Best Restaurant and Cafe Management Software in Nepal, Ranked

Billing software is usually the last thing on the opening checklist, after the registration, PAN and food licence. It is also the thing your staff touch on every single order, so a poor choice costs you every service, not once. This guide ranks eight restaurant and cafe systems sold in Nepal, with their published prices in NPR, and is explicit about how the order was decided so you can re-rank them for your own place.

How We Ranked Them

A ranking is only as honest as its criteria. These are the four we weighted, because they decide whether a typical single cafe or restaurant in Nepal actually uses the software every day:

1. Easy for staff and owners, on any device. A clean, modern screen that a new waiter can use on day one and an owner can read at a glance, on a phone, a tablet or the counter PC, so you are not buying special POS hardware.
2. Kitchen printing that does not depend on the cafe’s Wi-Fi. In Nepal the router drops, staff phones sit on mobile data, and a power cut resets the router. The KOT should still reach the kitchen printer.
3. A free public page for the cafe that Google indexes. People search a cafe’s name before they visit. A page with the live menu that shows up in that search is free marketing.
4. Transparent, published pricing. You should be able to compare costs from the vendor’s own site without a sales call.

We deliberately did not weight full accounting books inside the POS, several branches, a free-forever plan, offline mode, guest self-ordering or delivery. Each of those matters a lot to some owners, and if one of them is your priority the order changes: see who should pick something else.

Below first place, the order reflects how clearly each vendor publishes its price and trial terms and how directly its plans fit a single cafe or restaurant. We did not run side-by-side printing tests on every vendor, so the checklist further down tells you how to test that yourself during a trial.

The Ranking at a Glance

1. TableSathi: Best Overall for Cafes and Restaurants

TableSathi is cafe and restaurant software built for Nepal. It takes first place because it is the strongest on all four criteria at once: staff and owners use it on whatever device is at hand, the kitchen ticket prints even when the waiter is not on the cafe’s Wi-Fi, every cafe gets a free menu page that Google indexes, and the prices are on its website.

Easy for staff and owners, on a phone, tablet or PC

TableSathi runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, PC or Mac, and there is an Android app as well. It can also be installed from the browser as a web app, so it sits on the home screen like any other app. The same clean screens work on every size: large touch targets on a phone, more room on a tablet or PC, and four themes including a dark one for a dim dining room.

In practice each person uses whatever suits their job. A waiter takes orders on their own phone, the cashier bills on a tablet or the counter PC, the kitchen watches tickets on a tablet or screen, and the owner checks the day’s sales on their phone from home. Staff permissions mean each of them sees only their part, so nobody has to learn screens they do not use. You do not need to buy a handset for every section or a dedicated POS terminal.

Kitchen printing that does not need the cafe’s Wi-Fi

This is the feature that most often decides whether a busy service goes smoothly. In TableSathi, an order goes through a cloud print queue to a small print agent on a Windows or Linux PC at the cafe, which drives the printer. The waiter’s phone does not have to be on the same network as the printer, so a waiter on mobile data still prints the KOT in the kitchen.

• KOT and BOT routing: food tickets go to the kitchen printer and drinks to the bar printer automatically, set up per station.
• Void and reduced-quantity slips print at the station that made the original ticket, so the kitchen knows to stop.
• Nepali item names (Devanagari) print correctly on the ticket.
• Kitchen display as well as paper, or instead of it.
• A ticket that could not print in time is not printed hours late, so the kitchen is not handed a stale order long after the guest gave it.
• Printer: TableSathi supplies a thermal printer for NPR 12,000, or you can bring your own ESC/POS 80mm or 58mm printer.

A free page for your cafe on Google

Every cafe on TableSathi gets a free public page at tablesathi.com/your-cafe-name with its live menu. The page is listed in the tablesathi.com/cafes directory, carries Restaurant and Menu structured data, and is in the sitemap, so it shows up in Google when people search the cafe’s name. The QR menu on your tables points to the same page, and when you change a price or add a dish, the page shows it immediately. For a new cafe without a website, that is a real head start.

Listing is your choice. A cafe that would rather stay private can be unlisted: the page and the QR menu keep working for guests at the table, but the cafe leaves the directory and the sitemap, and search engines are asked not to index it.

Prices on the page, not on request

The free trial lasts 7 days and is started on WhatsApp. If you are moving from an old system, TableSathi migrates your data free of charge. Prices are listed on tablesathi.com/pricing.

