GST Billing for Restaurants: Why You Cannot Choose 18%

Almost every restaurant in India charges 5% GST with no input tax credit. That is the short answer, and the part owners find hardest to accept is that it is not a choice. You cannot opt into 18% to claim credit on your rent and your raw material. The 18% rate exists, but only for

E-Invoice for Restaurants: Why Most Bills Do Not Need One

If your restaurant’s turnover has crossed ₹5 crore, you may be worried that every bill now needs an e-invoice. For most restaurants, it does not.

A restaurant day-end report is the nightly check that matches what you sold against what you actually collected.

How to Sync Your Menu Across Swiggy, Zomato & Your POS

Menu sync means you edit your menu once in your POS. The change then updates on Swiggy, Zomato and your own ordering channels together.

Item Availability & Menu On/Off: Stop Cancelled Orders

Item availability is the on/off status of every dish, set inside your POS. A dish is either in stock and orderable, or sold out and paused.

KDS vs Paper KOT: Why Busy Kitchens Are Going Screen-First

A KDS (kitchen display system) and a paper KOT (kitchen order ticket) do the same job: they tell the kitchen what to cook. The difference is that a paper KOT prints the order on a slip, while a KDS shows it live on a screen. Same order details, no printer and no paper. That one
