Cloud Kitchen Bookkeeping & Accounting AI bookkeeping for cloud kitchens: multi-brand P&L, Swiggy/Zomato/ONDC settlement reconciliation, commissary tracking & reports. Start free—no card.

HelloBooks.ai is cloud-kitchen accounting software built for the exact operating model that defines modern delivery-only kitchens — multiple virtual brands running out of one stove, multiple aggregators sharing the same KOT queue, a central commissary feeding several outlets, and razor-thin margins after Swiggy and Zomato take their cut. Unlike generic restaurant accounting tools that assume one location and one menu, our cloud-kitchen bookkeeping platform tracks orders by brand, food-cost percentage live across brands, aggregator commission impact per channel, and a live brand-level P&L so a 30-brand, 10-outlet operator can see exactly which virtual brand is printing money and which one is silently subsidising the kitchen.

On the operational side, HelloBooks auto-imports settlement reports from Swiggy, Zomato, ONDC, and direct-channel apps, splits every line into GMV, commission, GST withheld, collection charges, and net payout, then matches the bank credit to the settlement with one click — replacing the Monday-morning spreadsheet reconciliation that swallows operator weekends. Allocation rules split shared kitchen rent, central-commissary labour, packaging, and utilities across virtual brands using configurable splits (order-volume share, GMV share, prep-time weighting) so each brand carries its fair share of overhead and a clean EBITDA falls out. For Indian cloud kitchens, GST output on aggregator sales, ITC on raw material and packaging purchases, TCS reconciliation under section 52, and FSSAI-compliant batch and ingredient tracking are wired in; the chart of accounts ships with Aggregator Commission, Packaging, Kitchen Labour, and Direct Channel Sales as first-class lines.

What makes HelloBooks different from QuickBooks, Tally, or a manual POS-plus-Excel stack for cloud kitchens is the brand-level investor reporting depth: each virtual brand has its own GMV, food cost, aggregator commission, packaging cost, allocated kitchen and labour cost, and EBITDA margin, computed daily and exportable as a monthly investor pack with one click. AI alerts fire when a brand's food cost crosses threshold, an aggregator's effective commission jumps after a promo, or an outlet's wastage variance signals pilferage. Cloud-kitchen operators get the bookkeeping platform that finally matches how cloud kitchens actually work — multi-brand, multi-channel, commission-heavy, and allocation-aware from day one.
