Foodics publishes its UAE prices in dirhams, and its entry bundle is cheaper than ours. Read what sits inside it before you decide. A cafe that counts its stock needs inventory, and in Foodics' entry bundle inventory is an add on. With foodash it is part of the price, along with the kitchen display, cash drawer audits, reports and five AI agents. One number, the whole system.

Your stock counts itself
Every order deducts its own recipe from the shelf the moment it rings. No spreadsheet. No Sunday evening reconciling. No discovering on Thursday that the oat milk ran out on Tuesday and nobody said anything.
Most owners find at least one item they have been quietly underpricing for a year.
- Inventory reconciles last night's count against what you sold and names the gap while you are asleep.
- Forecast reads fourteen days ahead, so Friday is prepped for on Thursday.
- Reorder writes the purchase order. You press send.
- Insights tells you what moved, what stopped, and what it thinks you should do about it.
- Dash answers a question about your own numbers, in Arabic or English, in a sentence.
Every competitor in this market puts the word AI in a heading. Ours ran last night, across four cafes, and left a report waiting on the phone of every owner who wanted one.
The drawer adds up before you go home
Counted cash against what the system says came in, every session, with the difference named and the person who counted it on the record. It is the first screen most owners open, and the last argument they ever have about a missing hundred dirhams.
Built here, not translated into here
VAT is five percent because it is five percent in the UAE. The business day closes at four in the morning because that is when a Dubai cafe actually closes, not because a calendar in another country says midnight. Prices are in dirhams. Alerts go to WhatsApp, because that is where your team already lives.
