Restaurant POS Software in Karachi
MezbanPOS is a restaurant POS and management system built in Pakistan for restaurants, cafés, takeaways and dhabas. In Karachi it keeps billing running on your local Wi-Fi when the internet or power drops, handles dine-in, takeaway and delivery in one place, and costs the same per location as everywhere else in the country.

What a Karachi restaurant needs from a POS
1. Billing that keeps going through outages
Power cuts and patchy internet are part of running a restaurant in Karachi, and they tend to hit at the worst time: a full dining hall on a summer evening. If your POS needs the internet to print a bill, the queue stops. The MezbanPOS Pro desktop app runs on your restaurant's local Wi-Fi, so the counter, the kitchen display and the day's reports keep working with no internet. Orders sync to your cloud dashboard when the connection returns.
One practical tip: put the POS computer and the router on a UPS. The software can run offline, but only if the local network stays powered.
2. Sindh sales tax, collected by SRB
Restaurant bills in Karachi carry Sindh sales tax on services. It is collected by the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB), not by PRA (that's Punjab) or FBR. The standard Sindh rate on services is 15%, and SRB has applied a lower rate to card and mobile-wallet payments at many restaurants, with exceptions for some. The rules have changed several times, so check the rate that applies to your restaurant with SRB or your tax adviser before you set up any POS.
Whatever system you use, ask the vendor to show you three things in a demo: how the tax rate is chosen at payment time, how a split cash-and-card bill is taxed, and what the printed invoice looks like. If you are also registered with FBR, MezbanPOS offers FBR invoice integration as a paid add-on.
3. One system for dine-in, takeaway and delivery
Many Karachi restaurants run all three at once: tables inside, a takeaway counter at the front, and riders waiting for delivery orders. MezbanPOS bills all three from the same screen, sends each order to the kitchen display with a sound alert, and keeps them in one end-of-day report, exportable to CSV or PDF.
4. Delivery without the commission
Delivery apps bring orders but take a cut of every one. The MezbanPOS Online Ordering add-on lets customers order from your own link for Rs 12,000 a month flat, with zero per-order commission, and the orders land in the same POS as everything else. See online ordering.

Who collects sales tax on restaurant bills in Karachi?
Restaurant bills in Karachi carry Sindh sales tax on services, collected by the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB), not PRA or FBR. SRB sets the rates and the invoicing rules, which have changed several times, so confirm the current rate for your restaurant with SRB or your tax adviser.
Will billing stop during a power cut or internet outage?
No. The MezbanPOS Pro desktop app runs on your restaurant's local Wi-Fi, so counters, the kitchen display and reports keep working without internet. Orders sync to the cloud dashboard when the connection returns. Keep the POS computer and router on a UPS so the local network stays up during load-shedding.
Can I run several counters and a kitchen screen?
Yes. You can add multiple billing terminals over your Wi-Fi with no per-terminal fee, plus a kitchen display with sound alerts for new orders.
Can I take my own delivery orders without paying commission?
Yes. The Online Ordering add-on is Rs 12,000 per month flat with zero per-order commission, and orders arrive in the same POS as your dine-in and takeaway bills.
