DevPOS
Restaurant Management Software in Pakistan — Complete Guide
> Short answer: Restaurant software in Pakistan needs table management, KOT (kitchen order tickets), fast billing during rush hours, and daily sale reports. Expect Rs 2,000–5,000/month; DevPOS does it for Rs 1,999/month with a 15-day free trial and Urdu receipts.
From a Karachi BBQ house to a Lahore cafe to a roadside dhaba, Pakistani restaurants share the same rush-hour problem: orders fly in, the kitchen loses track, and the bill at the end doesn't match what was served. Restaurant management software fixes exactly this.
The core modules
- Table management — visual table map: free, occupied, billed
- KOT (Kitchen Order Tickets) — every order prints to the kitchen in writing
- Menu billing — categories, variants, add-ons, deals
- Takeaway & delivery — tokens and rider assignment alongside dine-in
- Food costing — recipe-based cost per dish vs menu price
Why KOT matters most
KOT is the single highest-value feature. When a waiter shouts an order across a noisy kitchen, items get missed. A printed kitchen ticket means the tandoor, BBQ and karahi stations each see exactly what to fire. Missed items drop to near zero.

What does it cost?
Restaurant software in Pakistan ranges from Rs 3,000 to Rs 10,000+ per month. DevPOS is Rs 1,999/month (Rs 19,999/year) on the Professional plan with a 15-day free trial — tables, KOT, delivery and food costing included.
Food costing: price your menu on facts
Each dish links to its recipe — chicken, oil, spices, gas. The software computes true food cost per plate. If your chicken karahi costs Rs 420 to make and sells at Rs 650, you know the margin before the menu prints. Most restaurants guess this number; the good ones measure it.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for dhabas? Yes — the same flow scales from a roadside dhaba to a multi-floor restaurant.
Can waiters take orders on phones? DevPOS is a web app that runs on tablets and phones for table-side ordering.
