Best POS for cafés and coffee shops in the UAE (2026)

A café runs small tickets, regulars and a morning rush. Here are six POS options for one in the UAE, with what each publishes about price, UAE VAT, Arabic and delivery apps.

delEat is our product. We wrote this page and list delEat first because it is ours, not because it is ranked first. Every fact about another product comes from that product’s own website, read on the dates in the notes, and delEat’s own gaps are listed with the rest. Updated 10 November 2026.

One by one

Who each one suits, and what to watch for.

delEat
A café that wants to start on the till, menu, offline mode and printing at the entry price, and add loyalty and its own ordering page later. Watch for: Loyalty, a kitchen display and own ordering are on the Shift plan, not the entry plan. A new product with no long customer history.
TajerGo
A café that wants to start at AED 0 a branch, with Arabic on the screen and a TRN on its receipts. Watch for: Paid-plan trials are described as planned, and delivery is a Talabat menu sync in beta. delEat and TajerGo, row by row.
Loyverse
A kiosk or small café on one tablet. Its core POS and kitchen display are free. Watch for: Not a UAE product by its own pages: USD add-ons, and no UAE VAT or delivery platform described. delEat and Loyverse, row by row.
Foodics
A café that wants payments and hardware from one company and a published monthly price. Watch for: Loyalty and inventory are add-ons on the Starter bundle. Hardware is quoted separately. delEat and Foodics, row by row.
Petpooja
A café that wants a Dubai office. It has a café page for the UAE and prices from AED 1,500 a year per outlet. Watch for: The exact price is quoted after a demo. Offline trading and TRN handling are not described. delEat and Petpooja, row by row.
Sapaad
A café group that wants a Dubai office and offline mode, and will take a quote. Watch for: The price is a quote. Arabic POS screens are not stated. delEat and Sapaad, row by row.

How to choose

Five questions to ask any vendor on this list.

Price
Start from what one outlet costs, then check what you add later. Loyalty, stock and kitchen screens are priced differently in each product. Ask for the full line, not the entry line.
Speed at the counter
Watch a real queue on a trial, not a demo. delEat gives 30 days with every module on and no card. Loyverse’s core is free. TajerGo has a free plan.
Regulars
Ask how a regular is found at the till and how points are earned. delEat finds a regular by phone number and runs points, tiers and stamp cards on the Shift plan.
Own ordering
Ask whether guests can order from your own page, and what it costs per order. delEat charges nothing per order on its own ordering page; the payment gateway charges its own fee.
Hardware
Check the tablet, printer and drawer you already own. delEat runs in a browser and prints over USB or Bluetooth in Chrome. Foodics sells its own device.

Questions

The questions people ask first.

What is the best POS for a café in the UAE?

For one small café on a tablet, a free or very low-priced start makes sense: Loyverse’s core POS is free and TajerGo has a free plan. For a café that wants UAE VAT by TRN, Arabic on the service screens and room to add loyalty and its own ordering page, delEat starts at AED 149 per outlet a month on a 2-year term. This page lists six options and what each publishes.

How much does a café POS cost in the UAE?

Foodics Starter is AED 199 a month billed annually. TajerGo runs from AED 0 to 99 a branch a month for a small café. Petpooja starts at AED 1,500 a year per outlet. delEat Tab is AED 149 per outlet a month on a 2-year term, or AED 199 billed monthly.

Can a café POS run on a tablet I already own?

delEat, Sapaad, Loyverse and TajerGo run on tablets or phones you may already own. Foodics has its own device, Foodics One, quoted per customer. Check each vendor’s printer list before you buy anything.

Does a café POS need to handle UAE VAT?

Yes. Prices in the UAE carry VAT, and a registered outlet prints a tax invoice. delEat backs VAT out of the menu price and keeps credit notes on their own series. TajerGo says its receipts carry your TRN.

Can a café take delivery orders on the same POS?

Direct online ordering is live on delEat from the Shift plan. The delivery apps (Talabat, Careem, Deliveroo, Noon Food) are pending certification on delEat. Petpooja says it connects all four directly. See the cloud kitchen list for the app detail.

Is this list neutral?

No. delEat is our product and we wrote the page. Every fact about another product comes from its own website, with the page and date in the notes. Write to hello@deleat.io if anything is wrong.
