How to run restaurant billing

Open a table, send dishes to the kitchen on a KOT, add more as the guests order, and settle the bill when they leave.

Step by step

Set up once. Restaurant details and bill settings: name, address, GSTIN, UPI ID and your GST rate (5% for most restaurants).
Open a table. Dine-in with the table number, or Takeaway / Delivery; add dishes.
Send the KOT. Print KOT (new items): only dishes not yet sent go to the kitchen, with notes like "less spicy".
Keep tables running. Save table, take next order; running tables show as buttons at the top.
Settle. Discount, service charge only if the guest agrees, split if asked; pick cash, UPI, card or credit; Settle and print bill.

Worked example

Table 4: 2 dal makhani ₹260, 6 roti ₹20, 2 lassi ₹80 = ₹800 + GST 5% (CGST ₹20 + SGST ₹20) = ₹840. Split between two guests: ₹420 each.

Rules and dates

Restaurant service is 5% GST without input tax credit, except in hotels with room tariff above ₹7,500 a day (18%). Service charge cannot be added automatically; it is only with the guest's consent (CCPA guidelines).

Common mistakes and how to fix them

Printing the full order again on each KOT. Use Print KOT (new items) so the kitchen gets only the new dishes.
