# Restaurant POS Software Pricing in Saudi Arabia (2026): 6 Systems Compared
A restaurant POS in Saudi Arabia must do more than accept payments. It may need to produce compliant electronic invoices, report transactions through ZATCA-required workflows, route orders to the kitchen, connect delivery platforms and manage several branches.
This guide compares six restaurant POS systems available to Saudi operators and explains how to evaluate their real cost.
Quick answer: Compliance comes before convenience. Shortlist only systems that can demonstrate the ZATCA requirements applicable to your business, then compare software, hardware, integration and support costs using the same written brief.
Pricing check: 28 July 2026. Prices and offers can change. Confirm Saudi riyal pricing, VAT and compliance scope directly with each vendor.

This is an editorial shortlist based on public information. It is not a ZATCA certification, legal opinion or hands-on product test. Product order is not for sale.
1. Foodics
Best starting fit: Saudi restaurant operators wanting a regional platform with POS, payments and add-on modules.
Foodics publishes a 2026 Saudi offer page with monthly and annually billed bundle references. At the time checked, the page displayed:
- Starter: SAR 423/month, or SAR 392/month when billed annually
- Basic: SAR 2,039/month, or SAR 1,888/month when billed annually
The bundle page lists modules including cloud POS, dashboards, reporting, KDS, customer display, inventory, Foodics Pay, online ordering, BI, API integration and table management, but not every module is included at every level.
Ask for a formal quote rather than treating the campaign page as a complete contract.
Check before buying:
- Which listed modules are included in the quoted bundle?
- Is pricing per branch, register or account?
- What hardware and Foodics Pay terms apply?
- Are delivery, KDS, online ordering and inventory included?
- Which ZATCA phase and wave requirements are covered?
- Does the total include VAT?
Possible limitation: The difference between the entry bundle and a broad operational bundle is significant; compare only the configuration your restaurant needs.
2. Marn
Best starting fit: Saudi restaurants and cafés that prefer a locally focused product family.
Marn provides restaurant POS, KDS, customer displays, waiter tools, inventory, loyalty and payment options. Its Saudi site states that its cashier supports electronic invoicing and promotes offline continuity.
Public pages contain several product and campaign references, but ChefPin could not verify one clear, current all-inclusive restaurant price. A fresh written quotation is therefore more reliable than quoting an isolated offer.
Pricing: Request a current Saudi restaurant quote.
Check before buying:
- Which POS, KDS, waiter and display modules are included?
- What equipment is purchased, financed or bundled?
- Which payment processing charges apply?
- Which ZATCA Phase 2 integration requirements are active for the business?
- Are onboarding and Arabic/English support included?
Possible limitation: Operators must separate software, hardware, payments and optional products to understand the real contract value.
3. Geidea POS
Best starting fit: Restaurants that want POS and payment acceptance under one Saudi provider relationship.
Geidea Point of Sale combines POS, reporting, offline support, delivery integrations, mobile ordering and integrated payment hardware. Its all-in-one approach may reduce handoffs between the POS vendor and payment provider.
The commercial total depends on the POS configuration, terminals, acquiring agreement and operational tools.
Pricing: Quote required.
Check before buying:
- What software fee applies per outlet and terminal?
- What are the payment processing, settlement and device terms?
- Which restaurant functions—tables, KDS, recipes and inventory—are included?
- Which delivery integrations are live?
- How are ZATCA onboarding and ongoing updates handled?
Possible limitation: Integrated payments are convenient, but the operator should compare merchant-acquiring terms separately from the software value.
4. Sapaad
Best starting fit: Restaurants wanting a browser-based POS and a modular set of restaurant operations tools.
Sapaad Saudi Arabia states that a standard single-outlet POS subscription starts at:
- US$59.99 per month
- US$49.99 per month on the stated annual offer
- US$39.99 per month on the stated two-year offer
Optional modules include inventory, restaurant ecommerce, partner-order management, QR ordering and loyalty. The Saudi pricing contact page is quote-led, so request the payable amount in SAR, tax treatment and renewal terms.
Check before buying:
- Which Saudi delivery and payment partners are supported?
- Which modules are required beyond the base POS?
- Is the Saudi deployment compliant with the business’s current ZATCA wave?
- What are the charges for each additional outlet?
- What happens when a promotional term ends?
Possible limitation: The base price is not the complete cost for a restaurant requiring inventory, KDS, delivery connections and local compliance work.
5. Restroworks
Best starting fit: Multi-outlet brands needing centralized menus, inventory, kitchen operations and reporting.
Restroworks provides an enterprise restaurant platform with POS, inventory, KDS, digital ordering, analytics and integrations. The company lists a Riyadh presence and supports regional delivery integrations including Jahez.
Its pricing depends on software modules, size, terminal count and hardware requirements.
Pricing: Custom estimate.
Check before buying:
- What is the fee per outlet, terminal and module?
- Which Saudi payment and delivery integrations are included?
- Who performs ZATCA onboarding and testing?
- What implementation and data-migration charges apply?
- What support service level is contractual?
Possible limitation: A small single-outlet business may not need the platform’s enterprise scope.
6. Oracle Simphony
Best starting fit: Hotels, international chains and complex restaurant estates.
Oracle Simphony supports multiple restaurant formats, KDS, online ordering, analytics and an open integration ecosystem. It is relevant where the POS must connect with hotel, enterprise finance, loyalty and regional technology systems.
The Saudi implementation will normally involve a tailored commercial and technical scope.
Pricing: Custom quote.
Check before buying:
- Which local implementation and support partner will be responsible?
- What hardware, software and cloud term is required?
- Which ZATCA, payment, delivery and hotel integrations are included?
- What are the rollout, testing and acceptance milestones?
- How will data be exported if the contract ends?
Possible limitation: The implementation and integration programme may be too complex for an independent café.
ZATCA e-invoicing: what to verify
Saudi Arabia’s FATOORAH programme is not a feature-box exercise.
ZATCA explains that Phase 1 requires compliant electronic invoice generation, while Phase 2 is introduced in waves and requires integration with ZATCA systems and the prescribed format. ZATCA notifies taxpayers targeted for Phase 2.
For a typical restaurant issuing B2C simplified tax invoices, ask the vendor to demonstrate the relevant workflow, not only a sample receipt.
The evaluation should cover:
- Applicable taxpayer phase and wave
- Simplified tax invoice fields and QR code
- Arabic invoice requirements
- UUID, cryptographic stamp and invoice sequencing where applicable
- Reporting of simplified invoices
- Clearance workflow for applicable tax invoices
- Credit and debit notes
- Offline handling and later reporting
- Device onboarding and certificate renewal
- Tamper resistance and audit logs
- XML or required machine-readable format
- Secure storage and export
ZATCA states that taxpayers may choose any solution provider as long as the solution complies; inclusion on an indicative provider list is not, by itself, the taxpayer’s full compliance test. Review the official technical guidance and obtain qualified advice for the business.

