People search for the cost of opening a cafe and get a number that includes the deposit, the hood, and the chairs. This list is only the part that takes an order and a payment. If the hood is the thing you are pricing, you are in the wrong article, and that is on purpose.
The list
Wifi. A fibre line the counter and the guests can share. Tariffs move every quarter, so take the current Worldlink or Ncell price rather than a number frozen here. The till has to keep selling when that line dies, which is a software requirement and not a second ISP.
A tablet. The Blackview Tab 60 Pro was NPR 21,999 at Warrantore. A phone you already own can run the same counter for the first month. Buy the tablet when the queue, not the brochure, asks for a stand.
A printer. Optional on day one, because the bill exists on the screen. When you buy one, buy 80mm, from NPR 8,500 if you will print PAN bills. A 58mm listing we opened was NPR 10,000 and only 32 characters wide.
A QR. Your own, from your bank or the wallet you already have. You do not need three, and the money should land with you.
A menu that is the shop. Photographs, a price on every item, and a table QR so an order does not arrive as a chat. The walk from table to payment is the cafe workflow.
The software. Pasal Pro is NPR 2,000 a month or NPR 18,000 a year. New shops get 7 days of Pro free. Pasal Complete is Rs 49,999 the first year and already contains the tablet, the 80mm printer, the stand, starter rolls and that year of Pro. Buying the tablet and the cheap printer and the year yourself was NPR 48,499 before a stand and paper, which is the sum in the POS cost piece.
Nothing on this list is the rent. Add the rent yourself. The technology is a weekend and, if you take the published cheap end plus a year of software, on the order of NPR 48,499 before the stand.
