Bhookly vs Loyverse.
Loyverse is a free mobile POS for small businesses of every kind, used in 170+ countries and available in 30+ languages, with a free kitchen display app and paid add-ons for staff management and advanced inventory. For a small café that needs to start selling today at no cost, it is hard to beat. Bhookly is built for restaurants in Pakistan and does the things a general free POS leaves to you: fiscal filing with the tax authority, a guided nightly cash close, margin per dish, waste, catering, WhatsApp ordering and your own ordering website.

Where Loyverse wins
We'll be straight with you: here's where Loyverse has the edge.
- Price: the POS, kitchen display, customer display, loyalty programme and multi-store management are free
- Reach: 170+ countries and 30+ languages, where Bhookly is built around Pakistan
- Self-service: download the app and sell the same day, with a 14-day free trial on each paid add-on
- An app marketplace that connects accounting, ecommerce and marketing tools
- Works offline and syncs when the connection returns
Switching
Loyverse lets you export items and customers as files, which is what Bhookly needs. Bhookly loads the menu and its recipes from one spreadsheet, stock items from Excel and the customer list from a file, each checked row by row before anything is saved. Supplier balances go in as opening balances. Bhookly's team does the setup, including the receipt, printers and floor plan. Your Loyverse points do not carry over as points: start guests on the Bhookly stamp card with a goodwill stamp, which a manager can grant with a PIN and a reason.

Is Bhookly a good alternative to Loyverse?
Yes, Bhookly is a good alternative to Loyverse once a restaurant in Pakistan outgrows a free general POS. Bhookly files every sale with FBR, PRA and KPRA, walks the manager through a nightly count of cash, card and online, shows the margin on every dish, logs waste, takes orders on WhatsApp and gives you your own ordering website. Loyverse is the better fit if free matters most or you sell outside Pakistan.
What does Loyverse cost in Pakistan?
Loyverse's core POS is free everywhere, including Pakistan. Its paid add-ons are priced in US dollars: unlimited sales history at $5 a month per store, employee management at $5 a month per employee, and advanced inventory at $25 a month per store. Bhookly's Starter plan is Rs 10,000 a month in rupees.
Does Loyverse work offline?
Yes, Loyverse advertises that you can make sales with weak or unstable internet and that data syncs once the connection is restored. Bhookly's Windows and Android apps also keep selling through a cut, print kitchen tickets and take payment.
Is Loyverse FBR integrated?
FBR and PRA integration are not mentioned on the Loyverse pages Bhookly read on 6 October 2026, so check before relying on it for a registered restaurant. Bhookly files each sale with FBR, PRA and KPRA at payment, prints the official number and QR on the receipt, and retries by itself if the authority's server is down.
Is Loyverse really free for a restaurant?
The Loyverse POS, kitchen display and loyalty programme are free, according to its pricing page. A restaurant with several staff usually adds employee management at $5 a month per employee, and advanced inventory is $25 a month per store. Bhookly includes eight staff roles, stock and recipes in its Starter plan.
Does Loyverse have a kitchen display?
Yes, Loyverse offers a free kitchen display app for iOS and Android tablets. Bhookly's kitchen display adds one board per station, timers that turn amber then red against a target prep time, an all-day count of every unmade item, and an alert when a waiter adds to a ticket already on the board.
Where do the facts about Loyverse on this page come from?
Every statement about Loyverse on this page comes from Loyverse's own website, read on 6 October 2026, unless the sentence names another source. “Not advertised on their site” means the pages Bhookly read did not mention the feature, not that Loyverse cannot do it, so ask Loyverse to show it in a demo. Prices change, and Loyverse's own pricing page is the final word.
