Built for Restaurant & F&B
Restaurants and cloud kitchens need rapid billing, kitchen-linked consumption, and multi-outlet menus—not desktop ERP built for factories. ExcelBills supports fast POS tickets, recipe-aware inventory depletion, and GST on food services.
Restaurants and cloud kitchens lose tables when billing is slow and lose margin when kitchen inventory is disconnected from menu sales. ExcelBills restaurant workflows cover touch POS for dine-in and takeaway, raw material purchase, outlet-wise menus, and GST on food services. Multi-outlet brands sync pricing from HQ while each kitchen tracks consumption against sales trends.
Operator guide
Restaurant margin leaks in kitchen waste and billing queues equally. Menu engineering without sales-linked consumption data is guesswork—purchase raw materials with outlet attribution. Peak lunch needs POS favorites and kitchen ticket speed, not accounting screens. Multi-outlet brands must control menu price centrally while allowing local supply variance. GST on services and input on purchases should reconcile monthly with outlet-wise sales register. Cash drawer EOD by outlet catches leakage early. Cloud kitchen and dine-in can share procurement with separate revenue centers. Compare raw purchase to sales by outlet weekly. Standardize EOD cash procedure across kitchens. Document SOPs for billing, GRN, and EOD reconciliation in local language where helpful. Review industry KPIs monthly with team leads—not only at tax filing. Use ExcelBills demo and pilot branch before network-wide mandate. Link industry workflows to feature pages for GST, inventory, POS, and procurement training paths.

Operational workflows
Billing workflow
Dine-in table or takeaway ticket → menu category browse → combo and modifier billing → KOT-style thermal print → UPI/card/cash → GST on food services. Multi-outlet menus sync from HQ; outlet cannot silently change base price without role permission.
Inventory workflow
Raw material purchase to central kitchen → recipe-linked depletion on item sale (foundation) → outlet-only billing for finished goods → daily wastage entry where needed → owner compares consumption to sales by outlet.
GST workflow
Restaurant service tax lines on outward register; input tax on raw material purchases in procurement. Monthly summary per outlet for franchise reporting and CA filing.
Purchase workflow
Vendor PO for vegetables, dairy, packaging → GRN at kitchen → vendor bill with ITC → payables aligned to supplier credit → outlet requisitions from kitchen stock.
Reporting workflow
Peak-hour ticket count; average bill value; outlet-wise daily sales; raw material purchase vs revenue; cash drawer variance at EOD.
