Point of sale software

POS software that sells offline and posts everything behind the counter.

One POS app with a retail edition and a restaurant edition. It keeps everything it needs on the device, so the counter works with no internet — and when the network returns, every sale syncs and posts itself: stock, cash, accounts, reports.

Offline POS software for the Gulf, part of one business platform

Flowyana POS is offline POS software for shops and restaurants across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. It runs on desktop tills (macOS and Windows), keeps selling with no internet, and sends every sale to your workspace when the connection returns. There, sales post to stock, cash and accounts, which you manage in any browser. It is a cloud POS that works offline, not a till that waits for the network.

Offline-first means the till never asks the network for permission. Scanning, prices, discounts, payments, receipts, kitchen tickets and the cash drawer all work from what is already on the device. What needs a connection is plain: price changes from the back office arrive the next time the till connects, and card or QR payment requests sent through a payment gateway need the internet to reach it.

The POS is one part of Flowyana, not the whole of it. The same workspace runs accounting, inventory, purchasing, sales, CRM and HR. A sale at the till is the same kind of record as an invoice raised in the office, so stock, cash and the books never have to be reconciled between two systems.

It is built for how the Gulf trades: prices that include VAT, currencies with three decimals, cash rounding for the Kuwaiti dinar and Omani rial, and staff who work in Arabic or English.

Two editions, one platform

A counter for shops. A floor for restaurants.

Retail and hospitality sell differently, so the POS respects the difference — while the records behind them stay identical.

Retail edition

Built for the barcode and the queue

Barcode-first selling: Scan to sell, with multiple barcodes per product and pack quantities — sell a piece, a strip, or a case from one item.
A grid built for speed: Dense item tiles, search that keeps up, and a tender flow measured in taps, not screens.
Cash you can account for: Counters and cash sessions with opening floats, cash in/out, and end-of-day counts that reconcile.
Returns without drama: Sales returns post back through stock and the books the same way sales post forward.

Restaurant edition

Built for the table and the kitchen

Floors, tables, and their live state: Set up floors and tables, and see each table’s state live.
Menus that know the time: Menus with sections and scheduling, channel pricing, and today’s prices for items that change daily.
Structured modifiers: No garlic, extra cheese, size large — as data, priced correctly, printed correctly in the kitchen.
Kitchen tickets by station: Orders route to grill, fryer, or bar as KOTs. Recipes consume ingredients at the station, and wastage is recorded, not shrugged at.

Offline-first, not offline-tolerant

The busiest hour never depends on the router.

Most cloud POS products degrade when the connection drops. Flowyana’s POS is built the other way around: local first, then sync.

Everything on the device

The full working set — catalog, menus, prices, modifiers, open bills — lives securely on the device. Selling reads nothing from the network.

Sales queue and sync

Every completed sale is stored safely on the device and synced to your workspace when a connection exists. Nothing is lost to a dropped signal.

Sessions that survive restarts

The device stays signed in and cashier unlock persists until an explicit sign-out — a power cut doesn’t log the till out of your business.

Same books as everything else

Synced sales post through exactly the same stock, cash, and accounting flow as the rest of the platform. Offline is a mode, not a separate truth.

Hardware & paper

Receipts, kitchen tickets, and the drawer.

The physical counter is part of the product — and the paper your customer holds is yours to design.

Receipt printing

Customer receipts with your logo, header, and layout — designed in the workspace, printed at the counter.

KOT routing

Kitchen order tickets print at the right station — grill, fryer, bar — with waiter, table, timing, and modifier lines.

Cash drawer & sessions

The drawer opens on tender; every note is tracked in the counter’s cash session from opening float to closing count.

Why tills let owners down

Six common POS problems, and how Flowyana avoids them.

