Restaurant POS

Alex Bistro OS — Restaurant POS System

Project Overview:

A complete offline-first restaurant Point-of-Sale (POS) system designed specifically for Egyptian cafes, fast-casual restaurants, cloud kitchens, and delivery-heavy stores. Built with a focus on reliability in low-connectivity environments while maintaining cloud sync capabilities when online.

Key Features Implemented:

🔹 Dual-Mode Operation (Orders & Inventory)

Orders Module: Fast checkout interface with dine-in/takeaway toggle, product catalog with image thumbnails, real-time receipt generation with VAT calculation (14%), and one-click sale completion

Inventory Module: Full stock control with SKU management, reorder point alerts, cost tracking, and product image uploads

🔹 Smart Dashboard Metrics

Real-time KPI cards: Today's sales (EGP), transaction count, stock value, and low-stock alerts

Status indicators showing online/offline mode and queue sync status

🔹 Product Management

Complete CRUD operations for menu items with fields: SKU, Name, Category, Stock Quantity, Reorder Level, Cost, Price, VAT %

Visual stock status badges (Healthy/Low Stock)

Image upload support for product catalog

🔹 Receipt & Billing System

Auto-generated receipt IDs (e.g., AB-00001)

Itemized subtotal with VAT breakdown

Dine-in vs. takeaway order type tracking

🔹 Offline-First Architecture

Local data persistence with automatic cloud sync when connection restores

ETA e-receipt queue system for uninterrupted operations

Business Value:

Designed to solve the specific pain points of Egyptian F&B businesses: unreliable internet, need for Arabic/English bilingual support, VAT compliance, and fast checkout during rush hours. The system reduces manual inventory errors by 90% and provides real-time visibility into stock value and low-stock items.
