Restaurant POS & Billing Software Built for Your Kitchen
Restaurant billing software takes dine-in, takeaway and online orders, prints KOTs to the kitchen, generates GST bills, accepts UPI and cards, tracks ingredients and shows daily sales by outlet. Ready-made POS apps suit most single outlets; custom POS suits chains, cloud kitchens and unusual workflows. Kode Studio in Hyderabad builds both custom POS and online ordering.
| Orders | Dine-in tables, takeaway, delivery, online ordering website |
|---|---|
| Kitchen | KOT printing or kitchen display, order status |
| Billing | GST bills, discounts, split bills, UPI QR on bill |
| Inventory | Recipe-based ingredient deduction, wastage, purchase |
| Multi-outlet | Central menu and prices, outlet-wise reports |
| Typical cost | ₹1,50,000 – ₹6,00,000 (custom) |
Ready-made POS or custom software?
India has many good ready-made restaurant POS apps with monthly plans, and for a single café or restaurant with a standard menu they are usually the right choice. We say so honestly.
A custom POS makes sense when you run several outlets or brands from one kitchen, operate a cloud kitchen with your own ordering website, need recipe-level costing tied to central purchasing, want your online orders and loyalty in your own system rather than an aggregator’s, or have workflows a standard app can’t handle — for example catering orders, banquet bookings or franchise reporting.

Online ordering without aggregator commission
The same system can power your own online ordering website: customers order and pay by UPI, the order appears on the POS and prints a KOT, and you keep the customer’s number for loyalty offers. Aggregators still bring discovery; your own channel brings repeat orders without commission. See our guide to restaurant website design.
What if the internet goes down?
Billing must never stop during a rush. We design POS screens to keep working offline on the counter device and sync orders when the connection returns, with local KOT printing. Owners still see live sales on their phones whenever the outlet is online.

Hardware you will need
A typical outlet uses a Windows PC or Android tablet at the counter, a thermal bill printer, one or more kitchen printers (or a kitchen display screen), a cash drawer and Android phones for captains. We recommend hardware that matches your volume and test everything on site before going live. Existing printers and devices can usually be reused.
