Scan. Order. Kitchen gets the KOT.

No waiting for the captain, no wrong orders on paper. Guests order from their own phone — at the table or from their room — and your team stays in control of what reaches the kitchen.

Bills that make sense

The bill follows the guest, not the table

Each QR bill belongs to the guest. Change tables, come down from the room, or share a table with another group — nobody's bill gets mixed up.

Changed tables

Ravi moves from Table 3 to Table 7 and orders again — his bill moves with him and Table 3 is free.

Two groups, one table

Each group orders on its own bill. The table shows "2 bills" on the board.

Room to restaurant

Ordered room service, then came down for dinner? Same bill, still charged to the room.

Left without the bill

The bill stays open on the board until staff settle it.

Merge bills

Two friends at different tables want one bill? Merge them — KOTs stay as they were.

Split a bill

Move some items, or 1 of 3 teas, to a new bill on the same table. Bill each separately.

Not available

Item finished in the kitchen? Remove it before accepting; the guest sees it on their phone.

Supplier bills? Just take a photo.

Photo or PDF of a vegetable, grocery or dairy bill → StayDesk reads the supplier, bill number, date, total and GST, picks the category and attaches the bill. It even warns you if the same bill was already entered.

Why resorts want one system for rooms and the restaurant

Most Indian resorts and hotels with a restaurant run two systems: a PMS for rooms and a separate billing software, or a bill book, for food. Every evening someone carries restaurant slips to the front desk and adds them to the guest's room by hand. Slips go missing, guests dispute charges at checkout, and the two sets of numbers never quite match.

StayDesk's Restaurant POS removes the second system. The restaurant takes orders on a laptop, PC or tablet, the kitchen gets a printed KOT, and the cashier prints a proper GST bill. When the diner is staying with you, the bill goes straight onto their room and appears on the checkout invoice with the right GST.

Outside customers are billed the same way, with cash, UPI, card or split payments. Regulars can pay later on credit, and you can see exactly who owes what. At the end of the day, one report shows restaurant sales by item, payment mode and staff, and the restaurant's cash joins your monthly closing.

Sound familiar?

  • The restaurant uses one billing software and the rooms another
  • Guests' meals are written on slips and added to the room bill by hand
  • Kitchen orders are shouted or written on paper, and items get missed
  • Regular local customers eat on credit and nobody knows who owes what
  • GST on food bills is calculated differently by each cashier
  • At month end the restaurant cash never matches the books
New · QR ordering from tables & rooms

Guests order from their phone. Rooms and food, one bill.

Guests scan the QR on the table or in their room and order themselves. Staff accept, the KOT prints, and in-house meals go straight to the room bill — counter, tables, GST bills and credit in the same software.

  1. 1
    Guest orders — or staff take it
    Guests order from the table or room QR; staff can still tap items for a table or the counter.
  2. 2
    Accept & send the KOT
    One tap accepts the QR order and prints the kitchen ticket. Only new items go to the kitchen.
  3. 3
    Bill and settle
    Print the GST bill, then take cash, UPI, card, split — or put it on credit or the guest's room.

Paid add-on for any plan — only for properties that run a restaurant, café or bar.

Counter and table billing

Quick counter bills for walk-in customers, or open a table, keep adding items and bill at the end. The table board shows who's waiting.

Kitchen tickets (KOT)

Send new items to the kitchen with notes like "less spicy". Each KOT prints on your thermal printer; extra rounds get their own KOT.

Charge to the guest's room

In-house guest ate at the restaurant? Put the bill on their room. It shows on the checkout bill with the right GST — no separate slips.

Credit customers

Regular outside customers can pay later. See who owes what, record part payments and send a WhatsApp reminder.

GST bills done right

CGST/SGST split by item rate, prices with or without GST, discounts, service charge and round off. Own GSTIN and bill series per outlet if you need it.

QR ordering — tables & rooms

Guests scan the QR and order from their phone. Staff accept with one tap and the KOT prints. Room service orders go to the room bill.

Bills follow the guest

Guest changed tables? Their bill moves with them. Merge two bills, or split items into a separate bill.

Daily sales report

Sales by item, category, payment mode and staff, GST by rate, credit given and room charges. Restaurant cash joins your monthly closing.

Made for properties that serve food

Resort restaurants

Guests and day visitors at the same restaurant — guest bills go to the room, visitors pay at the counter.

