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 every plan, not only the top one.
