STEP 1 · MENU & CATALOG

Create Your Digital Menu & Catalog.

Choose the fastest method to get your items, prices, and categories into Tappya.

Recommended · 30 Seconds

Option A: Instant AI Import

Snap a photo of your printed paper menu or type a brief description. Our AI vision and text agent structures all categories, items, prices, descriptions, and generates professional food photos automatically.

Full Control

Option B: Manual Dashboard Builder

Prefer creating items by hand? Log into your dashboard to easily configure categories, dish variants, combos, add-ons, and modifier groups (e.g. sizes, toppings, spice levels).

Download Table QR Codes & Share Link

Once your menu is created, download ready-to-print QR codes for your dining tables or copy your branded digital menu link for your Instagram and WhatsApp bios.

STEP 2 · POS INSTALL & PAIRING

Install POS Software & Onboard Your Device.

Turn any tablet, touchscreen PC, or smartphone into a commercial-grade Point of Sale.

Download the App for Your Device

Tappya runs natively on Android tablets & phones, Windows touchscreen POS terminals, and iPads. Download our lightweight app from the Downloads center.

1-Click Device Pairing & Login

Log into the app with your account credentials or generate a 6-digit terminal pairing PIN from your dashboard to activate your counter device instantly.

Offline-First

Works Without Internet

Never lose a sale during internet drops. The POS operates 100% offline, storing tickets locally and syncing seamlessly the moment connection returns.

STEP 3 · ESSENTIAL SETTINGS

Configure Quick Settings & Open Your First Shift.

A few essential settings and you're ready to ring up customers.

Taxes, Currency & Invoicing

Select your currency (EGP, SAR, AED, USD, etc.) and configure your local tax rate (e.g. 14% Egyptian VAT or 15% ZATCA Wave 24 compliance in Saudi Arabia).

Payment Methods & Receipts

Enable Cash, Card terminals, and split bill payments. Connect USB, Bluetooth, or LAN thermal receipt printers with one tap.

Open Your Shift & Start Ringing

Enter your opening cash drawer float, select your dining tables or takeaway mode, and take your first customer order in seconds!
