Penahak now runs hotels, restaurants and retail on one ledger.
Penahak

Platform

Web, desktop and the services behind them — one application and one ledger.

Web application

The full system in a modern browser. Nothing to install on each machine, nothing to upgrade desk by desk, and the same books whether you open it from the office, the shop floor or home.

  • No installation required
  • Menus follow each person’s role
  • English & Nepali in core screens
  • Runs in any modern browser, nothing to install
  • Print-ready reports with Excel and PDF export
  • Role-aware navigation per user
  • English and Nepali in the core screens
  • No per-machine install or upgrade

Desktop app & printing

A desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, with the same screens plus a printing service that runs on the machine itself. It drives thermal printers directly, so a receipt or kitchen ticket does not depend on a browser print dialogue.

  • Windows, macOS & Linux
  • Thermal receipt & kitchen printing
  • Reprints anything that failed
  • The same application, in a desktop app
  • Picks up new print jobs within seconds
  • Prints straight to your thermal printers
  • Product groups route items to kitchen stations
  • Failed tickets are retried, not lost

Reporting

The statutory pack and the operational reports come back print-ready and export to Excel or PDF, and many of them open the document behind a row.

  • Excel & PDF
  • Your name, PAN & logo on documents
  • Opens the document behind a row
  • Print-ready reports with Excel and PDF export
  • CSV export in the hotel and restaurant reports
  • Dashboard widgets for cash, bank and collections
  • Your name, address, PAN and logo on documents
  • Many reports open the document behind a row

Multi-company & multi-branch

Each company has its own database and sign-in address. Within a company, each branch keeps its own documents and numbering, and the company’s reports cover all branches or one.

  • Your own database
  • Branch-level documents
  • Switch modules on per company
  • Company and branch structure
  • Your own database and sign-in address
  • Switch modules on per company
  • Branch-level documents, company-wide reports
  • Penahak can add a report layout for your company

Scheduled notifications (customer outstanding, cheques due) and IRD sending run by themselves; the hotel’s night audit is a guided close the night auditor runs.

  • Scheduled reminders
  • IRD sending
  • Guided night audit
  • Scheduled outstanding and cheque-due reminders
  • IRD sending, with bills that did not get through sent again automatically
  • Notification and SMS delivery
  • Hotel night audit as a guided close the night auditor runs

Security & deployment

  • Common and custom notification templates

Security & compliance

What auditors and inspectors ask for

Compliance is in the posting engine, not in a reporting add-on you run at year end.

IRD-ready fiscal invoicing

Fiscal invoice behaviour is built into the sales invoice and POS paths themselves rather than added on top, with IRD synchronisation, VAT customer and vendor summaries, and an audit trail written as you trade rather than reconstructed afterwards.

Nepali fiscal year and dates

Bikram Sambat fiscal-year control, business-date close and dual-date handling throughout documents and reports.

Payment methods

Cash, card, bank transfer, QR and wallet payments are recorded against the bank account you choose. Penahak does not move the money.

English and Nepali

English and Nepali in the accounting, inventory, retail POS, HR and report screens. The hotel, restaurant and CRM screens are in English.

Controlled corrections

With IRD on, saved invoices cannot be changed: they are corrected by returns or same-day cancels. Approved, reconciled and locked documents cannot be edited, and edits are logged.

Role-based security

Granular roles and permissions, sign-in by listed IP addresses, account lock after wrong passwords, user activity logging and account start and end dates.
