Kitchen and bar screens
Food tickets go to the kitchen, drinks to the bar. Cooks tap started and ready, so waiters stop asking and you can see how long each dish took.

Made for here
Built for a busy counter in Nepal.
Not a foreign till with a VAT box bolted on. Chautari starts from IRD bills, Bikram Sambat and the way a Kathmandu kitchen really works.
Keeps billing when the line is down
The till keeps its own copy of the menu and carries on. Everything catches up, in order, when the internet is back.
IRD bills, ready for CBMS
Your PAN on every bill, gap-free numbers for each fiscal year, and a queue that holds bills until the line is back.
Order from the table
Guests scan the table QR, pick from a menu with photos and send the order. A waiter accepts it on the till and the kitchen gets the ticket.
Scan and sell
A quick counter screen for shops. Each beep is a sale, and the item comes off your stock.
Bikram Sambat built in
Reports, registers and the fiscal year run on BS dates, with the English date beside them.
नेपाली and English
Switch any screen between Nepali and English. Same order, same bill, whoever is reading.
One system, whatever you run
A momo shop, a lakeside guest house, or both.
Turn on what you run: restaurant, hotel, shop, or all three under one roof. They share one set of books.
Tables, kitchen and bar in step.
- Dine-in, takeaway, pickup and delivery from one screen
- Orders print or show in the kitchen and bar as tickets
- Split the bill, merge tables, move guests
- Guests order from a QR code on the table
Every room, every night, at a glance.
- Bookings, check-in, check-out and housekeeping
- Rate plans with seasonal prices
- Restaurant bills and room service go on the folio
- One IRD bill at check-out
Scan, sell, and the shelf knows.
- Scan barcodes at a fast counter screen
- Stock comes down with every sale
- Purchase orders, goods received and supplier bills
- Reorder levels warn you before a shelf is empty
Books that are done before your accountant asks.
- Every bill lands in double-entry books by itself
- Day book, ledger, trial balance, balance sheet
- Sales and purchase registers, VAT return, TDS
- Export for Tally, or as CSV and PDF
Offline first
Friday, 8 pm. The internet goes. Billing doesn’t.
The till keeps its own copy of the menu, prices and tables, so orders, kitchen tickets and bills carry on. When the line comes back, everything goes up in the order it happened, with the bill numbers already printed. Printers on your own network never stop.
- Router drops. The status bar says Offline.
- Table 4 orders. The ticket prints in the kitchen.
- Table 4 pays cash. Bill printed, drawer counted.
- Back online. Everything synced and in the books.
Nepal compliance
Bills the tax office will recognise.
- IRD format
- Tax invoices with your PAN, the buyer’s PAN when given, and gap-free numbers per fiscal year.
- CBMS
- Built to send each bill to IRD’s central billing system as it’s issued, with a queue for when the line is down.
- VAT 13%
- Worked out for you on every line, never typed by hand. Exempt items stay exempt.
- Registers & return
- Sales and purchase registers and the VAT return, by BS month, ready to file.
Table to kitchen to books
One order, four places, no shouting.
The order is taken once. The kitchen, the bar and the cashier all see it, and the books are done before the plates are cleared.
- OrderAt the till, or by the guest from the table QR. The order is saved on the device first.
- Kitchen & barTickets on screen or on the station’s printer. Started, ready, served.
- Bill & paySplit, merge or move tables. Cash, card or QR, with the next gap-free bill number.
- In the booksSales, VAT and stock posted. Recipes take out the flour, mince and onion.
Hotels & guest houses
A front desk that talks to the kitchen.
Arrivals, guests in house and departures on one page. Dinner, laundry and room service go on the guest’s folio, and check-out turns it into one IRD bill.
- Room service from a QR code in the room: the guest confirms the surname on the booking and orders
- Housekeeping states for every room
- Guest register, occupancy report, encrypted ID numbers
Shops & stock
Know what’s on the shelf without counting it.
Every sale takes stock down and every delivery puts it back. A purchase order turns into goods received, then a supplier bill, and the books follow along.
- Barcodes, units and reorder levels
- Stock takes and adjustments with a reason
- Stock value on the balance sheet, always current
Accounting & reports
Proper books, kept as you sell.
Every sale, purchase and expense lands in double-entry books that always balance. Your accountant starts from numbers that already agree.
- Day bookEvery voucher of the day, and how cash and bank moved.
- Ledger & trial balanceBalances that always agree.
- Receivables & payablesWho owes you, whom you owe, and how long for.
- Bank reconciliationMatch the statement line by line.
- Cash drawers & day closeCount the till, see the difference, close the day.
- ExportsTally, Xero, QuickBooks, CSV and PDF.
Payments
However your guests pay, the books match.
Every bill records how it was paid. At day close, the drawer, the wallets and the books show exactly what came in.
- Cash Counted into the drawer, with the difference shown at day close.
- Card Taken on your bank’s terminal and recorded against the bill.
- eSewa Guests scan your QR at the counter; the bill records the method.
- Khalti Kept apart from cash, so the drawer count is never off by a wallet payment.
- Fonepay Bank QR payments recorded against the bill like any other method.
- Charge to room Hotel guests sign the bill to their folio and pay at check-out.
Security & your data
Your numbers are yours alone.
You can view and download your data any time. Here is how we look after it.
Each business walled off
Every row carries its business, and the database itself refuses to show it to anyone else.
Copied off-site every minute
Your data is copied to a separate site at least once a minute, and we test a full restore every month.
Sign-in you can trust
Strong password hashing, optional two-step sign-in, and a PIN for each person on the till.
Each person sees their part
Cashiers bill, managers approve voids, owners see the books. Each branch sees only its own.
Nothing quietly changed
Bills and vouchers are never edited after the fact. Corrections are credit notes and reversals, with an audit log.
Meant to stay in Nepal
Chautari is built to run on servers in Nepal, so your sales and guest data can stay in the country.

[email protected]Waiter and manager apps
Phone apps for Android and iPhone are being built: waiters take orders at the table, owners see the day from anywhere.
What happens when the internet goes down?
The till keeps taking orders, printing kitchen tickets and printing bills, with real bill numbers it set aside earlier. Everything waits on the device and goes up in order when the line is back. Wallet payments and day close wait until you are online.
Are the bills accepted by IRD?
Bills follow the IRD tax invoice format: your PAN, gap-free numbers for each fiscal year and Bikram Sambat dates. Chautari is built to send them to CBMS. Registering the software with IRD is still done in your business’s name.
Do I need special hardware?
No. Chautari runs in the browser on the laptop, tablet or desktop you already have. Receipt and kitchen printers on your network connect through a small print agent, which keeps printing when the internet is down.
Can I take eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay?
Yes. Guests pay with your own eSewa, Khalti or Fonepay QR, and the cashier records the method on the bill. The drawer, day close and books then show exactly what came in by QR, card or cash.
Is there a Nepali version?
Yes. Anyone can switch the screens to Nepali, and reports show Bikram Sambat dates with the English date beside them.
I have more than one branch.
Each branch gets its own floor, stock and cash drawers. You see them side by side in reports, and the books add them up for you.
Who can see my sales?
Only the people you add, and only what their role allows. The database itself keeps every business apart, and you can download your data whenever you like.
What does it cost?
The first 15 days are free, with Pro features on, one branch and two tills, and no card. When you are ready, plans and prices with VAT are shown inside the app.
What is the Founding 100 offer?
The first 100 businesses to sign up get the Growth plan free for 3 months for their first outlet. You do not need a code: it applies when you sign up while spots last. Extra outlets and add-ons are billed at normal rates, and after the free months Growth continues at its normal monthly price unless you change plan.
