store keeps margin.
- Foodics and other regional POS start around AED 750 per terminal per month on published third-party figures.
