How to choose the best POS for your business in Pakistan.
A POS runs your counter every hour you're open, so the wrong one costs money every day. These are the ten questions that matter for restaurants, supermarkets and grocery stores in Pakistan — and how RestroOne answers them.
The ten-point checklist
2. It knows Pakistani tax
FBR and provincial rates, rates by payment method, NTN and STRN on invoices, and invoice reporting if you need it.
3. It takes local payments
Cash, card, Raast, JazzCash, Easypaisa, bank transfer, khata and split bills.
4. It fits your workflow
Kitchen screens and KOTs for restaurants; barcodes, scales and expiry for shops.
5. You can see it from your phone
Takings, profit and stock live — not a report you wait for at night.
6. It controls staff
Own logins, permissions, manager approvals for voids and discounts, fraud alerts.
7. It manages stock
Recipes or barcodes take stock off as you sell; purchase orders and supplier dues.
8. It runs on hardware you have
An ordinary PC, phones and thermal printers — not a locked, expensive terminal.
9. Your data is yours
Reports you can export to Excel, and a clear answer on where your data lives.
10. Real local support
Someone who answers on WhatsApp and understands how shops here work.
Questions to ask any POS company before you buy
Get every answer in writing, and ask to see it working rather than on slides. A good POS company will happily show you its software running a real menu or a real store.

What is the best POS system in Pakistan?
The best POS is the one that keeps billing when the internet drops, handles your tax authority's rates, takes local payments, fits your workflow (kitchen or barcode), and lets you see the business from your phone. RestroOne was built to meet all of these for restaurants, supermarkets and grocery stores.
