Talk to us about your restaurant
Tell us what you run, how many tills you need and where you are stuck today. We will answer with something useful — a demo slot, an installer and a licence, a migration plan, or a straight no if the product is not right for you.
Try it without asking anyone
Not a demo build with the useful parts switched off. It is the shipped application, with your own menu and your own prices — free for five days in your browser, and you do not need to talk to us to start.
1 · Open the demo
Enter your name and an email address on the demo page. No card, no account, no installer. One demo per address.
2 · Five days from that moment
A countdown sits in the corner the whole time and turns red on the last day, so the end never takes you by surprise.
3 · Real data, immediately
It opens with a chart of accounts, a menu and a floor plan already in place, so the first sale takes minutes rather than an afternoon.
4 · Keep it, or don't
On day six the application blocks and asks for an activation code. Your books are still there — a paid code unlocks them again with the week's work intact.
Book a demo or ask a question
Every field below becomes a labelled line in the email, so the more you fill in, the better the first reply will be.
One address for sales, licences and support. It reaches the people who build the product, not a call centre.
Support hours
Sunday to Thursday, 9:00–18:00 AST.
We reply within one business day, and the same day on a Multi-branch licence. Messages sent over the weekend are answered on Sunday morning.
Where we are
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
We do not publish a street address. Everything from a demo to an activation code is handled by email, and on-site installation is quoted per city when you need it.
Before you write
Three things turn a two-day exchange into one reply.
- Your machine code if it is an activation question — the app shows it on the activation screen, in the form
MZR-DE07-EB9C-0099-17AA-7118. - Your version number, so we know which build you are on. The current release is v1.4.1.
- What you were doing when it went wrong — the screen you were on, what you pressed, and what appeared instead.
Requesting your installer and licence
There is no download button that hands out an unlocked build, because a licence is tied to the machine it runs on. The exchange takes two emails and no internet connection on your side beyond receiving them.
From the first email to a working till
-
Tell us your platform and device count
Windows 10 or 11, macOS on Intel or Apple silicon, or Linux — and how many machines will run the app. Use the form above, or write to finance@northbeam.sa.
-
We send the installer
Windows gets an NSIS installer plus a portable executable, macOS gets a
.dmgand a.zip, Linux gets anAppImageand a.deb. -
Install and read your machine code
On first launch the activation screen shows a machine code in the form
MZR-DE07-EB9C-0099-17AA-7118. It is derived from a stable identifier for that computer. -
Send the machine code back
We sign an activation code with an Ed25519 private key that never leaves us. The signature covers the machine code and the expiry together, so the code is useless on any other machine and the expiry cannot be edited.
-
Paste the activation code in
The app verifies the signature against the public key it already ships with and unlocks. No internet connection is needed at any point in this step, and a reinstall on the same machine stays activated.
What you get with the licence
- A one-time, node-locked activation valid for a fixed period — one year by default.
- The full desktop application: accounting, inventory, purchases, payroll, POS and floor plan, all offline.
- Sign in on first run with
admin/admin123, then change it in Settings, My account. - A reinstall stays activated — the licence is mirrored alongside your data and reapplies itself.
What a demo looks like
A working session, not a sales pitch. Bring your menu, your questions and, if you have one, your current system's export. We will use the time to find out whether this fits, including the parts where it might not.
Thirty minutes, on your modules
The app changes its sidebar to match your business nature, so we only walk through what you would actually see. A restaurant gets inventory, recipes, POS and tables; a contracting business gets projects and progress billing instead.
Your own menu on the till
We load a handful of your real items and ring them through the POS terminal, then open a table on the floor plan and take it to a bill. You see your prices, your VAT extracted from the ticket rather than added to it, and your kitchen ticket.
A straight answer on ZATCA and migration
What the e-invoicing module prepares, what still needs a CSID from ZATCA, and exactly what happens to your existing data. If your current system's export is awkward, we will say so in the session rather than after you have paid.
Common questions about getting in touch
How quickly do you reply?
Within one business day, and the same day if you hold a Multi-branch licence. Support hours are Sunday to Thursday, 9:00–18:00 AST, so anything sent on a Friday or Saturday is picked up on Sunday morning.
If your message is about an activation code, include your machine code and we can usually reply with the code itself rather than a request for more information.
Do you do on-site installation?
Yes, quoted per city. It is a separate add-on rather than part of the licence price, because the cost depends entirely on where you are and how many machines are involved.
Most installations do not need it. The application is a normal desktop install with an activation step, and a remote setup session is included with the Restaurant and Multi-branch licences.
Can you bring my old data in?
Opening balances and bulk invoices, yes — the application has a CSV/paste importer that parses lines into vouchers, previews them before anything posts, and adds them on top of what is already in the ledger rather than replacing it.
If you are coming from a different system entirely, tell us what it is and what it can export. Migration help is included with the Multi-branch licence; on other licences we will look at your export and quote honestly, including telling you when it is not worth it.
Do you support Arabic?
The product is built for Saudi Arabia, and this website has an Arabic page. Arabic text is handled throughout — the interface uses a font stack that includes Noto Sans Arabic and Segoe UI Arabic, and Arabic names for customers, products and menu items work as you would expect.
We will not overclaim here: the application interface itself is in English. If a fully Arabic interface is a requirement for your team rather than a preference, say so in your message and we will tell you plainly where things stand before you buy.
