Almawarid is Algerian software for pastry shops with a lab, a display counter, a tea room and a till: production in the lab with the real cost of every batch (ingredients, team hours, lab overheads), a touchscreen till and evening closing, table service, cake orders with a pick-up date, stock by location and transfer notes from the lab to the shop, purchasing, time clock and Algerian payroll. It runs in Arabic and French, is paid yearly in dinars, also works without Internet on Windows, and its data is hosted in Algeria.

The order ticket carries a QR code: your customer sees where their order stands.
