Best POS for franchise restaurants in the UAE (2026)

A franchisor needs fees worked out from each outlet’s own sales, and each franchisee is its own company. Here are five POS options with what each publishes about franchise tools, UAE VAT and price.

One by one

Who each one suits, and what to watch for.

delEat: A franchisor that wants royalty and both marketing funds worked out per outlet, with the franchisee’s legal name, TRN and dates on each operator period. Watch for: It works out the fees but does not raise the fee invoice, and it is on Command, the top published price. A new product.
Restroworks: A franchisor with a large network that wants an enterprise platform with centralised multi-location control. Watch for: Franchise fee calculation is not described on the pages read. The price is a quote. delEat and Restroworks, row by row.
Foodics: A franchisor that wants branch stock and reports on one dashboard. Watch for: Franchise fee calculation is not described on the pages read, and its UAE page prints no VAT detail. delEat and Foodics, row by row.
Sapaad: A franchisor that wants central reporting, menu replication and stock transfers, and will take a quote. Watch for: Franchise fee calculation is not described on the pages read. The price is a quote. delEat and Sapaad, row by row.
Petpooja: A franchisor that wants outlets grouped by region, city, brand or channel with shared menus, by its own account. Watch for: Its multi-outlet page does not mention franchising, and TRN handling is not described. delEat and Petpooja, row by row.

How to choose

Five questions to ask any vendor on this list.

Fee rules: Ask which sales a fee is worked out on, and whether it can differ by outlet. delEat works royalty and both marketing funds on the base each agreement names (gross or net of discounts, VAT in or out), by network, brand or outlet, with a monthly minimum.
Each franchisee’s company: Ask how a change of operator is recorded. delEat keeps the franchisee’s legal name, TRN and dates on each operator period, so a fee follows the entity that traded.
Brand standard: Ask who can change recipes and menus. In delEat the brand writes the recipes and an outlet reads them.
The report: Ask what the franchise report shows and whether it exports. delEat’s Franchise Fees report shows base sales, each fee, the minimum top-up and the total per outlet, out to CSV.
The invoice: Ask who raises the fee invoice. delEat shows the fees before VAT; the invoice is raised separately and carries its own VAT.

Questions

The questions people ask first.

What is the best POS for a franchise restaurant in the UAE?

For a franchisor, the test is whether the POS works out fees from each outlet’s own sales. delEat publishes a franchise fees module on Command: royalty, local marketing and brand fund, per outlet. The other four describe multi-location control; fee calculation is not described on the pages read. Ask each directly.

Can a POS calculate royalties and marketing fees?

On delEat, yes, on Command. The defaults are 7, 2 and 1 percent, for the whole network, one brand or one outlet, each from its own start date. Terms are yours to set, on the base each agreement names.

How does a franchisee handle UAE VAT?

Each franchisee is usually its own company with its own TRN. On delEat each operator period carries the franchisee’s TRN and dates, and separate companies keep their own TRN.

Does the POS issue the franchise fee invoice?

delEat does not. It works out the fees and shows them before VAT. The invoice is raised separately.

How much does a franchise POS cost in the UAE?

delEat’s franchise tools are on Command: AED 719 per outlet a month on a 2-year term, AED 949 billed monthly. Restroworks, Sapaad and Petpooja quote. Foodics’ top bundle is AED 556 a month.

Is this list neutral?
