Tapas Gold Nyali: Managing eTIMS, Bar Inventory and Remote Reporting with Cute Profit

For Tapas Gold, a premium bar and restaurant in Nyali, Mombasa, managing the business means keeping service, payments, inventory and financial records connected—even when the owners are away.

The team needed a practical way to handle eTIMS invoicing, monitor food and liquor stock, and access sales information without relying on constant calls to the premises.

Tapas Gold chose Cute Profit’s restaurant POS system in Kenya to bring these operations together, supported by M-Pesa integration and Sippy AI reporting.

Case Study at a Glance

The Challenge: Staying in Control Beyond the Restaurant Floor

A busy bar and restaurant needs more than a record of daily sales. Management must understand what was sold, how customers paid, which ingredients were consumed and what stock needs replenishing.

For Tapas Gold, three priorities shaped the choice of POS system:

• Connected eTIMS invoicing: Keep electronic invoicing linked to daily sales and billing.

• Remote access to business information: Give owners access to sales and performance reports when away from the Nyali premises.

• Closer control of food and liquor stock: Track the ingredients used in menu items and manage stock requests through a documented process.

The team needed these functions within the same system to make day-to-day oversight easier.

How Tapas Gold Uses Cute Profit

1. eTIMS Integration for Restaurant Invoicing

Tapas Gold uses Cute Profit’s KRA eTIMS integration to connect its billing workflow with electronic tax invoicing.

Bringing invoicing into the POS workflow reduces duplicate entry and helps the team maintain connected sales and invoice records. Cashiers can handle customer billing within the system used for everyday restaurant operations.

For management, this makes electronic invoicing easier to oversee alongside sales and payments.

2. Remote Sales Reporting with Sippy AI

Owners cannot always be on the restaurant floor to check performance. Tapas Gold uses Cute Profit’s cloud reporting and Sippy AI business assistant to access business information remotely.

Sippy AI allows management to ask questions about recorded sales and performance in everyday language, such as:

• “What were our total liquor sales today?”

• “Which menu items sold the most this week?”

• “Which waiter recorded the highest sales?”

This gives the ownership team a convenient way to explore business data and follow up with staff using information recorded in the system.

3. M-Pesa Integration for Payment Tracking

Tapas Gold uses Cute Profit’s M-Pesa integration to bring mobile payment information into its POS workflow.

Having payment records available within the system helps cashiers verify payments and reconcile them against sales, reducing reliance on checking messages on a separate phone.

For a bar and restaurant handling multiple tables, connected payment records also make it easier to investigate payment queries and review collections.

4. Recipe-Based Stock Tracking with Bill of Materials

Selling a cocktail uses ingredients rather than a single stock item. Cute Profit’s Bill of Materials (BOM) feature lets Tapas Gold define the quantities of ingredients associated with a drink or dish.

When a configured menu item is sold, the system deducts its assigned ingredient quantities from stock.

This helps management compare expected consumption with physical stock counts and investigate differences. The accuracy of those records depends on maintained recipes, recorded purchases and regular stock checks.

5. Digital Requisitions for Stock Requests

Tapas Gold also uses digital requisitions to manage internal stock requests.

Staff can record what they need, while management reviews requests through the system, including when working remotely. This creates a clearer record of requested and approved stock movements and supports more consistent replenishment.

What This Setup Gives Tapas Gold

Cute Profit brings Tapas Gold’s sales, payments, invoicing and inventory information into a connected management workflow.

For the ownership team, that means:
