Thinking about starting a restaurant in Karachi? Pakistan's largest city with 16M+ residents and the highest concentration of online shoppers.
WoBooks runs a Pakistani restaurant's full online presence: branded website, digital QR menu, online ordering with JazzCash, Easypaisa and Cash on Delivery, WhatsApp order alerts, and FBR-formatted thermal and A4 receipts. Commerce Growth is $10/month (PKR 2,780) with a 7-day free trial, no transaction fees, and no Foodpanda-style 25-30% commission.
What your Karachi restaurant needs
- Branded ordering website — yourrestaurant.wobooks.com free, or a custom domain on Commerce Growth.
- Digital menu + QR code — Customers scan the QR on the table, see photos and prices, and order from their phone. Update prices without reprinting.
- JazzCash + Easypaisa + COD — Built in. Cards via Safepay too. No third-party app fees.
- WhatsApp order alerts — New orders ping your kitchen WhatsApp instantly. Table reservations confirmed the same way.
- FBR-formatted receipts — Thermal and A4 invoices print NTN, STRN, FBR invoice number, and scannable FBR QR code. Real-time FBR endpoint transmission on roadmap.
- Delivery zones + timings — Set minimum order, delivery fee, and cut-off times per zone. Pause ordering during rush or when closed.
Accepting payments in Karachi
Karachi has the highest mobile wallet adoption in Pakistan. JazzCash and Easypaisa are used daily by millions of Karachiites for everything from chai to electronics.
Delivery and logistics in Karachi
Same-day and next-day delivery via TCS, Leopards, and local riders covers all of Karachi — from Clifton to North Nazimabad, Korangi to Gulshan.
Why WoBooks beats the alternatives
- vs Foodpanda / ChaiKhana: Aggregators take 25-30% commission on every order, own the customer, and can drop you from search. Your WoBooks site takes 0% commission and keeps the customer data — most Pakistani restaurants use both and shift repeat customers to their own site.
- vs Phone-only orders: No more missed calls or wrong orders written on the back of a napkin. Customers tap, pay, and confirm — the kitchen gets a structured order ticket on WhatsApp and in the dashboard.
- vs Paper menu: Digital QR menu updates instantly when prices change or items run out. Ramadan iftar specials, Eid menus, and seasonal dishes go live without reprinting.
