What is different about running a business in Beirut?
Beirut has the densest mix of cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and salons in the country, packed into neighbourhoods such as Hamra, Achrafieh, Mar Mikhael, Gemmayzeh, Badaro, and Verdun. A customer can walk past five places that sell what you sell, so the one that is easiest to find, browse, and order from on a phone tends to win.
Delivery is a large share of sales, and it is shaped by traffic: the same five kilometres can take ten minutes or forty. Businesses that charge one flat fee across the city either lose money on far orders or overcharge the customer next door.
Customers here are used to ordering from their phone and paying by Whish, but many still pay cash in dollars, lira, or both. A system has to handle all of it without the cashier reaching for a calculator.

How do Beirut customers find you online?
Every YellowPOS business gets a store at its own link, with structured data that tells Google your opening hours, payment methods, and products. You can point your own domain at it, and link it from your Instagram bio and Google Business profile.
Use the announcement bar for the things Beirut customers ask about most — the delivery cut-off time, a free-delivery minimum, or tonight's special.
Frequently asked questions
Does YellowPOS work in Hamra, Achrafieh, and Mar Mikhael?
Yes — and in every other Beirut neighbourhood. It runs in a web browser, so a café in Hamra and a boutique in Achrafieh use exactly the same system, and you can set a different delivery fee for each neighbourhood you serve.
What is the best POS system for a small business in Beirut?
For most small Beirut businesses, it is one that handles USD and LBP, takes delivery orders with fees by area, and keeps working offline — without buying hardware. YellowPOS does all of that and adds an online store, QR menu, and booking page, from $15 a month.
Can I charge different delivery fees in different Beirut areas?
Yes. Create a delivery option for each area with its own fee, such as one for Achrafieh and another for Hamra. Customers choose theirs at checkout and drop a pin on Google Maps for the exact address.
Does someone come to my shop to set it up?
No — setup is self-serve and done remotely. You sign up, import or add your products, and start selling; help is available on WhatsApp, and the Store and Corporate plans include training sessions.
Do I need to buy a POS machine?
No. YellowPOS runs in a browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop. A receipt printer, cash drawer, or barcode scanner you already have will work with it, but none is required.
How much does it cost in Beirut?
The same everywhere in Lebanon: $15, $25, or $50 a month depending on the number of staff accounts, with no commission on sales and a 30-day free trial.
