−9 points of food cost in 90 days
Food cost was eating us alive at 34%. Polaris dropped it to 25% in three months — that's AED 47,300 back in my pocket every single month. Nothing in my career has had a bigger ROI.

12 years. Zero broken integrations.
We integrate with hundreds of POS systems worldwide. Polaris is the only one in MENA that ships fixes in days, not quarters. Twelve years in — they're still our first call.

4 aggregators · 1 screen · 0 missed orders
Talabat, Deliveroo, Careem and our own app used to mean four tablets and one nervous breakdown per shift. Polaris pulled them onto one screen. We haven't lost an order in six months.

Whole team trained in one afternoon
I've used four POS systems in 8 years. Polaris is the only one my team learned in a single afternoon — and the only one where support actually picks up the phone.

Stock variance: 5.4% → 1.1%
Before Polaris, 5% of our stock just "disappeared" every month. Now I see the cost of every loaf and every croissant in real time. Variance is down to 1%.

VAT filed in 8 minutes — on my phone
Quarter-end used to mean three sleepless nights for my team. Last quarter I filed VAT in eight minutes, in the back of an Uber. The FTA officer laughed when I told him.

600 orders/day · one tap each
Punching an order used to take five clicks. Polaris does it in one. Multiply that across 600 orders a day — that's an extra hour every shift my team gets back.

90s → 25s per order at lunch rush
Lunch used to mean a line out the door. We cut order time from 90 seconds to 25. Same staff, double the customers, zero shouting in the kitchen.

From "everyone is angry" to "everyone is happy"
Our old POS had my staff complaining every single shift. Six months on Polaris — the complaints stopped. The team is happy, the customers are happy, my accountant is happy. I sleep again.

Common questions
Everything you might be wondering.
How long does setup actually take?
Most UAE restaurants are fully live in 48 hours. Our Dubai team migrates your menu, suppliers and historical data — you handle nothing.
Do I need to train my staff?
If your staff can use WhatsApp, they can use Polaris. 20 minutes of training is enough for the average user.
How does Polaris handle UAE VAT?
Every invoice is automatically VAT-coded. Your 5% return is generated as a one-click FTA-ready export at the end of each tax period. Updates with every FTA rule change at no extra cost.
Will it work with my current POS hardware?
Polaris works on iPad, Android, Windows, and most ESC/POS printers, drawers and scanners. We support 95%+ of UAE hardware out of the box.
What if my internet goes down?
Polaris works offline. Orders, payments and waste logs queue locally and sync the moment you're back online. Your service never stops.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No long-term contract on monthly plans. No penalty. No questions. Annual plans are refundable on a pro-rata basis within the first 90 days.
Is my data safe?
Bank-grade encryption (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit). Daily backups. UAE PDPL aligned. Your data belongs to you — export anytime.
Do you fully support Arabic?
Yes — Arabic-first, not just translated. Reports, invoices, dashboards, and support are all native Arabic. Switch language per user.
Can I manage multiple outlets from one dashboard?
Yes — unlimited outlets on Growth and Enterprise plans. Consolidated reports, per-outlet drill-down, and group-level KPIs.
Where is your team based?
Dubai Internet City. Arabic-first support, on-site setup across the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, RAK, Ajman, Fujairah, UAQ), and same-day response in business hours.
