A Daftra (دفترة) alternative for restaurants: RAWA
Daftra is a general business system; if you run a restaurant and need an offline POS, a kitchen display, tables and recipes, and a QR menu — RAWA is built only for restaurants, 100% Arabic, with JoFotara on both plans.
Daftra (دفترة) is a cloud business-management, accounting and invoicing system for small and medium businesses in the Arab region.

Why RAWA
The POS keeps the order on the device, prints the receipt and sends it to the kitchen, then syncs automatically when the connection returns — the queue never stops at rush hour.
Every screen, label and report is Arabic, RTL is native, and support is in Arabic over WhatsApp — not a translation layer over a foreign UI.
POS + kitchen display + QR menu + inventory & recipes + accounting + branches, on one account with one support number — a sale deducts stock and posts to accounting instantly.
Compliant with e-invoicing requirements and integrated with JoFotara — on Basic as well as Integrated, not Integrated only.

When is RAWA better than Daftra for a restaurant?
When you want a system ready for restaurants from day one: POS, kitchen, tables, recipes and inventory, QR menu, and restaurant accounting — instead of customising a general business system.
When is a general business system still a better fit?
If you have large activities outside restaurants (services, contracting, wholesale) that you want to manage in one place.
Does it work offline?
Yes, the POS finishes offline and syncs later.
JoFotara and accounting?
JoFotara on both plans; and built-in restaurant accounting posts every sale and movement automatically.