Hotel with a separate restaurant

The restaurant can have its own name, bill series and even its own GSTIN on the bill.

Café, bar or pool-side counter

Add each as an outlet with its own menu. One login, separate bills and reports.

Homestays serving meals

No tables needed — just quick counter bills, and add meals to the guest's stay.

How it fits your day

Menu from your product list

Add dishes with price, GST % and veg / non-veg. The same list powers QR ordering, room service and room charges.

Any thermal or A4 printer

KOTs and bills print through the browser on 58 mm or 80 mm thermal printers, or on A4. Works on a laptop, PC or tablet.

Staff see only what they need

Captains take orders and print KOTs, cashiers settle bills, managers cancel and see reports. Set it per role.

One bill at checkout

Room nights, extra beds and every restaurant bill charged to the room appear together on the guest's final invoice.

A simple add-on, only if you need it

The Restaurant POS is a paid add-on for any StayDesk plan, so properties without a restaurant don't pay for it. We help you set up your outlets, menu, tables and printer. Ask us for the price for your plan.

The restaurant is one part of StayDesk

Reservations, front desk, GST billing, OTAs and reports in one place.

Store & Point of Sale

Track consumables and assets in your own categories, with low-stock alerts and a record of what was used in which room or department. Run several storerooms — kitchen, bar, housekeeping — and move stock between them (Growth & Pro).

Log expenses paid now or bought on credit. See what you owe each vendor, pay several bills in one go, and keep a running ledger per vendor.

Smart Reports

Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, collections and P&L — know what drives your revenue.

Add your team with role-based permissions — front desk, housekeeping, managers — so each person sees only what they need.

Restaurant POS (add-on)

Bill your restaurant from StayDesk: counter and table orders, kitchen tickets (KOT), GST bills on a thermal printer, charge to the guest's room, credit customers, merge / split bills and QR ordering from tables and rooms.

Restaurant POS for hotels — FAQ

Is the Restaurant POS part of StayDesk or separate software?+

It's part of StayDesk — the same login, the same guests and the same reports. It's a paid add-on, so you only pay for it if you run a restaurant, café or bar. Ask us for the price for your plan.

Can outside customers who are not staying with us be billed?+

Yes. Counter and table bills work for anyone. Take cash, UPI, card or split payments. Add a name and mobile if you like, so regulars are recognised and can pay later on credit.

How does charging a meal to the guest's room work?+

When settling the bill, choose "Charge to room" and pick the checked-in guest. The bill is added to their stay with the correct GST and shows on the checkout bill. If you cancel the restaurant bill, the room charge is removed too.

Does it print kitchen tickets (KOT)?+

Yes. When you send items to the kitchen, a KOT prints with the table, items, quantities and notes like "less spicy". If the table orders more later, only the new items go on the next KOT.

Which printers work?+

Any printer your computer can print to: 58 mm and 80 mm thermal receipt printers, or a normal A4 printer. StayDesk formats the KOT and bill for the paper size you choose.

How is GST calculated on restaurant bills?+

Each item carries its own GST rate, and the bill shows CGST and SGST for each rate. Menu prices can include GST or have it added on the bill. Discounts and service charge are handled before tax. Check the right GST rate for your restaurant with your CA.

Our restaurant has a different GST number from the rooms. Is that okay?+

Yes. Each outlet can have its own business name, GSTIN, FSSAI number and bill series. Leave them blank to use the property's details.

Can guests order from the QR menu?+

Yes. Guests scan the QR on their table (or in their room for room service), choose items and place the order from the phone's browser — no app. The order pops up on the restaurant screen with a sound; staff accept it and the KOT prints. You can switch ordering on or off and set ordering hours.

What stops wrong or prank orders?+

Nothing reaches the kitchen until your staff accept it. Staff can mark any item as not available before accepting. Obviously fake mobile numbers are refused, and staff confirm the number when taking payment.

A guest changed tables. Do they get two bills?+

No. The bill belongs to the guest (their mobile number or room), so when they order from another table their open bill moves with them. Staff can also move, merge or split bills any time.

Can guests pay from their phone?+

Not yet. Outside guests pay at the counter by cash, UPI or card; in-house guests' bills go to their room and are paid at checkout.

Can we give credit to regular customers?+

Yes. Put part or all of a bill on a customer's credit. The Customers page shows who owes what, with a statement for each customer, and you can record payments or send a WhatsApp reminder.
