Bangladesh went digital. Its restaurants didn't — yet.
We pay by phone, bank by phone, live by phone. But step into most of the country's restaurants and the night still runs on a paper pad, a calculator, and a shout across the kitchen. Poribeshon exists to close that gap.
The behaviour is already here.
From the tea stall to the tower, Bangladesh trusts its phone with its money. The habit a restaurant operating system needs is already second nature to the whole country.

But the kitchen still runs on paper.
Orders scribbled on a pad. Totals on a calculator. The day's takings counted by hand after midnight — if they're counted at all. In a market worth billions, most of the operating system is still pen and ink.

This was never really about screens.
It's about the biryani going out hot, the table turning, the owner sleeping at night knowing the numbers add up. Good software should disappear into a good night of service.
Going digital shouldn't mean renting your own customers.
The usual shortcut to digital is the delivery apps. But they take a quarter to a third of every order — and the guest becomes theirs, not yours. That isn't digitalization. It's dependence.
of every order, plus forced discounts
of your sales — a flat price you control
One system the restaurant actually owns.
QR ordering, the kitchen display, the floor, daily-close finance, stock and your regulars — in Bangla and English, on the phones you already have. A flat price in taka, never a cut of your sales.
And the first step is free. A genuinely free starter tier — so every small restaurant, from a roadside café to a growing chain, can feel what digital really does for a night of service before paying a taka.
Bangladesh leapfrogs. Restaurants are next.
The country skipped landlines for mobile and cash for mobile money. Restaurant operations are the next leap — and it's riding the national Smart-Bangladesh push toward a cashless economy.
