The challenge
Most POS software is built for other markets. Nepali restaurants need VAT bills, Fonepay, khata (credit ledgers), Nepali digits and a system that keeps working when the internet drops.
What I built
- POS, kitchen display with ticket timing, table plans, VAT billing, shifts, cash counts and day lock.
- Ledger-based inventory with recipes, cost per portion, wastage and same-weekday demand forecasts.
- AI capture: a photo of a supplier bill becomes a purchase draft with validators, fuzzy item and supplier matching and confidence scores.
- Voice orders (rules first, AI only when unsure) and a nightly bilingual summary checked against the real numbers.
- Print Bridge, an Electron desktop app that finds USB and network thermal printers and prints bills and KOTs from the browser.
- An AI gateway with quotas, caching and a circuit breaker, so AI cost and outages never stop service.
