What is BayanLine?
BayanLine is a cloud-based operating system for restaurants and cafés, Arabic at its core. It brings the point of sale, kitchen display, floor, online menu, delivery, inventory, recipes and costing, accounting and HR onto one platform. You enter the order once; it reaches the kitchen, stock is deducted by recipe and the journal entry is posted — with no double entry.
Who is it for?
For a restaurant or café with one branch or a whole chain, selling in the dining room, as takeaway or as delivery. The owner sees profit and costs, the cashier sells, the kitchen prepares, the accountant finds the books ready, and HR finds attendance and payroll in one place.

What does it include?
- Point of sale — Dine-in, takeaway and delivery from one screen, with bill splitting, approval-coded discounts and cash shifts.
- Kitchen display — Live tickets, preparation time for every order and printing on the kitchen printer.
- Floor and tables — A table plan in 2D and 3D, with reservations and open sessions.
- Online menu and store — A QR menu on the table and an online store for customers: offers, cart, checkout, account and order tracking — and its orders reach the cashier for approval.
- Delivery and drivers — Delivery zones and fees, a driver app with the driver's earnings, and integration with delivery platforms including their commission settlement.
- Inventory and purchasing — Warehouses, counts, transfers, purchase invoices, low-stock and expiry alerts, and importing materials from files.
- Recipes and costing — A recipe for every product, size and add-on, a ready library of materials and recipes, the cost and margin of each dish, and the effect of waste and overheads on price.
- Accounting — Automatic double entry, trial balance, income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, cash boxes, banks, suppliers and customers, fixed assets and depreciation, and period closing.
- Human resources — A file for every employee, attendance with location, on-time compliance, leave balances, contracts, salary structures, allowances and advances, payroll runs and Arabic payslips.
- Customers and marketing — A customer base, offers, campaigns, posts and an inbox in plain words — no marketing expertise needed.
- Control and permissions — Detailed permissions for every role, approval codes, an audit trail, and each restaurant's data isolated from the others.
- Reports — Live dashboards for sales, cost and profit, reports you can print and export, notifications and internal chat.
How is it different from a separate till program?
A separate till program records the sale and nothing more; what follows is handled in other tools. In BayanLine the order goes through every step from one record. Six examples:
- Order and accounting: The journal entry posts from the order itself — nothing is re-keyed.
- Dish cost: Worked out from the recipe and purchase prices, and fixed at every sale.
- Stock: Deducted at the sale by recipe, and reconciled with the books.
- Staff: Attendance, leave, contracts and payroll in one place, with the entries made for you.
- Customer orders: A QR menu and an online store that feed the same kitchen and the same books.
- Till and control: Denomination counts, approval codes, differences that get settled, and an audit trail.
