The Challenge: Commission traps and phone chaos
Restaurants suffer from delivery app commissions reaching up to 30%, which directly hinders increasing restaurant profits. This is paired with complete customer data loss and phone call chaos during peak hours. The solution was building a comprehensive POS system and smart QR menu that returns full operational control to the restaurant.
Smart Automation: QR menu and WhatsApp updates
Instead of middleman platforms, the system streamlines direct ordering and uses WhatsApp automation to automatically send "Thank you" or "Order tracking" messages. This direct interaction builds a strong database for customer loyalty programs.
Gulf Compliance and high resilience
The system is Gulf-ready through ZATCA e-invoicing compliance in Saudi Arabia and UAE VAT standards. Simultaneously, it features high offline resilience, working efficiently even with weak internet—a critical factor for successful restaurant automation in Damascus.
The Tisham Touch: WebSockets & UX
Behind the scenes, Ibraheem Z. engineered the backend for 100% uptime, utilizing WebSockets for real-time order notifications in the kitchen dashboard. Meanwhile, Khalid Zahir designed the interface to be "One-hand friendly," ensuring ultimate speed and comfort for waiters and mobile users.
