CashHub for bakeries at a glance
CashHub is a cashier system for bakeries that sells by the piece and by weight and reads scale labels.
- Items sell by the piece and by weight on the same invoice, and the scale label reads in one scan.
- Recipes are linked to stock, and you see each item's cost and margin.
- Selling carries on when the internet drops, and the device signs each invoice and adds its QR code itself.
- Runs on Android, iPhone and iPad (apps on Google Play and the App Store), with the back-office dashboard in the browser.
- Price: 5 halalas per invoice including VAT, capped at SAR 149 a month per branch, first 30 days free, no contract and no setup fee.
A bakery POS system: what it has to do
A bakery sells two ways in the same minute: bread and croissants by the piece, cookies, pastries and biscuits by weight. Behind every sale, raw ingredients run down: flour, butter, cheese. So the right POS speeds up the counter, works out weight without a calculator, and ties each sale to the ingredients.
- Sell by the piece and by weight on the same invoice.
- Read a scale label with one scan.
- Recipes linked to stock, with each item's cost in front of you.
- Breakfast combos that you build yourself.
- Keep selling with no internet, with the invoice signed and its QR code added on the device.
A Friday dawn at your bakery
It's 5:45 AM. The first batch is out of the oven and the line of workers and neighbors has started. The cashier scans bread by the piece, puts a tray of cookies on the scale, and the scale label reads in one scan with the price already there.
The breakfast offer you built, bread, cheese and tea, applies itself with nobody doing math. One customer pays by card, and a neighbor pays half in cash and half by wallet on the same invoice.
At 6:30 AM the connection gets weak in the neighborhood. The cashier carries on, invoices are signed and saved on the device, and they sync when the connection returns, without loss or duplicates.
At 2 PM the morning shift closes. The cashier counts the drawer blind, meaning without seeing the expected figure, and the difference shows in the shift report. And you check what sold from your phone.
Weight and scale labels
Cookies, pastries, biscuits and stuffed dates sell by the kilo. You mark an item as sold by weight in the dashboard, and its price is worked out from the weight. If your scale prints an EAN-13 barcode label starting with 20 to 29, the cashier scans it and the price or weight is read from the label. With no label, you enter the weight by hand.
Recipes: what an item really costs
You link each item's recipe to stock: the dough takes flour, yeast, butter and sugar. With every sale its ingredients come off stock, and if the sale is voided they go back.
You also see each item's cost and margin. That's where you find that the cheese croissant earns less than you thought now that cheese costs more, and that plain bread is among your most profitable items. When goods arrive from the supplier you enter the unit cost.
Expiry: nearest date goes first
Next to the bread, a bakery sells yogurt drinks, juice, packaged cheese and ready sweets, and all of them carry a date. In the dashboard you receive an item with a lot number and an expiry date, and when you sell, stock goes out from the lot that expires first (FEFO). This is set up in the dashboard, not on the cashier screen.
Breakfast offers and combos
Bread with cheese and tea at one price, or a dozen pastries on a Friday offer. You build the offer in the dashboard, set its items and price, and the cashier applies it in a tap, so nobody works out a discount by hand or argues the price with a customer. For a regular customer such as a nearby restaurant or school, you can give a fixed discount under their name.
The drawer, the shift and more than one branch
- Open and close shifts with a report and the cash difference, plus a blind count at close.
- The drawer opens only with a sale or a refund.
- Discounts, voids and refunds are permission-based, and staff without the permission need the manager's PIN.
- Day close with a Z report, and the day won't close with an unsynced device except with the owner's permission.
- With a second branch, one dashboard brings the sales of every branch together.
An e-invoice for every sale
Every sale produces a simplified tax invoice in the e-invoice format, and the device signs it and adds the QR code itself, even offline. The system is built on the Phase 2 requirements, and connecting to the Fatoora platform is done with you during setup. Invoices are chained and can't be deleted, and returns go through credit notes.
How CashHub handles e-invoicing
How to start and what it costs
A bakery issues dozens of small invoices before noon. Each invoice costs 5 halalas from a balance you top up (minimum SAR 50), capped at SAR 149 a month per branch including VAT, after which the rest of the month is free. No contract and no setup fee.
- Reserve a founding seat. It's free, with no commitment.
- We move your items and prices from your current system for free.
- We set up your device, printer and scale, and you start selling the same day.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell by the piece and by weight on the same invoice?
Yes. Items sold by the piece scan as usual, and items sold by weight get their price from the weight, read from a scale label or entered by hand.
Does it deduct ingredients from stock with every sale?
Yes, once you link the item to a recipe. Each sale deducts its recipe's ingredients, a void puts them back, and you see the item's cost and margin.
Does it plan my daily production quantity?
No, there's no production planning module. What you get is sales reports by hour and by item, and you decide how much to bake from them.
What happens if the internet drops at the rush?
Sales carry on. The invoice is signed and saved on the device, and reaches your account as soon as the connection returns.
Does it work for a bakery with several branches?
Yes. Each branch has its own device and shifts, and one dashboard shows every branch. You can also transfer stock from one branch to another.
How much does a bakery POS cost?
There's no contract and no setup fee. Each invoice costs 5 halalas from your balance, capped at SAR 149 a month per branch including VAT, after which the rest of the month is free. Your first 30 days from sign-up are free, and the first 500 restaurants, cafés, bakeries and sweet shops get a SAR 99 cap per branch for a year.
