Restaurant management software in Nepal: beyond the cash counter

What is restaurant management software?

Restaurant management software joins billing to everything that surrounds it: the kitchen, the store room, the staff roster and the owner's reports. One order entry updates the kitchen screen, the stock ledger, the shift takings and the day's sales figure at the same time.

How does inventory work in a restaurant?

Stock is held in a base unit — grams, millilitres, pieces — and every movement is written to a ledger: purchase, sale, wastage, transfer, adjustment. The quantity on hand is derived from that ledger, never typed in by hand, so any change has a reason attached to it.

Purchases arrive through a purchase order and a goods receipt, which also update the weighted average cost. Recipes connect each dish to its ingredients, so settling a bill deducts stock automatically. Wastage is entered with a reason. A stock count sheet compares system quantity to counted quantity and posts the variance.

How does staff management fit in?

Cashiers open a shift with a counted opening float and close it by declaring the cash in the drawer; the software shows the variance against expected cash sales and demands a written note when it is not zero. Staff clock in and out by PIN on the same terminal.

From that data you get hours worked per person per month, late and absent flags against the roster, sales per waiter, and a tip pool split by hours or by weight. Sensitive actions — voiding an item, applying a discount — require a PIN and record who authorised them.

What reports should an owner get?

Daily sales for any date range, sales by item and category, an hourly heatmap showing when you are actually busy, payment mode mix, a discount and void log with the authoriser's name, food cost percentage, and a consolidated view across every outlet.

Every one of those should export to Excel and print as a PDF carrying your property name, PAN number and address, because that is the format your accountant and the tax office expect.

Does it work for a hotel with a restaurant?

It should. The feature that matters is charging a restaurant bill to a guest's room folio: search in-house guests by room number or name, tap the name, and the bill settles against the folio and appears on the guest's final statement.

Namyloo includes reservations, a room calendar, check-in with passport or citizenship capture, housekeeping, folios and a night audit that posts room charges and rolls the business date.

What does it cost in Nepal?

Rs 500 to Rs 1,500 per month depending on outlet count, billed monthly or yearly, with every module included rather than sold separately.
