POS and restaurant

A counter that bills fast and posts straight to your books

Q: Can I bill from a phone or tablet?

A mobile POS is on the roadmap and is not available today. The POS runs on the web app and on the desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, where local USB and thermal printers are driven through the Unnati print agent.

Q: Do POS sales appear in my accounts?

Yes. A counter bill posts to the same ledger as a regular tax invoice, so POS revenue, taxes and receipts are part of the trial balance as they happen. There is no end-of-day export from the till into the accounting package, because there is no separate accounting package.

Q: Can one company run several outlets?

Yes. Outlets and counters are configured separately, with their own users, printers, menus and promotions, while the reporting rolls up. That suits a chain of restaurants or a retail group where each location has its own rhythm but the owner wants one set of books.

The billing counter is not a separate business. Here it is the same one, seen from the till.

In short

Unnati runs outlets, counters and cashier sessions for retail and restaurants. Orders move from the table to the kitchen display as a KOT, bills carry the GST breakup, and every sale posts into the same ledger the rest of the business uses. Loyalty points, coupons, offers, happy hours and a khata-style customer balance are built in.

The real screenNot a picture of one

How it works

A counter that is already part of the books

A till that does not talk to stock and the ledger creates two evenings of work: one at the counter and one in accounts. Here the bill is the stock movement and the posting.

What happensThe shift opens on a terminal with an opening float, against a named cashier.What it carries inThe outlet, the terminal and the price list in force.

And all of this is already true

The counter and the books agree by defaultThere is no end-of-day export, because there is nothing to export to.

A short till is visible the same nightCounted versus system, per session and per cashier.

Stock moves on the billBy recipe in a kitchen, so consumption of raw material is real rather than estimated monthly.

The menu is one configurationThe till, the KDS and the published QR menu read the same rows.

In more detail

How it works in practice

The screens in order, and what happens as a record moves through them.

From the table to the kitchen and back
An order taken at a table appears on the kitchen display as a KOT with the notes the guest gave.
Promotions and loyalty that finance can still read
Coupons, offers and happy hours are configured with their own rules and validity, and loyalty points are earned and redeemed on rules you set.
Recipes that move real stock
When a dish is sold, its recipe consumes the ingredients from stock rather than reducing a single menu item.

Built for India

A bill your customer and your auditor both accept

A counter bill is still a GST document, and treating it as one from the start saves the reconciliation later.

GST breakup on the bill, driven by the tax master and the HSN on the item

Sales post to the ledger as they happen, so POS revenue is in the trial balance without an import

Khata-style running balances for regular customers who settle weekly or monthly

Offline billing and a mobile POS are on the roadmap; today the counter needs a connection

Questions

POS and Restaurant: what buyers ask

Does the POS work without an internet connection?

No. Billing needs a connection today. Offline billing is on the roadmap, and we would rather you knew that now than found out during a power cut. Many outlets run the desktop app on a wired connection with a local printer, which is the most stable setup we can recommend at present.
