Share
Running a café is more than just serving great coffee. You’ve got to manage daily sales, keep costs in check, track inventory, pay staff, and handle tax filings — all while staying profitable.
If you’re still juggling Excel sheets, multiple apps, or outdated software not built for cafés, you’re doing more work than you need to.
Crossval was designed for owners like you — café operators who want to grow their business, not just survive the chaos. With Crossval, you get an all-in-one financial system that helps you:
- Record daily sales (with or without POS integration)
- Track expenses and vendor payments
- Generate profit & loss reports automatically
- Monitor your cash flow in real time
- Stay VAT-ready with zero stress
And the best part? You don’t need an accounting degree to use it.
Built with Café Owners in Mind
Unlike generic accounting tools, Crossval is purpose-built for the hospitality industry, including:
- ☕ Coffee shops and cafés
- 🥐 Bakeries and pastry shops
- 🍵 Tea houses and juice bars
- 🍰 Dessert parlors and small dine-in cafés
Every feature is tailored to match how cafés actually operate on the ground. That means smarter automations, fewer headaches, and more time for your customers.
What You Can Do with Crossval
1. Track Sales from Day One — Even Without a POS
Whether you use a POS system or not, Crossval lets you log daily takings and match them against expenses. Import data or input it manually — either way, it’s clean and simple.
Bonus: We support integrations with most popular POS systems in the UAE.
2. See Where Your Money’s Going — In Real Time
Crossval helps you categorize and monitor all your spending:
- Ingredients and supplies
- Utilities
- Staff wages
- Equipment repairs

- Generates FTA-ready VAT reports
- Helps you file faster and avoid costly mistakes
Forget year-end scrambles. You’ll be prepared all year round.
4. Stay on Top of Your Cash Flow
You can’t run a café on vibes — you need cash to buy stock, pay rent, and survive slow days.
Crossval gives you live cash flow insights so you can plan ahead and protect your bottom line.

Whether you’re paying staff weekly or monthly, Crossval helps you:
