POS software for caterers in Karachi.
Karachi eats biryani, bun kabab and BBQ & tikka, and its caterers take cash, card and online payments in the same hour. Bhookly counts each one separately at the nightly close and says whether it matches, is short or is over. Bhookly gives caterers event bookings with deposits and balances, a cooking plan that scales every recipe to the guest count, and an after-event wrap-up that shows what the event really cost.
Where caterers trade in Karachi.
Karachi never stops eating. From the late-night chai dhabas of Burns Road and the bun-kababs of Boat Basin to the fine-dining rooms of DHA and Clifton, the city runs on volume, variety and cash. A POS here has to keep up with relentless turnover, frequent power and internet cuts, and a payment mix that swings from cash to card to online across neighbourhoods.

What goes wrong for caterers in Karachi.
- Bookings kept in a notebook and a WhatsApp thread, with no single version of the order.
- Deposits that land in the till and throw off the day's cash-up.
- Quantities worked out in someone's head, then a last-minute run to the market.
- The guest count changes two days before, and the kitchen cooks from the old number.
- Chafing dishes and serving trays that go to a venue and never come back.
- No idea whether last weekend's wedding made money.
A catering job on Bhookly: the booking records the customer, date, venue, guests, dishes, special prices and notes, and moves from Enquiry to Confirmed to Delivered to Closed with a history. Deposits, payments and refunds are recorded against it, the balance due is always on screen, and the invoice and receipt print as PDFs. "Send to kitchen" turns the booking into a production plan. Bhookly works out every ingredient and prep item at the event's quantity and compares it with what the kitchen and the store hold. If the numbers change, the plan shows what is needed more or less and a top-up request goes to the store. Event dishes appear on the kitchen screen days ahead with a countdown and the recipe at event quantity. Boxes, foil and chafing dishes go on the plan, and returnable items are tracked as sent, back or still out.
What caterers in Karachi run on Bhookly
Catering Management
Take a catering booking, record the deposit, send it to the kitchen as a cooking plan in one tap, and close the event knowing what it really cost.
Kitchen Production Planning
Plan what the kitchen will cook, see every ingredient it needs, and move stock from store to kitchen by recorded request, with a name, a quantity and a time.
Recipe Costing
Recipe costing software for restaurants: see price, cost, profit and margin on every dish, with the food cost per plate worked out line by line.

Things people usually ask us.
Still have a question? Message us and we reply the same day.
Can Bhookly manage catering bookings?
Yes. Bhookly records each catering booking with the customer, date, venue, guest count, dishes, special prices and notes. A booking moves from Enquiry to Confirmed to Delivered to Closed, and every change is kept in its history.
How do I track catering deposits and balances?
Bhookly records deposits, payments and refunds against each booking and shows the balance due. Catering money is kept apart from the till, so an event deposit never distorts the day's cash-up, and you can print an invoice and a receipt as PDFs.
How do I work out quantities for a large event?
List what will be cooked and Bhookly works out every ingredient and prep item for that guest count. The plan is compared with what the kitchen and the store already hold, and recipe cards rescale to any batch size in kitchen units such as 1.5 kg and 250 g.
What happens when the guest count changes at the last minute?
Change the numbers on the booking and Bhookly updates the kitchen plan. The plan shows what is needed more or less than before, and a top-up request goes to the store, so the kitchen never cooks from an old version of the order.
Does Bhookly work during load-shedding in Karachi?
Yes — order-taking, checkout and kitchen tickets keep running offline through power and internet cuts, then sync automatically when you're back online.
Can I run multiple Karachi branches from one login?
Yes. Each branch — DHA, Clifton, Gulshan — gets its own workspace, with a consolidated owner dashboard across all of them.
