OrderTill

Take orders on WhatsApp. Keep selling when the internet drops.

A branded menu on your own domain, orders arriving as a normal WhatsApp message, and a till that finishes the sale and prints the receipt even with no connection at all.

For restaurants, bakeries and counter shops in Pakistan.

Two halves. Take one or both.

Sold separately or together, on one account.

The online menu

Your menu on your own domain. A customer browses, fills a cart and checks out. The order opens as a ready made message in the customer's own WhatsApp, addressed to your shop. Nothing to install, on either side.

How the menu works

The point of sale till

A till that runs in a browser on a cheap Android tablet or any desktop. It prints real thermal receipts and kitchen tickets, and it does not stop when the line does.

How the till works

When the lights go out, the till does not.

Each sale is written to the tablet and printed before the till tries to reach any server. Nothing waits on the network.

  1. Internet drops Load shedding, a dead uplink, an ISP outage.
  2. Sale completes Written to the tablet first, not to a server.
  3. Receipt prints Thermal bytes go straight to the printer.
  4. Queue drains Syncs when the line returns. No double charge.

What is actually different here

Six things this does that the desktop tills in this market do not.

  • Runs in a browser

    A cheap Android tablet or any desktop. No Windows licence, no dedicated point of sale hardware and no installer to run.

  • The sale finishes offline

    Every sale is written to the tablet and printed before any server is contacted. The queue drains when the line comes back.

  • Real thermal printing

    Receipts and kitchen tickets print straight to standard 58mm and 80mm printers over Bluetooth or USB-C.

  • Two tills cannot collide

    Each terminal issues its own receipt numbers, so two counters can both sell offline without ever making a duplicate.

  • Urdu on the kitchen ticket

    Item names print in Urdu where you have entered one, sent to the printer as an image because thermal printers have no Urdu characters.

  • You keep your own customers

    Orders reach your WhatsApp on your own domain. No marketplace sits in between and no commission is taken on an order.

Prints with no internet

The kitchen reads it in Urdu

Item names print in Urdu on the kitchen ticket wherever you have entered one. Urdu is sent to the printer as an image, because a thermal printer carries no Urdu characters of its own.

The same printer produces the customer receipt in English. Both go out as ESC/POS bytes over Bluetooth or USB-C, not through a browser print dialog.

More about the till

What it does not do

Worth reading before you buy. If one of these matters to your shop, this is not the right system and it is better to know now.

  • No online payment. Orders are placed here, money is taken at the counter or on delivery.
  • No FBR, PRA, SRB or GST integration. No tax fields and no fiscal invoice numbers.
  • No stock or inventory tracking.
  • No table management or floor plan.
  • No multi branch. One account manages one location.
  • No discounts, coupons or split payment.

Common questions

Does the till keep working when the internet goes down?

Yes. The till writes each sale to the tablet and prints the receipt before contacting any server, so a sale completes during load shedding or an ISP outage. The queue syncs later and cannot double charge.

Do customers need to install an app to order?

No. A customer opens the shop menu in a web browser, adds items to a cart, and the order opens as a prefilled message in that customer’s own WhatsApp. No app, no account and no download is involved.

How much does the online menu and till cost?

Setup and installation costs Rs 60,000 once. The online menu with WhatsApp ordering is then Rs 3,000 per month, and adding the point of sale till costs Rs 1,000 more per month.

Can customers pay online by card?

No. This system takes no online payment of any kind. An order is placed on the menu page and money is collected at the counter or on delivery. There is no card processing, no wallet and no payment gateway.

Is the system integrated with FBR or PRA for tax?

No. This system has no FBR, PRA, SRB or GST integration, no tax fields, no fiscal invoice numbers and no QR code on the receipt. A shop that needs fiscal reporting must handle that separately.

What hardware is needed to run the till?

The till runs in a web browser, so a cheap Android tablet or any desktop computer works. No Windows licence and no dedicated point of sale hardware is needed. Thermal printers connect over Bluetooth or USB-C.

Ask anything before you decide

Setup is done by hand, so the first step is a conversation, not a signup form.
