Running a small business in a bustling city like Dubai comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to managing various operational aspects efficiently. Ahmad Al Kadri, co-founder of Vibrissae Cat Café, experienced these challenges firsthand before discovering the transformative power of Odoo. Here’s how Odoo helped streamline and elevate the operations of his café.
A Business Born from Passion: Vibrissae Cat Café was founded out of Ahmad’s love for cats and his desire to create a unique space where Dubai’s busy residents could unwind and connect with these furry companions. However, like many small businesses, the café had to deal with operational complexities that required flexibility and adaptability. From managing reservations to point-of-sale transactions and accounting, multiple systems were in place, creating inefficiencies.
The Challenge of Using Multiple Systems: One of the biggest hurdles Ahmad faced was the manual effort needed to transfer sales data between different programs. His old system required him to separately manage reservations, accounting, and point of sale—each function using different software. Not only did this add unnecessary complexity, but it also increased costs and created potential for errors.
The Solution: Odoo’s All-in-One System: Ahmad found the perfect solution in Odoo. By adopting Odoo’s software, Vibrissae Cat Café was able to consolidate all of its systems into one simple, user-friendly platform. The fully integrated accounting system allowed for real-time data transfer, eliminating the need for manual data entry or expensive additional software. Whether it was tracking financial performance or managing day-to-day operations, Odoo offered a seamless experience.
Customizable and Easy to Use: Odoo’s flexibility proved invaluable to the café. Ahmad and his team were able to design their point of sale exactly as they wanted, set up a website without external help, and easily manage accounting and reservations. Odoo’s back-end interface is simple enough to allow quick adjustments to menus and services, all of which are instantly reflected across the entire system. No more relying on third-party designers to make small changes—the team could now do it themselves.
The Impact on Operations: Since implementing Odoo, the café has seen a dramatic improvement in how it manages day-to-day operations. Real-time updates, ease of use, and the ability to customize every aspect of the system have saved time and allowed the team to focus more on delivering a great experience for their customers. Ahmad emphasizes how easy it is to navigate the system, making Odoo the perfect tool for small and medium-sized businesses.
For Vibrissae Cat Café, Odoo has been a game-changer. By simplifying their operations and bringing all necessary functions under one roof, Ahmad and his team can now run their business more efficiently. Whether it’s changing the menu with a click of a button or tracking sales and accounting in real-time, Odoo has provided them with the tools to thrive in a competitive market. In Ahmad’s words, “It’s very simple. It’s designed especially for us.”
