The owner's Today dashboard: Rs 73,437 taken today over 7 bills, with sales by hour peaking at 17:00

From the first order to the closing count.

  1. 01

    Seat them

    Lay out your floors and tables once. After that the floor shows which tables are free, how long the seated ones have been waiting and what they have run up.

    • Counter sales and table service
    • Move an order to another table
    • Covers per table
    The floor: the counter and tables T1 to T3, one free, one seated for 12 minutes at Rs 680, one with 2 orders ready
  2. 02

    Send it to the kitchen

    Tap items off your menu to build the order and send it. The kitchen gets a ticket per table and ticks lines off as they go out.

    • Kitchen tickets by station
    • A note on any line, like less spicy
    • Ready shows on the floor
    An order for a table: chowmein, lemon tea and pakoda sent to the kitchen, above menu tiles from sel roti to milk coffee

    Bill it properly

    Service charge, 13% VAT and round-off are worked out for you. Every bill gets an invoice number, and the buyer's name and PAN go on it when they ask.

    • Cash, QR or credit, with change worked out
    • Split a bill, void a line with a reason, issue a credit note
    • Print on an 80mm roll or A4 through the phone's print dialog, or share it
    A bill: subtotal Rs 280, service charge Rs 28, VAT Rs 40.04, payable Rs 348, with buyer name and PAN fields
  4. 04

    Close the day

    Money in and out lands in the day book as it happens, so the drawer and the phone agree at closing. The owner sees how today went before asking anyone.

    • Cash book, purchases and suppliers
    • Sales by item, VAT summary, stock, profit and loss
    • Dates in Bikram Sambat
    The day book: money in Rs 1,650 and out Rs 2,780.50, with an invoice, a gas cylinder expense, a customer collection and a purchase

And the rest of the shop.

Already on Chiya Connect? Claim your shop.

Players check in at tea shops that are already listed. Find yours in the app, send your business registration or PAN, and once our team checks it the listing is yours.

From then on you keep its menu and photos up to date, and the regulars who check in are the people you are billing.

What it does not do yet.

  • It does not sync bills to IRD or CBMS. The invoices carry your PAN and VAT for your own filing.
  • It does not take card or QR payments itself. You record how the customer paid; the money goes straight to you.
  • There is no barcode scanning. Items are picked from your menu.

Put your counter on it.

Connect for Biz is in testing with its first tea shops. Questions first? The support page has the common ones.
