ERP & POS for Restaurants, Cafés & Food Service in Oman
From the table to the store room: fast POS, recipe-level food cost and stock that matches what was actually cooked and sold.
Restaurant ERP for Oman connects table and takeaway POS, kitchen display, recipes and food costing, purchasing, central-kitchen production and multi-outlet stock with accounting. FizMoh implements it on Odoo Restaurant POS, ERPNext or a custom system with Oman VAT receipts and Arabic and English menus.
Overview: ERP for Restaurants, Cafés & Food Service
Food businesses run on thin margins and perishable stock. A busy outlet can look profitable while over-portioning, wastage and unrecorded staff meals quietly eat the margin.
A food-service ERP costs every dish from its recipe, deducts ingredients as items are sold and highlights variance between theoretical and actual usage, so owners see where money is really going.
Common challenges we solve
The problems we hear most from restaurants, cafés & food service teams.
Food cost is unknown per dish
Menu prices are set without an up-to-date recipe cost, so best sellers may barely earn a margin.
Wastage and theft
Without theoretical versus actual usage, over-portioning and missing stock go unnoticed.
Several outlets, one kitchen
Central-kitchen production and transfers to branches are tracked on paper or chat.
Delivery orders are re-keyed
Orders from delivery apps and WhatsApp are typed into the till, causing errors.
Slow table service
Orders written by hand or shouted to the kitchen are lost, delayed or wrong.
Modules we configure
Standard modules tuned for restaurants, cafés & food service. Custom modules are added where your process needs them.
Restaurant POS
Floor plan, table orders, split bills, tips, modifiers and receipts, with takeaway and delivery modes.
Kitchen display & routing
Orders routed to kitchen and bar screens with preparation status.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers from our Muscat team. Still unsure? Ask us directly.
Ask on WhatsAppCan the POS work on tablets?
Yes. The POS runs in the browser on tablets, all-in-one terminals and phones, with receipt and kitchen printers connected on the local network.
Does it calculate food cost automatically?
Yes. Once recipes and ingredient prices are set, every sale deducts ingredients and shows theoretical food cost per dish and per period.
Can we run several branches from one central kitchen?
Yes. Central-kitchen production, internal orders and transfers to each branch are tracked with stock in every location.
Can it receive delivery-app orders?
Where a platform provides an integration or API, orders can flow into the POS; otherwise we set up a simple assisted-entry workflow.
Is there an Arabic menu and receipt?
Yes. Menus, receipts and customer-facing screens can display Arabic and English side by side.
