Egalla is restaurant POS software for Lahore restaurants that seat big families, run busy desi breakfast counters and stay open long after midnight. Waiters take table orders on their own Android phones, kitchen tickets (KOT) print instantly, and bills split by person or by dish in a few taps. The app works in Urdu and English, keeps billing offline when the connection drops, and sends your closing report to WhatsApp every night. Wherever you are in Lahore, we set you up remotely on WhatsApp or a phone call.
Lahore treats eating out as a family event. On a weekend night a single table might seat twelve people across three generations, ordering karahi, handi, naan and drinks in waves. That is as true of the restaurants and cafés along MM Alam Road in Gulberg as it is of the older family places across the city, where the bill often arrives with a debate about who is paying.
The walled city has its own rhythm. Gawalmandi and the food street on Fort Road near the Badshahi Mosque draw crowds for tikka, fish, kulfi and falooda, while Lakshmi Chowk is known for late-night karahi, chargha and fried fish. On Sunday mornings desi breakfast takes over: halwa puri, nihari, paye, chanay and lassi sell in a few frantic hours, much of it as parcels for families eating at home.
Seasons matter too. Wedding season fills restaurants with mehndi and baraat guests, and in Ramadan, iftar packs a whole evening’s orders into the minutes before Maghrib, followed by a second wave at sehri.
Big family tables are where bills go wrong. With Egalla, waiters add each round to the same table from their phones, and the kitchen gets a fresh ticket for every add-on instead of a shouted reminder. When the bill is requested, split it equally, by person or by dish, or merge two tables that were pushed together. Requests like less spice or extra raita print on the KOT, so the tandoor and the karahi station both see them.
For breakfast counters and food-street stalls, counter mode issues takeaway tokens so the Sunday rush of halwa puri parcels goes out in order. Staff PINs keep each waiter’s sales and voids separate across shifts. During the iftar rush, orders keep flowing offline if the mobile network gets congested, and the closing report on WhatsApp splits cash, card, JazzCash, Easypaisa and bank transfer so the owner can check the day from home.
