GST accounting, built for restaurants
Turn tables faster and close the day cleanly. LekhaPro bills on an 80mm thermal printer, applies the right GST on food service, tracks item-wise sales, and gives you a day-end summary that matches the till.
What gets in the way today
Billing slows the floor at peak
Slow, fiddly billing backs up tables and waiters during the rush, when speed matters most.
You do not know what actually sells
Without item-wise sales, the menu runs on instinct and slow dishes keep taking up the kitchen and the menu card.
Day-end never quite reconciles
Cash, card and UPI collections, plus the odd void and discount, are hard to tie back to the day’s sales by hand.
How LekhaPro fits your work
Every capability below is built in — offline-first, GST-correct by construction, and posted to a real double-entry ledger.
Fast 80mm POS billing
Punch in orders and print 80mm thermal bills quickly, with GST on food service applied automatically so the floor keeps moving.
Item-wise sales insight
See what sells and what does not, by item and by day, so you can tune the menu and the kitchen around real demand.
Correct GST on food service
Bills apply the right GST treatment for restaurant service, so your sales register is compliant and GSTR-ready by construction.
Ingredient stock with low-stock alerts
Track key ingredients and supplies with reorder levels, so you are warned before a popular dish runs out mid-service.
Day-end summary that ties out
Every bill posts to a real ledger, so cash, card and UPI collections reconcile against the day’s sales at close.

Questions restaurants ask
Is the billing fast enough for a busy service?
Yes. It bills on an 80mm thermal printer and runs fully offline, so the floor keeps moving even at peak and even if the internet drops.
Does it apply the right GST on restaurant bills?
Yes. Bills apply the correct GST treatment for food service and post to a real sales register, so your books stay GSTR-ready.
Can I see which menu items sell best?
Yes. Item-wise sales reports show what sells by item and by day, so you can tune the menu and the kitchen around real demand.
Is there a dedicated Restaurants pack, or is this the general product?
There is a dedicated pack: Retail POS. It ships as a real application rather than a renamed field set — Counters and shifts, split tenders and day-end close. Table plans and KOT routing are not part of it. It runs over the same double-entry books as everything else, so nothing about your ledger changes when you switch it on.
Which edition should a restaurants business choose?
The Cloud edition. Retail POS is a Cloud Suite application, so the depth described on this page is not in the Desktop edition. The Desktop edition still runs your books, GST and stock offline — it just does not carry this pack.
What does LekhaPro give a restaurants business specifically?
Quick 80mm POS billing, item-wise sales, correct GST on food service and a tidy day-end summary. Concretely: fast 80mm POS billing, item-wise sales insight, correct GST on food service and ingredient stock with low-stock alerts — every one of them a working screen described in full further up this page, not a roadmap item.
What problems does this actually solve?
The ones this trade runs into rather than the ones that demo well: billing slows the floor at peak, you do not know what actually sells and day-end never quite reconciles. Each is set out with its cause above, because a business recognising its own problem in writing is worth more than a feature list it has to translate.
What does a normal day look like once it is running?
In order: open service with offline billing and the thermal printer ready., punch orders and print 80mm bills as tables order, GST applied automatically., take cash, card or UPI; each payment posts to the ledger. and keep an eye on ingredient low-stock alerts during the rush.. It is one sequence in one application, which is the point — the alternative is the same day spread over a billing tool, a spreadsheet and an accountant's inbox.
Can I move across from what I use today?
Masters and opening balances come across; transaction history does not. There is no automated Tally import yet — it is on the roadmap, and we would rather say so than oversell it. You start clean on a date you choose and keep the old system as a read-only archive, which is why most businesses switch at the start of a financial year or quarter.
What happens when the internet goes down?
This pack is Cloud, so it needs a connection. That is a real constraint and worth weighing: if trading has to continue through an outage, the Desktop edition runs the books, billing and stock entirely offline — without the pack-specific screens on this page.
