Tivuzo does this in the browser, handles VAT (standard rate 15%) per room type, meal plan and item, keeps the restaurant and bar tills selling offline, and costs $13 per user per month with a 14-day free trial. | | Tivuzo in Ethiopia | |---|---| | Currency | ETB (Ethiopian birr): rates, folios, stock value and reports; other currencies for agents and suppliers | | Payments | Telebirr, M-Pesa, bank transfer, card and cash, each with its own journal and reference | | Tax | VAT per room type, meal plan and item (standard rate 15%); tax-included rates supported | | Accounting | A chart of accounts suited to Ethiopia where available, plus profit and loss, balance sheet, ledgers and a VAT report | | Internet | Restaurant and bar tills keep selling offline; the rest works on mobile data | | Where | Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Gondar, Lalibela, Hawassa, Bishoftu and the Simien and Bale mountains | | Price | $13 per user per month, or $124.80 per user per year | ## The market in Ethiopia Hospitality in Ethiopia is Addis Ababa's large conference and business hotel market, historic-circuit hotels and lakeside resorts. Across all of them, independent properties face the same back-office problems: bookings in one place, the bar and kitchen in another, stores in a notebook and the accounts typed up at month-end. With one system, every room night, bar bill, delivery and telebirr payment lands in the books as it happens, and the owner reads occupancy, revenue and costs from a phone. ## What you get ### Front desk and planner Reservations, agents and companies, seasons, check-in and check-out. ### Folios and billing Room to the company or agent, extras to the guest, telebirr on the bill. ### Restaurant and bar Tables, charge to room, offline tills. ### Procurement Purchase orders with lead times, bills matched to deliveries. ### Stores Main, kitchen, bar and housekeeping stores with counts. ### Accounts in ETB VAT, bank and mobile money matching, departmental profit and loss. ## By type of property in Ethiopia - [**Conference Hotel Software in Ethiopia** Software for conference hotels in Ethiopia, from Addis Ababa: bookings, folios, stores, procurement and accounts in ETB, with telebirr.](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-software/ethiopia/conference-hotels/) - [**Hotel Management Software in Ethiopia** Software for hotels in Ethiopia, from Addis Ababa: bookings, folios, stores, procurement and accounts in ETB, with telebirr.](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-software/ethiopia/hotels/) - [**Guest House Software in Ethiopia** Software for guest houses and B&Bs in Ethiopia, from Addis Ababa: bookings, folios, stores, procurement and accounts in ETB, with telebirr.](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-software/ethiopia/guest-houses/) ## VAT, levies and tax systems Tivuzo applies VAT as you set it on each room type, meal plan and item and keeps a VAT report by period. Tourism or local levies can be set up as their own taxes or charges so they show separately on the folio and in the accounts. Ethiopian sales registration machines and e-invoicing are not built into Tivuzo yet. Keep your registered machine for tax receipts and ask us about your setup.

Rates and rules change: confirm your obligations with the tax authority or your accountant. ## Licensing and guest records Accommodation businesses in Ethiopia deal with licensing and standards set by the national tourism authority and local authorities. Tivuzo keeps clear records of every stay, guest and payment, including guest ID details captured at check-in and printable registration cards, which makes inspections and guest-register requests quicker. Always follow the authorities' requirements for your property. ## Getting started in Ethiopia Request a free trial and the Tivuzo team sets up your database in ETB with your property name, rooms and rates; we help you load your stores items and opening balances during the trial.
