A POS system designed for bakeries and pastry shops in Salmiya, helping businesses control ingredient usage, manage custom orders, and handle morning and evening rushes efficiently from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **Bake Too Much and Bin It, Bake Too Little and Sell Out** — Every morning is a gamble. Bake too much and the unsold loaves and pastries go in the bin at close; bake too little and you are turning customers away by 11am. Without yesterday's numbers and a clear view of what actually sells on a quiet Tuesday versus a busy Saturday, you are guessing with fresh ingredients and real money every single day.
- **You Do Not Know What a Cake Actually Costs to Make** — Flour, butter, sugar, eggs, gas, icing, packaging — without costing each recipe, you price your cakes and breads on feel and hope there is margin left at the end. When ingredient prices jump, you only find out at month-end that your bestseller has quietly been barely breaking even.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Fast one-tap buttons for your regular loaves and pastries, instant KNET, card, and cash, and pre-orders ready for collection keep the counter moving. *You serve far more customers between seven and nine, turning the morning rush into takings instead of a queue that leaves.*
- Sales history by product, day, and hour shows exactly what sells when, so you bake to real demand instead of a guess — and see day-old waste fall week on week. *Less binned at close and fewer empty shelves by midday — you bake what actually sells.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Your Bakery** — Import products, configure recipes, pricing, and expiry tracking.
2. **Train Your Staff** — Minimal training needed. Staff can start selling immediately.
3. **Reduce Waste & Grow** — Track freshness, manage inventory, and increase daily sales.

## Features

- **KNET, Card & Cash** — Take KNET, cards, and cash at the counter, and issue a MOF-compliant receipt automatically on every sale.
- **Staff Accountability & Reports** — Per-staff sales logs, manager-approved voids, and live bestseller and peak-hour reports from your phone — so leakage shows and you bake smarter.
- **Production Planning & Waste Tracking** — Sales history by product, day, and hour shows what actually sells when, with freshness and FIFO logic — so you bake to real demand and watch day-old waste fall.
- **Recipe Costing & Ingredient Stock** — Link each product to its recipe so ingredients deduct as you bake, you see the true cost and margin of every loaf and cake, and low-stock alerts fire before the bake stops.

## Running a Business in Salmiya

Salmiya sits in Hawalli Governorate and is a major shopping and residential district.

Salmiya is one of Kuwait's principal shopping districts, combining malls with dense street-level retail and a busy restaurant scene serving residents and visitors. Evening and weekend peaks are pronounced, card payment dominates, and multi-outlet operators need consolidated reporting across closely spaced branches.

One of the principal shopping districts, combining malls with dense street-level retail and a busy restaurant scene, peaking in evenings and at weekends. The binding constraint is consolidated reporting across closely spaced outlets under the same operator.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have thrown out the day-old loaves too.** The morning gamble of how much to bake, the bestseller that turned out to barely break even once butter went up, the birthday cake order written on a sticky note that fell off the wall. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to bakery and cafe owners in Nairobi, where fresh stock has a clock on it and every cake is either margin or waste.