The cloud POS stops when the router does.
The catalog, prices, menus and open bills live on the till itself. Selling carries on through an outage, and the sales go up to the workspace on their own when the line comes back.
The POS and the accounts are two different systems.
Every sale posts its own stock movement, cash session entry and balanced, VAT-split sales entry in the same workspace that runs your books. There is nothing to export or re-type.
Several cashiers share one till and nobody owns a mistake.
The till stays signed in and each cashier unlocks it with their own PIN. Roles set in the back office carry to the till, and discounts follow per-cashier limits with a reason.
Setting up a new till takes a day.
Pair the device to your workspace and it downloads its catalog, prices and settings once. From then on it works on its own, online or offline.
Three-decimal currencies and cash rounding break simple tills.
Each currency keeps its own decimals, so the Kuwaiti dinar, Bahraini dinar and Omani rial show three places, and a cash rounding step can be set for the workspace.
Prices change by branch and by day, and the tills fall behind.
Branch prices and daily prices are set once in the back office and sent to every till in that branch. Cashiers never key a price by hand.

How the POS works

The detail behind the counter.

How a cloud POS that works offline actually behaves

Everything the till needs to sell is kept on the device and stored encrypted. When a sale is completed, it is saved on the till first and then sent to your workspace in the background. If the connection is down for an hour or a day, completed sales wait safely and go up in order when it returns. Sessions survive restarts, so a power cut does not sign the till out of your business or lose the bill on screen.

Desktop tills and a back office in any browser

The POS app runs on desktop tills with macOS or Windows. You pair each till to your workspace once, and it is ready to sell for its branch. Everything else happens in the back office, which opens in any modern browser: the catalog, prices, menus, receipt design, staff roles, stock, purchasing and accounts. Owners and accountants see live figures from anywhere without touching the till.

Several tills in one restaurant, with no internet

A restaurant with a cashier, a bar and a team of waiters needs more than one device. One till hosts the service and the other tills, plus the waiter app, join it over the restaurant’s own network. Orders move between them, kitchen tickets reach their stations and the cashier settles the bill, all without the internet. Each branch has one host at a time, so two tills never run two versions of the same night.

Payments, cash sessions and rounding

A bill can be paid with several methods at once: part cash, part card. Card or QR payment requests can go through a connected payment gateway, such as Tap in the Gulf, when the till is online. Every counter runs a cash session with an opening float, cash in and out during the day, and a closing count against the expected total. Any over or short is posted to its own account, so a short drawer is visible in the books, not hidden in sales.

A POS system for the Gulf: VAT, Arabic and local currencies

Shelf and menu prices in the Gulf usually include VAT. Flowyana supports inclusive or exclusive pricing, prints the VAT on the receipt and posts it to the right account, so your VAT return report is already up to date. Kuwait and Qatar have no VAT as of October 2026, and the till works without it. Staff can use the till in Arabic or English. Flowyana does not submit e-invoices to ZATCA or the UAE FTA as of October 2026, and we say so up front.

Reports and control from the till

Because every sale lands in the same workspace, POS reporting needs no export. See POS sales by branch and cashier, staff performance, and discounts given by each cashier. Restaurants add hourly sales, menu mix, table turnover, covers and average check, and kitchen throughput on the dashboard. Each figure comes from the same records your accountant uses, so the till report and the profit and loss statement agree.

Questions

What operators ask about the POS.

What happens when the internet goes down mid-service?

Nothing, at the counter. The POS keeps everything it needs on the device, so orders, payments, receipts, kitchen tickets, and the cash drawer keep working. Sales queue locally and sync to your workspace when the connection returns.

Does it print receipts and kitchen orders?

Yes. The POS prints customer receipts and routes kitchen order tickets to station printers, and it can open a connected cash drawer. Receipt and KOT layouts are customizable — logo, header, waiter, and timing lines included.

Can cashiers share a device securely?

Yes. The device stays signed in to your workspace, and each cashier unlocks with their own PIN. Permissions from the web platform carry into the till, so staff can only do what their role allows.

Is the retail POS different from the restaurant POS?

Same app, two editions. A retail workspace gets the barcode-driven counter; a restaurant workspace gets floors, menus, and kitchen routing; a business that is both can run both. Either way, sales post into the same stock and accounting records.

What does a sale actually write into the system?

Four things, automatically: a stock movement for every line, an entry in the counter’s cash session, a balanced double-entry sales voucher with tax split out, and the live reports that read from those records. No exports, no re-typing.
