How it works

Four parties, one scan, one statement a week.

Mukhtar connects a company, its employees and the restaurants they eat at. Here is exactly what happens at each step, and who pays whom.

The loop

From the roster to the statement.

  1. HR sets who is covered

    HR imports the roster, checks the preview, and sets daily and monthly limits.

  2. The employee opens a code

    Short-lived, single use, for one restaurant. No CNIC or phone number is in it.

  3. The cashier scans it

    In the till app, which signs in with the outlet's code and a PIN.

  4. The bill is entered

    The cashier types the bill. The discount is applied and the receipt adds up.

  5. The employee pays the restaurant

    Directly, at the till. Mukhtar never holds anyone's money.

  6. The restaurant is invoiced weekly

    With one statement that lists every redemption and the named commission on each.

Throughout, HR sees usage and savings in the HR portal, and has an activity log for the account.

Who pays whom

The money goes from the employee to the restaurant. Mukhtar never holds it.

Employee

Pays the restaurant

The bill, less the discount, paid at the till.

At the till
Restaurant

Keeps the payment

And pays an agreed commission on each verified bill.

Weekly
Mukhtar

Invoices each restaurant

Once a week, with a statement that lists every redemption.

The company

Decides who is covered, sets the limits, and sees usage and savings. No money passes through Mukhtar on the way.

The code

Why every meal is checked at the till.

The code is what lets the company, the restaurant and Mukhtar trust the same record of a meal.

Short-lived
Expires within minutes

A code that has expired is no use to anyone.

Single use
Works once

The same code cannot be used for a second meal.

One place
At one restaurant

Each code is good at one restaurant only.

Private
No CNIC or phone number

Neither is ever in the code, and identity data is stored hashed.

Food first

A corporate concierge, powered by group purchasing.

Mukhtar brings together what companies buy, so each one gets better terms than it could alone, and deals with one point of contact. Food comes first. More will follow.
