A restaurant POS bundle in the UAE needs three pieces of hardware at the counter and at least one in the kitchen: a touch-screen POS PC, a receipt printer, a cash drawer and a kitchen (KOT) printer. Bada Souq's restaurant bundle gives you the first three plus Vatrix POS Restaurant software for AED 2,699, delivered, installed and with staff trained free anywhere in the UAE. This guide explains what is in the box, what to add for the kitchen, and how to size it for a cafeteria, cafe or full dine-in restaurant.
Restaurants are the largest group Vatrix serves: 20.8% of 1,341 businesses, with cafeterias at 6.6% and cafes at 4.8% on top.
What is in the AED 2,699 restaurant POS bundle
| Component | Model | Why it matters for a restaurant |
|---|---|---|

Optional at order time: a VFD customer display so the customer sees the total.
What to add for the kitchen
The bundle covers the counter. For the kitchen you add a KOT printer. Vatrix supports multiple kitchen printers, so a shawarma station and a hot kitchen can each get their own tickets.
| Kitchen printer option | Model | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal 80 mm | POSBOLT P80T or Epson TM-T88 / TM-M30 | Quiet, fast, most cafeterias and cafes |
| Impact (dot-matrix) | Epson TM-U220 | Hot, oily kitchens where thermal paper fades |
| Mobile receipt printer | Epson TM-P60II | Waiter-side printing at tables |
The POSBOLT P80T is AED 250 including VAT; ask on WhatsApp for Epson prices. All listed printers connect over the shop LAN or USB.
Sizing the bundle by restaurant type
Cafeteria (one counter, small kitchen): one AED 2,699 bundle plus one kitchen printer. Menu buttons with images make new staff fast.
Cafe with takeaway and delivery: one bundle, one kitchen printer, and caller ID so repeat delivery customers are recognised when they phone.
Dine-in restaurant with 20+ tables: one bundle at the cashier, one or two extra counters or a Windows tablet for table-side orders, two kitchen printers (hot kitchen and beverages), all sharing one SQL Server database on the LAN.
Multi-branch: the same setup per branch; the owner reviews sales on the phone with the mobile sales report.

Checklist before you order
| Check | Why |
|---|---|
| Counter space for a 15-inch screen and cash drawer | The drawer sits under the POS; measure depth |
| Power point near counter and kitchen | Printers need their own sockets |

In practice
A 40-seat Indian restaurant in Sharjah orders one restaurant bundle and one Epson TM-U220 for the kitchen. On installation day the team sets up two kitchen printers (one for tandoor, one for curries), imports the menu from Excel, adds dish images and trains two cashiers. The owner receives the email sales report every night and checks the ingredient profit report weekly to spot dishes priced too low.
