Running machines in Kathmandu
- QR first
- Fonepay QR, eSewa and Khalti cover most buyers; cards suit tourists.
- Customs
- Machines from India clear Nepali customs; duty and clearance time are part of the plan.
- Cold winters
- Ambient machines suit many sites, and chilled units need less cooling most of the year.
