Accounting, POS and stock software for catering and cloud kitchens in Bahrain

You quote BHD 6.500 per head for a 200-guest wedding in Manama based on last year's numbers, then chicken, oil and cheese all move before the event date. Without live recipe costing, a job that looked like a 30% margin can land at 12% — and you only find out when the supplier invoices come in weeks later.

Cloud kitchens burn through prep in high volume and there is rarely time to count anything. Trays get over-portioned, a case of prawns spoils in the back of the chiller, and staff meals never get recorded. By month-end the stock figure in your spreadsheet has no relationship to what is actually on the shelf.

Corporate catering in Bahrain usually runs on 30% advance, balance on delivery, and payment terms after that. When deposits are tracked in WhatsApp messages and a notebook, it is easy to serve a 400-cover event and forget the balance was never invoiced, or to double-count a deposit as revenue when it is really a liability.

Aggregator payouts arrive net of commission, cash covers events get settled at the venue, and supplier invoices sit in a WhatsApp thread. Rebuilding all of that into a VAT return for NBR from receipts and bank statements eats days you do not have, and every gap is a place where an error can creep in.

Build each dish and each per-head menu from its ingredients once. Tallium AI holds the current cost of every ingredient from your purchase invoices, so when the price of chicken moves, the cost of every menu containing it moves with it. You can see gross margin per dish and per event package before you send the quote, not after the job is done.

Every sale and every production batch deducts ingredients automatically, so you always have a running figure for what should be on the shelf. Record wastage, spoilage and staff meals in a few taps on the mobile app, run a spot count on high-value items, and Tallium AI shows you the variance instead of hiding it inside one lump 'cost of sales' number.

Raise a quote, convert it to a confirmed order, take the advance, and Tallium AI records it as a customer deposit rather than as income until the event is delivered. The balance sits on the job with a due date, so your coordinator can see every unpaid balance across next month's diary without opening a single spreadsheet.

POS tickets, aggregator settlements, event invoices and supplier bills all post into the same ledger as they happen, with VAT tracked at the right rate on each line. Scan a supplier delivery note with your phone and the AI reads the vendor, amount and tax so it is captured on the day, not at quarter-end. When it is time to prepare your VAT return for NBR, the figures are already sitting there. Confirm current rules with NBR or a local tax professional.
