POS for sweets and chocolate shops, built for the seasons

CashHub for sweets shops at a glance

• Each box size has its own stock and price, and the unit price drops as the quantity grows.
• A company order gets a standard tax invoice with its VAT number, name and address.

• 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 POS for sweets and chocolate shops: the season is the test

A sweets shop has a quiet week, then the last ten days of Ramadan arrive and the line goes out into the street. One box holds three items at different weights, and a company wants fifty boxes on an invoice in its name. So the right POS has to cover all of this without holding up the line.

• Sale by weight for dates, chocolate and sweets sold by the kilo.
• Box sizes as variants, each with its own stock.
• A lower price per piece as the quantity goes up.
• A tax invoice for companies, with the buyer's VAT number.
• Split payment across cash, card and wallet on one invoice.

The last night before Eid at the counter

It's 10 PM and nobody in the shop can move. The cashier weighs half a kilo of assorted chocolate, scans the scale label in one scan, and adds two large boxes under the Eid offer you set.

The customer pays part by card and the rest in cash, and the cashier moves on to the next person. If the connection drops under the mall's load, the cashier carries on: invoices are signed and saved on the device and sync later.

And in the middle of the rush, a big discount from the cashier doesn't go through without the manager's PIN, and every discount is logged under the name of whoever gave it.

Sweets, dates and chocolate by the kilo

You mark an item as sold by weight in the dashboard, and the price is worked out from the weight on the scale. 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. If the weight has no label, you enter it by hand. That matters in a shop where one customer is weighing Sukkari dates and filled chocolates in the same minute.

Gift boxes in their sizes

A gift box comes small, medium and large, in different wrapping colors. You define each size and color as a variant of the same item, and each variant has its own barcode, stock and price. So you know you have thirty of the large gold box and only five of the medium silver one.

After the season you open the variants report and see which size and color sold most, and prepare for next Ramadan.

A lower price as the quantity grows

Hospitality sweets are bought by the dozen. From a quantity you set, such as 12 pieces, the price per piece drops. You set the tier once and the register applies it when the quantity is reached, so nobody works it out or negotiates with the customer while the line waits.

Company orders: a tax invoice in the company's name

In Ramadan and at Eid, companies ask for boxes for their staff and clients. A simplified invoice isn't enough for them. They want a tax invoice with their VAT number, name and address. CashHub issues the standard tax invoice with the buyer's details, in the e-invoice format, and connecting to the Fatoora platform is done with you during setup. If boxes are returned, a credit note is issued with the VAT computed correctly.

Recipes and expiry

Kunafa, baklava and fresh sweets are made from raw ingredients. Linking a recipe to stock deducts the ingredients with each sale, and you see the item's cost and margin, so you know whether the Eid box really earns money now that pistachios cost more.

Chocolate, cream and date boxes carry a date. You receive them with a lot number and an expiry date from the dashboard, and when you sell, the nearest expiry goes first.

Inventory management

Before the season: stock the shop from the warehouse

Weeks before Ramadan you prepare the shop's goods from the warehouse. Each item has its own balance in each location, and a transfer between the warehouse and the shop is a document with three outcomes: it is created, received or cancelled. And the top-selling and sales-by-hour reports tell you what runs out first and when you need a second cashier.

How to start and what it costs

A season means more invoices, so the cap matters: 5 halalas per invoice 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.

1. Reserve a founding seat. It's free, with no commitment.
2. We move your items, variants and prices from your current system for free.
3. We set up your device, printer and scale, and you start selling the same day.