At the counter

• PAN and VAT bills with fiscal-year invoice numbering and Bikram Sambat dates, plus credit notes when a bill has to be corrected.
• Discounts, and a takeaway counter with several bills open at once.
• Move a table or swap two tables mid-service.
• Cash or mobile wallet, with the cafe’s own payment QR shown on the billing screen for the customer to scan.
• TableSathi is IRD-enlisted, and files invoices and credit notes to the IRD’s CBMS for cafes that need it; this is set up per cafe.

Your team and your numbers

• Staff permissions with ready presets for Waiter, Cook, Cashier and Manager.
• An activity log showing what was voided and by whom.
• Sales analytics: revenue over time, average bill and your busiest hours.
• Notifications for new orders and when food is ready.
• Customer records with visits, spend, PAN and address, so you know your regulars by phone number.
• A customer rewards programme for cafes that want one, set up by the TableSathi team to the cafe’s own rules.

Stock control on the Standard plan

Recipes deduct stock on every sale, so you see the cost per plate and the profit per dish. Low-stock alerts warn you before you run out, purchases are recorded against suppliers with their input VAT, and wastage, spillage and stock counts are logged.

For your accountant

The sales register and purchase register for a Bikram Sambat tax period, and the filing report for a fiscal year, export to Excel, ready to hand to your accountant.

What TableSathi does not do

So you can judge the fit honestly: TableSathi does not keep full double-entry books (day book, profit and loss with expenses, supplier dues or a balance sheet). It has no guest self-ordering or online payment, no delivery or reservations, and it does not run several branches. It has no offline mode and no iPhone App Store app (iPhones use it in the browser). Bills cannot be split or merged, and there is no “on account” credit payment. If any of these is essential, look at the alternatives below.

2. RestroX: Longest Feature List, with a Free Plan

RestroX publishes the broadest set of features of any vendor here, laid out as tiers. The Free plan covers up to 100 dishes and 10 tables. Basic (NPR 12,000/year) adds QR menu ordering, KOT/BOT and dine-in plus delivery orders. Premium (NPR 24,000/year, listed at NPR 30,000) adds inventory, an accounting system, CRM and loyalty points, an online delivery portal and takeaway, pickup and reservations. Platinum (NPR 60,000/year) adds multi-outlet, an online ordering portal and multi-location inventory, and Enterprise is quoted. All plans include a 14-day free trial, and there are apps for iOS and Android. RestroX also sells hardware, including an xPrinter TQ-80 at NPR 12,500.

Pick it if guests ordering from a QR code at the table, delivery or loyalty points are central to your plan.

3. NRestro: Best If You Want the Accounts in the POS

NRestro, made by Makalu Software in Banepa, is the vendor here that headlines double-entry accounting: day book, cash and bank book, profit and loss, cost of goods sold and vendor dues. It is also the one that headlines Fonepay dynamic QR payments (on the Business Growth plan). Starter costs NPR 10,000/year and Business Growth NPR 15,000/year (regular price NPR 24,000), with Enterprise priced on request. It offers QR self-ordering, multiple branches on every plan, an Android app and a one-month trial.

Pick it if you want your books kept inside the same system as your billing, or you run more than one outlet.

4. Misey: Best Free Starting Point

Misey has a free-forever plan, then Starter at NPR 799/month, Growth at NPR 1,999/month and Pro at NPR 3,499/month, with custom plans above that. QR and online ordering start on Starter; payments, finance, loyalty and reservations come with Growth. Locations scale from up to 3, then 5, then 10 as you move up the plans, and it advertises offline order capture.

Pick it if you want to start at zero cost and upgrade later.

5. SajhaServe: Best for Patchy Internet

SajhaServe, by Vertex Lab, is built offline-first on Android. Standard costs NPR 400/month, Pro NPR 700/month and Enterprise (which adds hotel features) NPR 900/month. It offers QR ordering, a guest ordering website, expense tracking and hotel bookings, and the 15-day trial includes every feature.

Pick it if your internet is unreliable enough that you need orders to keep working with no connection, or you also run rooms.

6. Hamro SAN: Low Monthly Fee with Accounting

Hamro SAN, from SAN Solution Nepal, starts with Silver at NPR 599/month. Gold is NPR 999/month plus a one-time registration fee of NPR 7,500, and Platinum NPR 1,199/month plus NPR 14,500 one-time. Gold and above add a QR menu and multiple branches, and the system includes accounting with receivables and payables. Its offer is “Start Free. Pay Later.” Count the one-time fee when you compare its first-year cost with yearly plans elsewhere.

