Keep eTIMS close to the sale—not in a separate billing process

For Kenyan restaurants and hospitality businesses, tax-document workflows need to fit around real sales, payments and customer invoices. Menulyn includes eTIMS integration points so configured businesses can keep those records connected to the operational sale.

Restaurant eTIMS receipt and invoice workflow in Kenya
Why it matters

The workflow matters as much as the feature

When tax invoices are recreated outside the POS, operators can end up reconciling two versions of the same transaction. Keeping eTIMS workflows connected to the sale reduces duplicate entry and gives the business one operational source record to trace.

Implemented capabilities

What Menulyn includes for eTIMS Integration

These capabilities are part of the Menulyn operational feature set and are designed to work with the surrounding sales, stock, staff and reporting records.

Sales-linked Tax Workflow

Keep the eTIMS process associated with the underlying Menulyn sale.

Receipts & Invoices

Use restaurant receipt and invoice workflows as the operational basis for tax documentation.

Business Configuration

Enable eTIMS only for businesses that have the required integration configuration.

Customer Billing Context

Keep customer and invoice information tied to the same sale record used operationally.

Payment Context

Preserve payment and due information around the invoice rather than creating a disconnected tax record.

Credit/Correction Context

Keep subsequent sale correction workflows tied to the originating transaction where supported.

Permissions

Use Menulyn user permissions around sales and invoicing operations.

Reporting Trail

Retain the Menulyn sale and invoice history for operational reporting and reconciliation.

Connected workflow

How the operational record moves

Menulyn is designed around connected records, so each step has context from the step before it.

01

Create the sale/invoice

Record the real restaurant transaction in Menulyn.

02

Apply business tax configuration

Use the configured eTIMS integration for the business when enabled.

03

Process the tax document

04

Retain the operational trail

Reconcile the tax document against payment, customer and Menulyn reporting records.

Package fit

Know where this capability sits

eTIMS availability depends on business configuration and integration setup rather than the specialist Services/Accommodation package gates. See the current package page for subscription limits and contact Menulyn for eTIMS onboarding requirements.

Questions

Common questions about eTIMS Integration

Does Menulyn support KRA eTIMS workflows?

Yes. Menulyn includes eTIMS integration workflows for businesses that have configured the required settings.

Is eTIMS separate from the restaurant POS?

The goal is the opposite: Menulyn keeps eTIMS processing connected to the underlying sale, invoice and receipt workflow.

Can every business use eTIMS immediately?

The business must have the required eTIMS integration configuration. The feature is enabled when those settings are available.
