NPL Season Rush: Water Stock for Restaurants and Bars
Running an NPL season restaurant or bar in Kathmandu? Plan bottled water stock for match nights so you never run out. Order before the weekend.
For any NPL season restaurant or bar in Kathmandu, match nights mean full tables, longer stays and more drinks orders. Water is the order you can't run out of: it goes with every meal, every round and every tense last over. Here is a simple way to plan stock for the rest of the season.
The Nepal Premier League 2026 runs until the final on 21 November, with all matches at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur (source). Fans who can't get to the ground look for a good screen, good food and a good seat.
Why match nights change your water use
Guests stay longer, groups order for the whole table, and the kitchen needs more water for extra covers.
How an NPL season restaurant can plan water stock
- Check your bills from the last busy match night and count bottles sold.
- Plan for the busiest fixtures, such as playoff nights, with extra stock.
- Keep one case of each size you sell as a buffer behind the bar.
- Store cases in a cool, dry place away from direct sun and strong smells.
| Size | Best use in a restaurant or bar |
|---|---|
| 250ml | With meals, quick sales at the counter |
| 500ml | Table water during the match |
| 1L | Sharing for groups and families |
| 20L jar | Kitchen, staff and dispenser use |

Order before the weekend
Purna delivers from Sunday to Friday, 10am to 6pm; there is no delivery on Saturdays or during festivals such as Dashain and Tihar. For Saturday matches, top up your stock by Friday.
Purna can set up a regular delivery order once you know how many jars you need. That way the kitchen never waits on jars during the rush.
Billing for your business
For a company bill, Purna needs the company name, PAN number, location and a contact person. Purna issues a bill for every order; you can pay by QR code or cheque, either in advance or when you receive the order.
On match nights, chill bottles before the toss and check stock at the innings break.
