Old bazaars, big appetites
Qissa Khwani, Chowk Yadgar and the lanes of the old city are still where much of Peshawar's trade happens. Dry fruit, spices, cloth, crockery and household goods move from wholesalers to retailers across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Karkhano Market sells electronics and imported goods, and mobile shops fill entire plazas.
Then there is the food. Namak Mandi's lamb karahi and tikka draw customers from other cities, chapli kabab stalls do steady business all day, and qehwa and chai are never far away. These places often seat large groups, take orders in bulk and cook over open fire, so getting the order right the first time matters.
Which product fits
- Karahi, tikka and BBQ houses: ArfaPOS takes the order at the counter and prints it for the kitchen. On Growth it goes to a kitchen screen too, and selling a kilo of karahi deducts the meat, tomatoes and ghee linked to that recipe, so you can see what the day used. On Business, waiters can take orders on a tablet at the table. See how it works for BBQ and karahi restaurants.
- Dry fruit and spice wholesalers: Taajir tracks stock by item, records purchases from suppliers and keeps a ledger for each retailer who buys on credit.
- Electronics and mobile dealers: item-wise stock, invoices and supplier payments, with a mobile app to check balances when you are away from the shop. IMEI tracking comes with the Lots & Serials add-on.
- Cloth and garment shops: sales, purchases and udhaar in one place, on Taajir Standard at Rs 4,000 a month or Rs 36,000 a year.
Buyers who come in from other towns
Wholesalers in the old city often deal with buyers from Mardan, Charsadda or Kohat who come in once or twice a month. Taajir keeps each buyer's ledger ready, so when he arrives you already know what he took last time and what he still owes.
How setup works from Bhakkar
AiroxLab's team is in Bhakkar, Punjab. For Peshawar customers, everything happens remotely: a video call to understand your business, screen sharing to set up items and staff accounts, and live training while your cashier makes the first bills. Support afterwards is on WhatsApp in Urdu and English.
For a restaurant, we set up your menu, link the main recipes to ingredients if you are on Growth or Business, and decide what each staff member can access. For a wholesaler on Taajir, we enter items, opening stock and each party's opening balance so your new ledger starts from the right number.
Taajir and ArfaPOS both work offline and sync later, which helps when the power goes in the middle of a busy afternoon. Taajir also runs on a mobile app.
