For counter-service restaurants
Billing software for counter-service restaurants
If customers order at the counter, pay, and collect their food, you do not need a full restaurant system. You need fast bills, the right GST and a receipt that prints in seconds, at a price a small restaurant can carry.

- No Zomato or Swiggy order sync.
- If waiters take orders at tables, a full restaurant POS is built for that.
Is counter billing enough for a restaurant?
If customers order and pay at the counter, yes. Thali counters, biryani and rolls shops, dhabas with counter ordering, canteens and takeaway kitchens all work this way. If waiters take orders at tables and a separate kitchen cooks them, you need kitchen tickets and table management, which this app does not have.
You take the order, take the money, print the receipt and hand over the food. That whole job fits on one phone or tablet.
Paying for a full restaurant system when you run a counter means paying for a captain app, a kitchen display and aggregator links you will never switch on.
How does GST work on a restaurant menu price?
Most restaurants print one price on the menu, with GST already inside it. At 5%, a Rs 105 dish is Rs 100 of food and Rs 5 of tax, split as Rs 2.50 CGST and Rs 2.50 SGST. The app works that split out on every bill, so the menu price never has to change.
In Setup you mark prices as tax-inclusive and set the rate once. At the counter, staff tap dishes at the price the customer already knows, and the tax breakup appears only on the printed bill.
A discount on the whole bill is spread across the items before tax is worked out, which is how the GST rules want it done.
How do you keep the counter fast at lunch and dinner?
Keep the menu on a tap grid grouped by category, park an order with Hold when a customer is still deciding, and let payment be split between UPI and cash on one bill. Tax is set once in Setup, so none of it appears on the billing screen.
Bills are saved on the device first, so a slow or dropped connection never makes the queue wait. They sync to your account later.
Which numbers should a restaurant owner watch every day?
Sales split by UPI and cash, the dishes that sold most and least, and expenses such as vegetables, gas, oil and salaries. Enter expenses as they are paid and the report shows what the day actually left you, not just what went through the till.
The item report is where menus get better. A dish that sells twice a week but needs its own ingredients is worth questioning; one that sells forty times a day is worth pricing carefully.

Common questions
Is this a restaurant POS?
It is counter billing: take the order, bill it, print. There are no kitchen tickets or table maps, which keeps it simple and the price at INR 5,000 a year.
What GST rate does a restaurant charge?
Most standalone restaurants charge 5% without input tax credit. Set the rate once in Setup and every bill applies it. Check with your CA if you are inside a hotel or run outdoor catering, where the rules differ.
Can I use it on a tablet at the counter?
Yes. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or PC and installs to the home screen.
Is there a free version?
Yes, up to 25 bills a month. A busy counter goes past that quickly, so treat the free plan as a trial run and Pro as the working plan.
