How UAE restaurants use Qashio to manage petty cash

Whether you're running a buffet restaurant in Abu Dhabi, a café in Downtown Dubai, or managing a chain listed on “restaurants near me” searches, the way you handle finances can make or break your business.

Too often, restaurant financial management is messy. There’s a petty cash drawer, a single business card everyone shares, and zero clarity on where the money actually goes. That's where Qashio steps in with a smarter way to manage spend across your entire F&B operation.

Eliminate Petty Cash and Manual Headaches

Many UAE restaurants still use petty cash for everyday supplier purchases, small repairs, and staff expenses. But it’s prone to leakage, fraud, and manual reconciliation. Qashio helps you eliminate petty cash in restaurants completely by issuing corporate credit cards for restaurants with category-based limits and approval workflows.

From breakfast joints in JLT to fine dining spots in DIFC, businesses are moving away from cash-based operations to fully cashless restaurant operations with Qashio.

Real-Time Digital Expense Tracking

Instead of waiting for end-of-month reconciliations or chasing missing receipts, Qashio gives you digital expense tracking with real-time dashboards. Know exactly where every dirham is going, whether you run a single location or multiple outlets across the UAE.
