Billing & counter

A till that does not stop when the line does.

Most billing software is a web page with a shop's name on it. Close the tab, lose the signal, and the queue stops. This one runs on the device.

The thing most billing apps get wrong

Not the interface — the invoice number. Two counters in one shop, both offline for twenty minutes, both issuing bills. If numbers are handed out by a server, the second counter has no numbers. If they are handed out locally without care, the two counters mint the same one, and the first GST return is a mess somebody spends a weekend unpicking.

Reserved blocks

Each device holds a block of numbers issued to it in advance. Two tills cannot collide, because they were never drawing from the same pool. The block refills when there is signal, silently, long before it runs out.

Sequential where it must be

GST requires an unbroken series per book. The blocks are per device and reconciled on sync, so the series a return is filed from is unbroken even though it was written in three places at once.

Nothing asked twice

Every queued write carries an idempotency key. A till that retries a bill on a flaky connection does not create a second bill — which is the other half of offline, and the half that is usually missing.

In detail

Scan, say it, or tap

Input

Phone camera or a ₹900 USB scanner. Voice in your own language, including quantities said the way people say them — dhai kilo, aadha packet. Or tiles, for a shop with forty items and no barcodes.

Held bills and multiple counters

Flow

Park a bill while a customer goes back for something, run three tills on one shop, and see all of them from the owner's phone.

Receipts, printed or not

Output

Thermal print over USB or Bluetooth, A4 for a party who needs it, or no printer at all — a WhatsApp bill with a UPI link, which most customers now prefer.

Kiosk and self-order

Flow

A customer-facing screen for a QSR counter, and a per-table QR for a restaurant. Same queue, same bill.

Token display

Flow

The number board for a counter where people wait. Runs on any spare tablet or TV with a browser.

Discounts, offers and returns

Money

Line and bill-level discounts with a cap on what a cashier may give, automatic offers, and returns that credit stock and books correctly.

Payments

Money

Cash, UPI with a per-invoice QR that reconciles itself, cards, wallets, gift cards, store credit and split payment across more than one of them.

What this will not do

It does not run a fiscal printer, and it is not certified for jurisdictions that require one. India does not; if you are reading this from somewhere that does, this is not yet your till.

Voice billing in a loud market with a ₹6,000 phone is good, not perfect. It is faster than typing for most shops and slower than a barcode for all of them — which is why the barcode is there too.

One plan. All of it.

Not a tier, not a trial. Start with one spoken sentence and see how far it goes before you decide anything.

One month, everything included. No card to start. Cancel inside the month and you are not billed.