Pick it if you want a low monthly payment and accounting in one place.

7. Restronp: Lowest Published Yearly Price

Restronp has the lowest published yearly price in this list: Basic NPR 6,000/year, Premium NPR 12,000/year and Platinum NPR 24,000/year. It offers QR ordering, reservations and an online delivery portal from Premium. Its FAQ says multiple branches are supported, with availability that may vary by plan. A free trial is offered, but its length is not stated, so ask before you start.

Pick it if first-year cost is the deciding factor.

8. Tigg: For Owners Already Keeping Books in Tigg

Tigg is an accounting suite first. Basic costs NPR 15,000/year and Standard NPR 20,000/year; the Professional plan at NPR 32,000/year is the one that includes the POS for retail and restaurants. Three-year and lifetime options are also listed, it supports multiple stores, and the trial is 15 days (the pricing page also says 14). It ranks last here only because a single cafe pays for a full accounting suite to get the POS.

Pick it if your accountant already keeps your books in Tigg and you want the restaurant in the same system.

Who Should Pick Something Else

TableSathi is our first choice for a typical cafe or restaurant, but it is not the right tool for every owner. Go elsewhere if:

• You want full accounting books inside the POS (day book, P&L, vendor dues): NRestro or Tigg.
• You run several branches: RestroX Platinum or NRestro.
• You need a free plan: RestroX or Misey.
• You need the system to work offline: SajhaServe, or NitiERP, a modular ERP that describes itself as “offline ready” and offers a 14-day trial.
• You want guests to order from a QR code, or you deliver: RestroX.

How to Choose: Test These During the Trial

A feature list tells you what a vendor says. A trial tells you what your staff will live with. Before you pay for any of these, do the following:

Register First, Then Pick the Software

The software prints your PAN or VAT number on every bill, so the business has to exist first. Our step-by-step guide to registering a cafe or restaurant in Nepal covers the firm or company, PAN and VAT, the ward office, the food licence and the liquor licence. If you are still deciding the structure, see sole proprietorship registration or Pvt. Ltd. company registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best restaurant management software in Nepal?

On the criteria in this guide (ease of use on staff phones, kitchen printing that works without the cafe’s Wi-Fi, a free public menu page on Google, and published prices), TableSathi ranks first for a single cafe or restaurant. If you need full accounting books, several branches, a free plan, offline mode or guest QR ordering, NRestro, RestroX, Misey or SajhaServe may fit better.

How much does restaurant POS software cost in Nepal?

Published prices in November 2026 run from free plans (RestroX and Misey) and NPR 400/month (SajhaServe) up to NPR 60,000/year for RestroX Platinum, with enterprise plans quoted separately. TableSathi costs NPR 14,999/year or NPR 1,500/month on Basic, and NPR 22,999/year or NPR 2,200/month on Standard with inventory. Add a thermal printer, about NPR 12,000.

Is there free restaurant software in Nepal?

Yes. RestroX has a free plan limited to 100 dishes and 10 tables, and Misey has a free-forever tier. TableSathi has no free plan, but offers a 7-day free trial started on WhatsApp.

Can a waiter print a KOT without being on the cafe’s Wi-Fi?

With TableSathi, yes. Orders go through a cloud print queue to a small print agent on a Windows or Linux PC at the cafe, so a waiter on mobile data still prints the KOT in the kitchen. With any other system, test it during the trial by turning off Wi-Fi on a phone and placing an order.

Do I need a special printer for KOT and bills?

A standard thermal receipt printer is enough. TableSathi supplies one for NPR 12,000, or works with your own ESC/POS printer in 80mm or 58mm. RestroX also sells printers, such as an xPrinter TQ-80 at NPR 12,500.

Which restaurant software in Nepal works offline?

SajhaServe is built offline-first on Android, NitiERP describes itself as offline ready, and Misey advertises offline order capture. TableSathi does not have an offline mode; it needs an internet connection on the phone (Wi-Fi or mobile data) and at the print PC.

Can I move my menu and data from my old software?

TableSathi migrates data from an old system free of charge. For other vendors, ask during the trial whether they import your menu and customer list, and whether they charge for it.
