Stop Paying 30% on Every Order

Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds restaurant and F&B systems for the UAE market. From a branded ordering app that wins back commission-free delivery orders to a full POS, kitchen display and recipe-level inventory platform, we replace a counter full of aggregator tablets and disconnected tools with one system your floor, kitchen and head office actually run on.

For UAE Restaurants & Cafés

Restaurant POS & Kitchen Systems

A restaurant POS has to survive a full Friday service. We build tills that handle dine-in, takeaway and delivery on one screen, route tickets to the right kitchen station with prep timers, and print a compliant UAE tax invoice with service charge and municipality fee handled correctly every time.

Restaurant POS

Dine-in, takeaway and delivery orders on one till, with modifiers, courses, splits and table transfers.

Table & Floor Management

Live table map, covers, waiter assignment and turn times for busy Dubai service periods.

Kitchen Display System

Orders routed to the right station with prep timers, course firing and bump-bar or touch confirmation.

Bills & VAT Invoices

Split bills, service charge, municipality fee and 5% VAT-compliant printing in Arabic and English.

Staff & Shift Control

Roles, voids and discount approvals, shift cash-ups and per-server sales performance.

Payments at the Table

Card terminals, Apple Pay, QR pay-at-table and instalment options integrated into the bill.

Direct Orders & Delivery

Online Ordering & Food Delivery Apps

Every aggregator order costs you roughly a third of the ticket and hides the customer. We build branded ordering apps and websites that convert your regulars into direct orders, with your own rider tracking — while still pulling Talabat, Deliveroo, Careem and Noon Food orders into the same POS and the same report.

Branded Ordering App

Your own iOS and Android app for delivery, pickup and re-orders — commission-free, with push offers.

Online Ordering Website

Fast, SEO-ready ordering site with live menu, upsells and one-page checkout that converts.

QR Menu & Order at Table

Scan-to-order and pay from the table, cutting waiter trips and lifting average check.

Own Delivery & Rider App

Assign riders, track drops live and give customers an ETA without paying aggregator commission.

Aggregator Integrations

Talabat, Deliveroo, Careem and Noon Food orders and menus synced into one POS and one report.

Reservations & Waitlist

Online booking, deposits, waitlist SMS and no-show tracking connected to your floor plan.

Food Cost & Compliance

Inventory, Central Kitchen & HACCP

Food cost creeps quietly. We build recipe-level inventory that deducts ingredients per dish, purchasing that keeps supplier prices honest, and digital HACCP logs your municipality inspector can review on the spot — plus production and transfer flows for central and cloud kitchens running several brands.

Recipe-Level Inventory

Ingredients deducted per dish and modifier so theoretical and actual food cost finally line up.

Purchasing & Suppliers

Par levels, purchase orders, supplier price comparison and GRN matching to control cost inflation.

Central & Cloud Kitchen

Production planning, inter-branch transfers and multi-brand order routing for cloud-kitchen operators.

HACCP & Food Safety Logs

Temperature checks, cleaning schedules and expiry tracking recorded digitally for municipality audits.

Wastage & Yield Tracking

Log wastage by reason and station, with yield analysis that shows where margin is disappearing.

Menu Engineering

Item profitability and popularity matrices that tell you what to promote, reprice or cut.

Repeat Diners & Group Growth

Loyalty, CRM & Multi-Outlet Control

Once orders come to you directly, the customer data is yours. We build loyalty, WhatsApp campaigns and a unified guest profile across dine-in and delivery, with head-office menu control, franchise royalties and group-level analytics for operators running several outlets or brands.

Loyalty & Rewards

Points, tiers and visit-based rewards that bring diners back directly instead of via an aggregator.

Guest CRM

Order history, preferences and allergens unified across dine-in, delivery and pickup.

WhatsApp Campaigns

Segmented offers, order updates and win-back messages in Arabic or English.

Sales & Channel Analytics

Revenue by outlet, channel, hour and item, with aggregator commission tracked as a real cost line.

Multi-Outlet & Franchise

Central menu and pricing control, franchise royalties and consolidated group reporting.

Reviews & Feedback

Post-meal feedback routing that catches complaints before they reach Google or Zomato.

Built for the UAE

VAT-Compliant, Bilingual & Locally Integrated

UAE F&B has its own rules — VAT, service charge, municipality fee, Arabic menus and delivery habits shaped by aggregators. We build for all of it, including the payment methods Dubai diners expect and clean cash-on-delivery reconciliation at the end of every shift.

VAT & Municipality Ready

5% VAT tax invoices, service charge and municipality fee handled correctly on every bill.

Arabic & English (RTL)

Bilingual menus, tills, receipts and customer app with proper right-to-left Arabic support.

Local Payments

Cards, Apple Pay, Tabby, Tamara, PayTabs and Telr, plus clean cash-on-delivery reconciliation.

FAQ

Common Questions

A branded online ordering app or website with your own delivery starts from around AED 40,000. A restaurant POS with kitchen display and inventory typically runs AED 80,000–160,000, and a multi-outlet F&B platform with central kitchen and franchise control AED 160,000–250,000+. You get a fixed, itemised quote within 24 hours.

Yes. We connect delivery aggregators so their orders drop straight into your POS and kitchen display instead of a separate tablet per platform — with menu, price and stock-out sync pushed back out, and all channels reported in one sales dashboard.

Aggregators take 25–30% of every order and keep the customer relationship. A branded ordering app or website converts your regulars into direct, commission-free orders, gives you their contact data for campaigns, and pays for itself quickly at typical Dubai delivery volumes.

We do. Orders route to the right station with prep timers and course firing on a KDS, while recipe and modifier-level inventory deducts ingredients per dish so you can see theoretical versus actual food cost and catch wastage early.

It is. Every bill is a 5% UAE VAT-compliant tax invoice, menus and receipts run bilingually in Arabic and English, and we integrate the payment methods UAE diners use — cards, Apple Pay, Tabby, Tamara, PayTabs and Telr — plus cash-on-delivery reconciliation.

An ordering app or website launches in roughly 6–8 weeks; a POS and kitchen system takes 3–4 months depending on integrations. You receive 100% source-code ownership and the Git repository on completion — no lock-in, ever.
