Free restaurant POS software in Nepal: what you get without paying
Free restaurant POS software for Nepal: NPR bills, QR table orders, KOT and kitchen display on a free plan, and when an NPR paid plan makes sense.

Many restaurants and cafes in Nepal still run on handwritten orders and a calculator at the counter. Free POS software can help, but only if it handles a full service in NPR: the order, the kitchen ticket, the bill and the payment record. Check that before you look at anything else.
What the Free plan covers
GiveMyMenu’s Free plan has no expiry date and does not need a card, eSewa or Khalti to start. It includes the menu with NPR prices, the counter POS, guest QR ordering from each table, the kitchen display and KOT and receipt print views. It also includes payment recording and staff roles. At the time of writing it covers one location, up to 10 tables or rooms, and 2 staff accounts including the owner.
Set the currency first
Set the location currency to NPR before you enter the menu, then check one bill on a phone. Add tax and service charge settings that match the bill you give guests. Do not treat a software bill as proof of tax-system approval; ask for evidence if your business needs it.
Test KOT with your own kitchen
Place a mixed order, for example momo from the kitchen and drinks from the bar. Check that each station sees its own items on the kitchen display. If you want paper KOTs, print one through the browser on your own printer and check the paper width. KOT print views are included on the Free plan.
What the Free plan does not include
Table and room PIN protection, inventory, restaurant branding, detailed reports and guest reviews start on paid plans. Paid plans also allow more locations, tables and staff. Guest payments are recorded as cash or external card terminal. The app does not charge guests through eSewa, Khalti or Fonepay.
Try paid features before paying
Every new account gets Pro features for a set period, starting when you add your first venue. At launch that is 90 days. Use it to test PINs, inventory and reports during real service. If you then need a paid plan, NPR prices are listed on the Nepal pricing page and can be paid through eSewa or Khalti.
Try it with your restaurant menu
Set up a few dishes and follow an order through to the kitchen and bill.
