POS software for caterers in Lahore.
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. Every dish on a Lahore menu, from Lahori charga to BBQ, shows its price, cost, profit and margin, and stock goes down by itself as bills are paid.
Where caterers trade in Lahore.
Lahore lives to eat — the saying is practically law. The old city's Food Street and Gawalmandi serve heritage desi late into the night, while MM Alam Road, DHA and Johar Town are packed with cafés, grills and modern concepts. Restaurants here juggle huge weekend rushes, big family tables and a fast-growing online-ordering crowd.

What goes wrong for caterers in Lahore.
- 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.

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.

Things people usually ask us.
Still have a question? Message us and we reply the same day.
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.
Can I see whether a catering event made a profit?
Yes. Bhookly's after-event wrap-up compares what the recipes said with what was actually used, and splits leftovers into keep, send back to the store or throw away. The result is the true cost of that event.
Can I track equipment sent to a venue?
Yes. In Bhookly packaging and equipment such as boxes, foil and chafing dishes are added to the production plan, and each returnable item is tracked as sent, back or still out.
Can Bhookly handle big weekend rushes in Lahore?
Yes — a fast POS, kitchen display and clear floor plan keep service moving through Lahore's heavy Friday and weekend rushes.
Can I take online orders without Foodpanda commissions in Lahore?
Yes, with your own branded ordering website and app, so Lahore customers order direct and you keep the margin.
