Retail technology editorial team
The Sandooq editorial team writes practical guides for retailers and hospitality operators across the GCC and Levant. We draw on building and supporting Sandooq itself — POS workflows, multi-store inventory, dual-currency cash management, and store-configured tender setups.
We focus on operational reality: what actually breaks at the counter on a busy Saturday, how tax compliance plays out on real receipts, what hardware lasts five years versus what fails in six months. Every guide is reviewed by the team that builds and supports Sandooq.
