Installation

Install KhataRasoi POS on Windows, macOS or Linux.

Use one computer as the restaurant's POS server. Keep it on a wired or stable Wi-Fi connection and on a UPS if you can.

Minimum setup

  • 64-bit Windows 10/11, macOS 13 Ventura or later, or a current 64-bit Linux desktop
  • 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended), 2 GB free disk
  • Screen at least 1280×720; touch screens supported
  • ESC/POS thermal printer (USB or network) for receipts and KOT
  • Internet for activation, then at least once every 30 days

Windows

  1. Download the Windows installer (.exe) from the download page and check its SHA-256.
  2. Run it. If Windows SmartScreen warns about an unrecognised publisher, check the publisher name and checksum before choosing Run anyway; signed releases do not show this warning.
  3. Allow KhataRasoi POS through Windows Firewall on private networks so kitchen screens and waiters can connect.

macOS

  1. Download the .dmg for Apple Silicon (M1–M4) or Intel.
  2. Open it and drag KhataRasoi POS to Applications.
  3. Allow Local Network access when asked, so kitchen screens, waiters and network printers work.

Linux

  • AppImage: chmod +x KhataRasoi-*.AppImage then run it.
  • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install ./khatarasoi_*.deb
  • Fedora/RHEL: sudo dnf install ./khatarasoi-*.rpm
  • For USB printers, add your user to the lp group (or follow your distribution's printer guide).

First run and activation

  1. Create the owner account, business details, country and tax settings.
  2. The POS shows Activate this POS with a code. Your restaurant must already be approved.
  3. Sign in to KhataRasoi Cloud, open your restaurant, choose Setup → Activate POS and enter the code.
  4. The POS unlocks within seconds. Continue with tables, menu, staff and printers.

Kitchen screens and waiters

On the POS, open Settings to see the addresses for kitchen screens (port 3002) and the Waiter App (port 3003). Open them in a browser on any device on the same Wi-Fi. Do not expose these ports to the internet.

Before going live

  • Print a receipt and a KOT on every printer.
  • Run one test order through the kitchen screen and Waiter App.
  • Settle one cash and one card/UPI bill, then run an X report.
  • Check that automatic backups are listed in Settings.
