Using it in the Gulf

Cafes in the Gulf often run long opening hours with rotating staff. Use shifts and attendance in HRM, set your local tax rate and currency, and show the interface to staff in English or Arabic.

Tax rates and currency are set per account. Inventorious is not a certified e-invoicing or tax filing system, so confirm local requirements with your accountant.
