What Indian restaurants get out of the box
Restaurant GST — 5% / 18% / liquor
GST 5% (no ITC) on most dine-in restaurants; 18% on premium / 5-star hotels; per-state excise on liquor handled separately. Auto-applied per item category.
Zomato / Swiggy commission reconciliation
Daily aggregator payouts reconcile against orders, commissions categorize separately, GST on commission tracked for ITC eligibility. Per-platform performance reports.
POS sync (PetPooja / Posist / inResto)
Daily-sales journals push from POS into HelloBooks — gross sales, GST collected, complimentary, discounts, KOT-level breakdown. Bank reconciliation closes in one click.
Food cost + kitchen labour variance
Prime cost reports (food + labour) vs target benchmarks. Daily flash reports flag when food or kitchen labour trends over budget mid-week.
FSSAI compliance tracker
License renewal dates, food safety inspection log, supplier FSSAI certificate expiry — tracked alongside the books so the compliance side stays in sight.
TDS on rent (Sec 194I)
Restaurant rents typically attract TDS at 10%. Computation, deduction, quarterly Form 26Q, and TDS certificate generation handled automatically.
Multi-outlet group reporting
Per-outlet P&L + consolidated group reporting. Inter-outlet transfers (central kitchen to satellite outlets) post automatically on both sides.
Razorpay / Cashfree / Paytm payment links
Native integrations — payment links for table billing, recurring corporate orders, takeaway. Gateway fees separate per transaction.
