Lawn launch day at a Y Block boutique: the queue starts before the shutters go up, every customer wants a specific design in a specific size, and the stock sheet from last night is already wrong. On MM Alam Road the restaurants fill from eight to midnight, with delivery riders waiting at the door. Gulberg salons are booked solid before every wedding week. A Lahore POS is bought for those days, not for a quiet Tuesday in Model Town.
Restaurants and cafés: MM Alam Road, Gulberg and DHA Phase 6
A Lahore restaurant counter needs tables, takeaway and delivery-app orders in one queue, kitchen tickets, split bills, and a shift closing that separates cash, cards, JazzCash and EasyPaisa. Bills carry sales tax on services, which in Punjab is administered by the Punjab Revenue Authority; the POS prints that line and keeps the monthly summary. Which rate applies to your restaurant: confirm with your tax adviser. Our live restaurant system, Cheesy Bite, runs online ordering, a staff dashboard and the POS on one set of orders.
Boutiques: lawn season and the stock sheet
Designer lawn and pret sell by design, size and colour, and a launch can sell out in hours. The POS needs barcode labels per variant, stock per branch, exchanges against the original receipt, and a report of what sold in which size so the next cut is right. Boutiques selling goods deal with the FBR, and the tax rules decide which retailers must integrate their POS with the FBR system; see our FBR POS integration guide. If the brand also sells online, the store and the counter should share stock. The online side of that is what Raah Fits has: an online store with its own admin for products, orders and customers.
Bakeries and salons
Bakeries in Model Town and Johar Town live on cake pre-orders with an advance paid and a pickup date; the POS should take the advance and list tomorrow's orders for the kitchen. Salons in Gulberg need services billed by staff member, appointments, and product sales at the desk, with the services bill carrying PRA tax and the product bill carrying FBR tax, each printed correctly without the receptionist choosing anything.

Branches across Lahore on one stock
A brand with a store in DHA, one in Gulberg, one in Johar Town and a counter in Packages Mall needs stock transfers recorded at both ends, one price list changed centrally, and a morning report per branch. The multi-branch software guide covers transfers, branch margins and who may see what.
Load shedding
The counter keeps billing on the local machine when the internet or the power goes, with the PC and printer on a UPS, and syncs when the connection returns. Test it in the demo by switching the internet off and billing a sale.
Create the branch
Add the outlet with its own stock location, cash drawer and staff logins.
Transfer opening stock
Send stock from the first branch or the warehouse with a transfer note, received at the new branch.
Set up the hardware
Buy a billing PC or tablet, thermal printer and scanner locally; Hall Road has every brand. We configure them with you on a call.
Train the new cashiers
On the live system, in Urdu or English, over video; the first branch's staff can sit in.
Watch the first week
Compare both branches' shift closings against card and app settlements, then fix anything that does not match.
Set up from Karachi, with a visit at go-live
Operix is a Karachi company with no Lahore office. Discovery and design are done over video, the system is installed remotely, training is on the live system, and we visit Lahore for the go-live when the project needs it. See how we work with Lahore businesses and the POS system page, then book a demo and tell us your branches.
Questions people ask
Does the POS handle PRA tax on restaurant bills in Lahore?
Yes. Services bills carry the Punjab Revenue Authority sales tax line and goods bills carry FBR sales tax, each printed automatically. Which rate applies to you is a question for your tax adviser.
Can a lawn boutique track stock by design, size and colour?
Yes. Each variant has its own barcode and stock per branch, exchanges are made against the original receipt, and sell-through by size is a standard report.
Can one POS run my DHA and Gulberg branches?
Yes. Each branch has its own stock, cash and logins, transfers are recorded at both ends, and the owner sees all branches on one phone.
Do you have an office in Lahore?
No. Operix is in Karachi. Lahore clients are set up and trained online, and we visit for the go-live when the project needs it.
How much does a POS cost in Lahore?
It depends on counters, branches and integrations. Operix does not publish prices; a written quote follows a discovery call.
