01At a glance
Everything a bill has to do.
- Find a dish by typing badlySearch forgives spelling and short forms: pnr finds paneer, and Enter adds the highlighted dish.
- Take money the way guests payCash, UPI or card, and a bill can be split equally between guests or by dish.
- A void needs a manager and a reasonA cashier cannot discount or void alone. The manager’s PIN and the reason are recorded every time.
- A reprint is a documentThe first print never asks. Every copy after it needs a reason, because a duplicate invoice is a document in the world.
- The law is checked before it printsNo FSSAI number, a GSTIN that does not check out, or a bill of ₹50,000 or more with no name: the till says which, and refuses.
- Service charge starts offA switch on each bill, off on every new one, and removed the moment a guest asks.
02In detail
What makes restaurant billing software fast?
Fewer decisions per dish. On CountStand’s till a tap adds the dish and the tile keeps count; portions and add-ons are picked on the line rather than in a box you have to close. The menu is one continuous list with a strip of sections that jumps through it, so the cashier never loses their place.
Speed also means not waiting on the network. When the internet drops, the till keeps taking orders, taking cash and settling bills. The kitchen tickets and bills wait in its queue and print, in order and exactly once, when the line comes back.
What has to be on a restaurant bill in India?
A tax invoice names the supplier with its address and GSTIN, carries a consecutive serial unique for the financial year, and lists each item with its quantity, the taxable value, the CGST and SGST (or IGST) with their rates, and the place of supply. CountStand prints all of them and your FSSAI licence number. An outlet with no GSTIN gets a receipt instead, marked as not a tax invoice.
How does UPI work on the bill?
The bill carries a dynamic UPI QR with the amount already in it, so the guest scans and pays the exact total. The money goes to the outlet’s own account; CountStand does not hold it. Online payments through CountStand itself are not open at launch.
03Questions
Questions about billing.
Yes. The till keeps taking orders, taking cash and settling bills. Kitchen tickets and bills are saved in its queue and print, in order and exactly once, when the line returns.
If it is on your network, yes. Add it by its IP address, choose 80 mm or 58 mm paper, and the print agent on the counter computer prints to it. USB and Bluetooth printers are not supported.
At the 5% rate most restaurants charge, the tax splits into 2.5% CGST and 2.5% SGST within a state. CountStand keeps money in whole paise and gives any odd paisa to CGST, so the bill and the return agree.
A fired line cannot be edited, because the kitchen is already cooking it. The cashier voids and re-adds it, which needs a manager’s PIN and a reason, and both are recorded.
