The bill is a record of the visit, not a reconstruction of it at the counter

A bill your accountant accepts

The tax on the bill is your rate, your registration number and your rounding — not our assumptions about how an Indian restaurant is supposed to be set up. GST can be off entirely, or on at a rate you choose, branch by branch. Menu prices can be quoted tax-inclusive, or tax can be added at the bill; the invoice shows the breakdown either way.

• GST on or off, at your own rate, per branch
• Tax-inclusive menu prices, or tax added at the bill
• An optional service charge, and an optional rounded-off total
• GSTIN, FSSAI, business name and address on the printed bill
• Your own invoice prefix, numbered in one unbroken series per branch

Fixing things before, and correcting them after

While the visit is open the bill is still yours to work on: add an item somebody ordered verbally, take off the dish that went back, change a quantity. Those edits change the underlying orders, so the kitchen record and the bill stay the same document rather than two versions of one evening.

Once the invoice exists, it stops being editable and starts being a record. A correction is a refund against it, recorded with who made it and when. The invariants are deliberate and dull: net refunds can never exceed what was collected, and settlements are undone in the reverse of the order they were made.

• Add, remove or re-quantify items before invoicing
• A saving on a single item, and a manual discount on the whole bill before tax
• Refunds recorded against the invoice, never scribbled over it
• Who discounted, who cancelled, who settled — written down as it happens

Udhar, handled properly

Regulars who eat now and settle at month end are not an edge case in India, they are the business. Put the bill on credit at the moment of billing and it becomes an outstanding amount against that customer, with a ledger per person, part payments recorded as they arrive, and paid, partly paid or unpaid visible on every bill.

It is the khata, except that it adds itself up, it cannot be left in somebody's other shirt, and you can see the total outstanding across every regular without opening a notebook.

Receipts, and the template they come off

Bills, credit bills and payment receipts print from one template with your logo on top, in the 58mm and 80mm thermal formats your counter already uses. The invoice template is yours to edit per restaurant, including the footer blocks, so the bill says what you want it to say rather than what we assumed.

Your takings never touch us

There is no payment gateway in this product. A guest paying by UPI pays you directly, cash stays in your till, and what the system holds is the record that the money arrived and who took it. The only transaction between us is your subscription.

That also means we cannot settle money to you, take a payment on your behalf or reverse a UPI transfer. Payment disputes are between you and your bank, as they would be at the till.
