For businesses across Nepal, Dashain and Tihar are the Super Bowl of the calendar — weeks of packed tables and gift-season spending. The rush rewards preparation and exposes every weak process.
Forecast, then stock
Last year's festival data is the best guide to this year's. Use demand forecasting to size inventory and prep for the peak days, so you neither run out of your bestsellers nor drown in spoilage after.
The festival-readiness checklist
- Forecast demand by day and by dish from last season's numbers.
- Pre-stock smartly with low-stock alerts guarding your hero items.
- Speed the kitchen with a kitchen display system so tickets never pile up.
- Staff to the curve and brief the team on the festival menu and flow.
- Speed checkout with digital payments and quick, accurate billing.
Handled well, the busiest weeks of the year become the most profitable — and the calmest — instead of the most chaotic. Prepare once, and let the system carry the rush.
