# Tax, service charge and compliance, configured for your country

Set your own rates, decide whether menu prices include tax, add a service charge on its own line, and put your registration number on the bill. Nothing is hard-coded to one jurisdiction — the ledger splits every bill from the rules you entered.

## What is included

- VAT configured per branch, inclusive or exclusive
- Monthly VAT summary, sales and purchases detail
- Tax registration number printed on receipts
- Service charge handled separately from tax
- Export every report to PDF and Excel

## Why it works this way

🌍

### Works in any country, any currency

You set your own tax rates, service charge, currency, working week and payroll brackets — none of it is hard-coded to one country. Cash, cards, digital wallets, bank transfer and online gateways all settle through the same till.

⚖️

### Your books post themselves

Every sale, refund, purchase, payslip and expense writes its own balanced double-entry journal. Your trial balance is correct at 2 a.m. on a Friday.

🔤

### Nine languages, right-to-left included

Arabic, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Turkish, Portuguese and Romanian — every screen, report and printed receipt. Each user picks their own language, and Arabic renders in proper right-to-left throughout.

## Questions people ask about this

#### Does it really do full accounting, or just sales reports?

Full double-entry accounting: chart of accounts, journals posted automatically from sales, refunds, purchases, payroll and expenses, plus trial balance, balance sheet, P&L, payables, receivables, cost centers, fiscal-period closing, fixed assets and depreciation.

#### Who owns my data, and can I export it?

Your data is yours. Every report exports to PDF and Excel, and you can request full data deletion at any time. Each restaurant is fully isolated from every other one on the platform.

#### Is my data secure?

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with daily backups, role-based access for nine distinct staff roles, login lockout protection, and a full audit trail of who changed what and when.
