Introducing Diwan POS run your counter at the speed of typing

Today the Diwan team is launching Diwan POS, a point of sale made for the busy counters of Pakistani shops, restaurants and pharmacies.

Diwan was built after studying the same problems at shop after shop. The queue is out the door and the cashier is hunting for a button with the mouse. The internet drops and billing stops. The counter PC is ten years old and the software takes forever to respond. Most POS software is designed for the back office. Diwan is designed for the three seconds between a customer asking for something and the receipt printing.

Typing beats clicking

The billing screen works from the keyboard. Your nine most-sold items sit on keys 1 to 9. The bill updates as you type. Ctrl + Enter places the order and Ctrl + K prints the token. A cashier can close a sale without touching the mouse, so the queue moves as fast as they can type.

Restaurants get per-table running bills. You can keep several tables open at once, switch between them from the keyboard, and print customer receipts and kitchen chits from the same terminal on USB or network printers.

It keeps selling when the internet drops

Diwan is offline-first. Billing, stock and printing all run against a database on your own machine, so a dropped connection never stops a sale. You need the internet once, to activate your licence. After that the till works without it, and sync picks up again by itself when the line comes back.

If you run several counters, they all share one business: the same products, stock, staff and sales. Stock is checked centrally before an online sale is recorded, so two counters can't sell the last unit twice.

Fast on the PCs shops actually have

Diwan has a native backend and doesn't bundle a heavy browser runtime, so it stays fast on older, low-cost counter PCs. One licence covers every build:

• Windows 10 or later, 64-bit or 32-bit
• macOS 11 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel
• Linux x86_64, as AppImage, .deb or .rpm
• Android 8.0 or later, for order-taking at the table or stock checks in the aisle

Safe with your money and your numbers

A till handles real money every day, so we treated that seriously:

• Every sale is saved in a single step. It is either recorded completely or not at all, so a sale can never be half-saved.
• Amounts are stored in whole paisa, never as floating-point numbers, so totals don't drift from rounding errors.
• Prices are locked at checkout, so changing a price today can never change yesterday's receipts.
• Every sale reduces stock as it is rung up, so the count on the shelf matches the count on the screen.

Built for how you run your business

The same app adapts to a kirana store, a café or a pharmacy. A setup wizard on first launch asks about your business and switches on the modules you need: billing, inventory, tables, reports, expenses, staff attendance and salary. Staff sign in with a PIN, and roles (Owner, Admin, Cashier) decide what each person can see.