Saudi POS quotation checklist
Provide the same brief to every vendor:
- City and restaurant format
- Legal entities, VAT registrations and ZATCA phase/wave status
- Branches, tills, tablets, kiosks and kitchen screens
- Dine-in tables and peak order volume
- Takeaway, direct ordering and delivery platforms
- Payment methods and current acquiring bank

Require each proposal to separate software, hardware, payments, implementation, integrations, ZATCA work, training, support, VAT and renewal.
Demo workflows
Ask every shortlisted vendor to run:
- A dine-in order with modifiers and split payment
- A B2C simplified tax invoice and QR code
- A refund and associated credit note
- The applicable ZATCA reporting or clearance flow
- An internet outage and recovery
- A delivery order routed to the correct kitchen station
- A sold-out item updated across channels
- Recipe inventory deduction
- A central menu update across two branches
- A full export of invoices, sales and menu data
Use the restaurant’s real menu and tax setup.
Which system fits which Saudi restaurant?
Small café
Evaluate an appropriately scoped Foodics, Marn, Geidea or Sapaad package. Prioritize simple staff training, local support, payment cost and demonstrated ZATCA workflow.
Full-service restaurant
Prioritize tables, modifiers, courses, split bills, waiter ordering, KDS, inventory and delivery integrations.
Cloud kitchen
Prioritize multi-brand menus, channel uptime, item availability, order reconciliation and kitchen routing.
Multi-outlet Saudi chain
Evaluate Foodics, Marn, Restroworks and other platforms that can demonstrate central menu, branch permissions, inventory and ZATCA operations at scale.
Hotel or international group
Oracle Simphony and Restroworks may enter the enterprise shortlist alongside platforms already approved by the group’s IT and finance teams.
Red flags
- “ZATCA compliant” without a demonstration for the business’s phase and wave

- Arabic invoice support shown only in a screenshot
- No offline and recovery procedure
- Delivery integrations promised but not named in the contract
- No data export

Frequently asked questions
How much does restaurant POS software cost in Saudi Arabia?
Foodics currently publishes Saudi campaign references beginning at SAR 392 per month when its Starter offer is billed annually. Sapaad publishes a base single-outlet reference from US$59.99 per month. Marn, Geidea, Restroworks and Oracle require current quotations for a dependable comparison.
Does ZATCA approve every POS vendor?
ZATCA says taxpayers may choose any e-invoicing solution provider as long as the solution is compliant with the requirements. The taxpayer should evaluate the actual solution and its applicable integration—not rely only on a vendor logo or directory appearance.
What is the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2?
Phase 1 covers compliant invoice generation and storage. Phase 2 is introduced in waves and adds integration with ZATCA systems and further technical requirements. Check the business’s notification and official ZATCA guidance.
Should price or compliance decide the shortlist?
Compliance is a minimum requirement. Among systems that pass it, compare operational fit, support and complete cost.
Final recommendation
Start with the business’s ZATCA status and operational workflow. Shortlist three systems, request itemized first-year and renewal totals, then test identical invoice, payment, delivery and kitchen scenarios.
Technology and staffing should be designed together. Use ChefPin’s chef job description template to assign kitchen responsibilities and create a ChefPin employer account when hiring the operating team.
For other markets, compare ChefPin’s POS pricing guides for the USA, UAE, India and the United Kingdom.
