Odoo POS is the point of sale application in the Odoo suite, used for retail counters and food service. It runs in a browser or on a tablet, keeps trading when the internet drops, and shares stock, pricing, customer and accounting data with the rest of Odoo rather than syncing from a separate system.
Scope
Barcode scanning, price lists and promotions, returns and exchanges, gift vouchers, customer loyalty, cash control and end-of-day reconciliation.
Table management and floor plans, split bills, order modifiers, course handling and kitchen printing.
Multi-outlet operation from one item master, real-time stock deduction, and automatic posting to Odoo Accounting.
Offline
Transactions are held locally and sync when the connection returns. This matters more than the feature list suggests.
Receipts carry 5% VAT and can be configured with the fields required for a valid tax invoice, in Arabic and English, with a full tax invoice available at the counter on request.
Integration
Each sale posts revenue, VAT and cost of goods sold to stock and the ledger. No end-of-day upload, no separate reconciliation.
That connection is what distinguishes Odoo POS from a standalone till: margin by product, dead stock visibility, and reorder alerts driven by actual sales.
Purchase receiving, inter-store transfers and stock counts run through the same system.
F&B
Table management, floor plans, split bills, kitchen printing and modifiers cover this well.
Multi-outlet groups with a central kitchen, detailed recipe costing and delivery aggregator integrations should compare Odoo against dedicated platforms before committing.
Hardware is a tablet, laptop or standard PC plus a receipt printer, barcode scanner, cash drawer and a payment terminal from your acquiring bank. Odoo supports common hardware over network or USB, which keeps setup cost well below proprietary systems requiring specific terminals. Enterprise is licensed per user with all apps included, so POS adds no separate licence charge.

Yes. The session continues if the internet drops, holding transactions locally and syncing once connectivity returns. This matters for mall retail and any location with unreliable connectivity, where being unable to take payment even briefly costs the whole queue rather than a single sale.
It supports table management, floor plans, split bills, kitchen printing and modifiers, which covers cafes and smaller restaurants well. Larger multi-outlet groups with central kitchens and delivery aggregator integrations should compare it against dedicated restaurant platforms before committing to it.
Yes. Receipts carry 5% VAT and can be configured with the fields required for a valid tax invoice, in Arabic and English. Sales post to Odoo Accounting automatically with the correct tax treatment, so no separate end-of-day upload is required.
Yes. Each outlet runs its own POS session drawing on shared or location-specific stock, with transfers between them tracked and consolidated reporting by outlet, product and hour. Stock deducts at the moment of sale rather than through a nightly batch update.
