Features
Everything a dine-in restaurant needs, in one system
No bolt-ons, no separate POS. MenuToPay owns the order from the moment a guest scans to the GST invoice they walk away with.
Scan-to-order at every table
Each table gets a unique QR. Guests scan, see your menu with photos, add items with a tap, and place the order — no app, no waiting for a captain.
- Per-table QR codes you print yourself
- Menu photos, veg/non-veg marks, live availability
- Running tab across multiple rounds
Kitchen Display System
Orders land on a live board the moment they are placed, with an alert chime. Route tickets to Kitchen, Bar and Dessert stations and bump them through prep.
- Station routing and per-line states
- Works offline — actions queue and replay
- Honest prep-time stats
Diners pay you directly
The bill screen shows a UPI QR that pays your bank account. MenuToPay never touches the money and takes no commission. Staff confirm receipt to close the table.
- Your own UPI ID — money lands with you
- Guests pay by UPI or cash; staff confirm each one
- No payment gateway, no settlement wait
GST tax invoices, automatically
Every closed table produces a proper GST invoice — sequential number by financial year, HSN/SAC, CGST/SGST split, your GSTIN and FSSAI.
- Indian FY numbering series per branch
- Printable invoice the diner can view
- Tips shown separately, not taxed
Stop leakage at the counter
Staff can’t quietly cancel a paid order and keep the cash. Every cancellation needs a reason and the right role, is logged permanently, and any bill where money came in but the order went away is flagged for the owner.
- Owner-only cancellation once a bill has any payment
- Kitchen flags an item void, Owner/Manager approves
- Payment-mismatch report and live payment alerts to Owner/Manager
Rooms and restaurant on one bill
Run a lodge or a few attached rooms? Manage room types, check-in and checkout from the same login. Whatever the guest orders from your restaurant lands on their room bill — they settle once and get one GST invoice.
- Room types with nightly rate, occupancy and room GST rate
- Front-desk board: check-in with ID proof, extend stay, checkout
- Housekeeping status — rooms flip to dirty after checkout
Live inventory with recipes
Set what one serving of each dish uses, and every paid bill takes its ingredients off your stock automatically. See food cost per dish, how many more servings you can make, and how much went missing at your last stock count.
- Recipe-based stock deduction on every paid bill
- Food cost % per dish from your purchase prices
- Usage vs. stock count — spot pilferage and over-portioning
One chain, many branches
Add outlets under one account. Each branch has its own QR links, menu, stock and invoice series; staff are scoped to a branch; owners switch between them and see head-office analytics.
- Per-branch menus with copy-across
- Branch-scoped staff and roles
- Roll-up analytics across all outlets
Zomato & Swiggy orders, one kitchen
Key in a delivery-app order in seconds and it lands on the same kitchen display as your dine-in tables — no more handwritten KOTs from the tablet. GST is handled the way the law says: the platform pays it under Section 9(5), and your GSTR-1 export reports these orders in Table 14. Upload the payout report to see the commission you really paid.
- Zomato, Swiggy and own-delivery orders on one board and one KDS
- Section 9(5) GST handled — Table 14 and Tally ready
- Payout reconciliation: commission %, unpaid and missing orders
Ready for your CA — and Tally
Download a GSTR-1 summary (rate-wise B2C sales, HSN summary, documents issued), a sales register, and daily Tally vouchers that import straight into TallyPrime — built from your GST invoices exactly as issued.
- GSTR-1 Tables 7, 12 and 13 per branch GSTIN
- One Tally voucher per day: sales by rate, CGST/SGST, cash / UPI / card
- Use your accountant’s own ledger names
Analytics that matter
Orders, revenue, average order value, payment success, median and p90 prep time, busiest hours, top items and station load — with CSV export.
- Dine-in vs takeaway breakdown
- Prep-time percentiles
- Guest star ratings after payment
- Orders / payments CSV export
Menus in your guests’ language
Add translations for each dish in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Guests switch language from the menu header, and kitchen staff can read KDS tickets in theirs.
- English + 5 Indian languages
- Menu search works in the chosen language
- Untranslated dishes fall back to English
Bills on WhatsApp, and a guest list
Guests can leave their mobile number on the bill screen. When the bill is paid, your staff send it to them on WhatsApp with one tap, from your own number. Every number builds your guest list: who your regulars are, how often they come and what they spend.
- One-tap WhatsApp bill from your phone — no per-message charges
- Guest list with visits, spend and last visit
- Separate opt-in for offers, with a CSV of opted-in guests
Loyalty rewards that bring regulars back
Set a simple rule — say every 5th visit gets 10% off. Guests see their visits fill up on the bill screen, and on the rewarded visit staff tap Apply: the discount is calculated for them and shows on the GST invoice. Then message the guests you’re missing, straight from WhatsApp.
- Visit stamps on the guest’s own bill screen
- Reward checked and calculated automatically — staff can’t invent one
- Win-back lists: regulars, missing-you, top spenders, reward-next-visit
Takeaway, tips and separate bills
A separate takeaway link with pickup times and a packing charge — takeaway orders reach the kitchen only once they’re paid. Diners can add a tip, and unrelated parties sharing a table each get their own bill.
- Takeaway QR with pickup time and packing charge
- Optional tip, kept out of GST
- Separate bill per party, or invite friends onto one bill
Staff app and receipt printing
Your team runs MenuToPay from the Android app or any browser. Connect a thermal printer and the GST invoice can print automatically the moment a bill is paid.
- Android app for owners, managers, captains and kitchen
- 58mm / 80mm thermal printer support
- Auto-print invoice on payment, per branch
