For restaurants in the UAE
Run the restaurant. Otto does the rest.
Sales from your till, invoices from a photograph, stock to the gram, books in double entry, and a VAT 201 that builds itself out of what was posted. It runs overnight, while the restaurant is shut.
- VAT 201 built box by box
- Corporate tax working sheet
- Every branch, one set of books
You know what came in. Where the money went is a guess.
Sales sit in the till
The report is emailed every night and nobody opens it until the accountant asks in March.
Invoices sit in a drawer
Paper from twelve suppliers, typed in once a month, if at all.
Stock is a feeling
You order because the shelf looks low, not because 1,400 burgers went out.
VAT is a scramble
Four weeks of the quarter go into the return, and the number is still a best guess.
The walkthrough
Open it. Click anything.
A sample restaurant, Northwind Dubai, with a month of real numbers.
Every screen is real. Keep clicking.
Six jobs, done for you.
Books
Double entry, posted while you sleep.
Every sale, invoice, waste line and bank movement becomes a journal entry the night it happens.
Kitchen
Cost every dish to the gram.
A recipe is ingredients and quantities.
Invoices
Photograph it at the back door.
The invoice is read into lines the moment the crate lands.
Stock
Orders drafted before you run out.
Sales count stock down portion by portion.
Banking
The bank statement, matched.
Import whatever your bank exports.
Close
Close the month in an afternoon.
A close is a checklist Otto keeps: unposted lines, unmatched bank items, invoices in review.
Federal Tax Authority
Built for the Federal Tax Authority.
The VAT 201 is a working sheet built box by box from posted entries, so the return is a read-out, not a reconstruction. The corporate tax sheet starts from the accounting profit the P&L already shows.
The app
For people away from the desk.
Photograph the invoice at the back door and approve the order from wherever you are. It works with no signal.
Before you book the call.
Do we have to change our till?
No. Otto reads the daily file from any till, and connects directly where a till has an API.
Who does the setup?
We do, on the demo call and the week after. Your part is the exports and the invoices.
Where is our data?
In a database schema of your own, separated from every other restaurant's, with two-factor sign-in and roles. See Security.
Can our accountant keep their software?
Yes. The journal export lands in QuickBooks, Xero or Zoho Books as lines.
What does it cost?
A base subscription plus the modules you use. We quote on the call, in your currency.
Bring one week of your own reports.
We import them on the call and show your own numbers before it ends.
