A POS system built for how Mauritius pays
Ferculon handles VAT returns, MCB Juice payments with their reference, deliveries with your own riders, WhatsApp booking confirmations and service during an internet outage.
What a restaurant here needs
Six things that decide whether a point of sale survives a Friday service in Mauritius.
Cash, card and MCB Juice side by side
Payment methods are set per restaurant, and a wallet transfer is recorded with the reference your staff type in. The day is then broken down by method and by staff member.
VAT at 15%, inclusive or added
You set whether you are registered, the rate and whether prices include it. Each order keeps the rules it was priced under, and the VAT on sales is totalled for each return period.
Your own riders, not a commission
Pick-up and delivery orders come from your own page. The counter accepts them, the kitchen marks them ready, and a live map shows each rider and the cash they are holding.
Bookings confirmed on WhatsApp
Guests book from your page and confirm their number with a WhatsApp code, or an email code if WhatsApp fails. The confirmation, the reminder and any cancellation follow.
It keeps going when the line drops
Every screen keeps showing its last view while the connection is down, and staff can still clock in and out. Everything syncs when it comes back.
One PIN each on a shared tablet
Devices are paired with a code and unlocked with a 4-digit PIN. Voids, discounts and refunds are limited to the roles you allow, and every one of them is logged with who approved it.
Takings, VAT and the audit trail
The back office opens in any web browser. It shows takings and charges against the previous period, every paid order and payment, daily totals, till counts and the VAT on sales for each return period.
- Cash, card and wallet payments split by method and by staff member
- Till counts against what was expected, with the variance
- Voids, discounts, refunds and drawer openings, each with who approved it
- CSV and PDF exports for your accountant
Cora Counter, sales Rs 26,030. The team’s usual is under 0.5%.
Questions from restaurants in Mauritius
Does Ferculon work for a restaurant in Mauritius?
Yes. Ferculon is sold and supported in Mauritius. The tax engine is set to your own rate, so VAT at 15% can be included in menu prices or added at the till, and payment methods such as MCB Juice are recorded with the transfer reference. Ferculon is not a Mauritius-only product, so nothing on the island is hard-coded into it.
Does Ferculon send invoices to the MRA e-invoicing system?
No. Ferculon does not transmit fiscal invoices to the MRA Electronic Billing System today. It records the VAT on every order, holds your BRN and VAT number on the receipt, totals the VAT for each return period and keeps an audit log of every void, discount and refund. If your turnover puts you inside the mandate, ask us before you buy.
What equipment do we need to buy?
Phones or tablets for the staff, any screen with a web browser for the kitchen display and the back office, and a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth receipt printer if you want paper. The cash drawer opens through the receipt printer.
Can guests order from a QR code on the table?
Yes. Each table has its own code. The guest gives a name and a mobile number, confirms the number with a code, and orders from their phone. The order joins the same bill the waiter has open and goes to the kitchen.
How much does it cost?
Ferculon is priced for each restaurant rather than sold as a plan, because the number of tables, the stations in the kitchen and whether you deliver all change the work. Email [email protected] with those details and we will send a quote.
Can we take orders for pick-up and delivery without a delivery app?
Yes. Your restaurant gets its own page for pick-up and delivery orders, with your own last orders time for each channel and your own riders. The orders arrive on the same counter screen and the same kitchen display as everything else.
