Why F&B operators switch to AskBooks
Three pains every restaurant owner recognises — and how we kill them permanently.
KOT chaos at peak hour
Verbal orders get lost. Captain writes on paper. Kitchen makes the wrong dish. Guest complains. Table 7 waits 40 minutes for starters.
AskBooks fix
Captain taps the order on tablet — KOT prints at the correct station in under 2 seconds. Modifiers and special instructions printed clearly. No verbal relay, no missed items.
Aggregator payout never matches books
Zomato settles ₹1.84 lakh. You expected ₹2.1 lakh. 3 hours trying to reconcile commissions, TCS, packaging, and cancellations in a spreadsheet.
AskBooks fix
Every Zomato/Swiggy/Magicpin settlement statement is automatically reconciled against your orders. Commission, TCS, platform fee, and cancelled order refunds mapped to the rupee — in 30 seconds.
No recipe-level costing
Chicken prices rose 20% last quarter. You have no idea which dishes are now loss-making. Menu prices haven't changed. Owner is running blind.
AskBooks fix
Recipe BOM links raw materials to every dish. When you record a chicken purchase at a new rate, food cost % for every chicken dish updates instantly. You see which items to reprice before margin disappears.
Features
From kitchen to books — nothing manual
Every order, every plate, every aggregator rupee — accounted for automatically.
Drag-and-Drop Floor Plan
Build your dining layout visually — tables, sections, outdoor, private rooms. Track occupancy, turn time, and cover count in real-time from any device.
KOT to Multiple Stations
Map menu categories to specific kitchen printers — mains to hot station, drinks to bar, desserts to pastry. KOTs print only at the right station with modifiers and chef notes.
Recipe Costing (BOM per Dish)
Define raw-material quantities per portion. Food cost % updates live as purchase prices change. Know your exact margin on Butter Chicken before you price the menu.
Aggregator Order Import
Zomato, Swiggy, and Magicpin orders flow directly into your kitchen screen — no manual entry, no missed orders. Order acknowledgement auto-confirms to the platform.
Payout Reconciliation
Aggregator settlement statements reconciled against your books automatically. Commission, TCS, packaging charges, and platform fees broken out line by line.
Table Billing & Split
Split bills by item, by cover, or equally. Transfer items between tables. Comp items with approval. Service charge, CGST/SGST, and CESS auto-calculated.
Daily Z-Report & Menu Engineering
End-of-day report shows sales by section, by server, and by aggregator channel. Menu engineering view flags Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, and Dogs by gross margin.
Multi-Outlet Roll-Up
Own 3 outlets or 30? Consolidated P&L across all locations updated daily. Channel-wise performance — dine-in vs Zomato vs Swiggy — for every outlet in one screen.
Shift & Cash Management
Open and close shifts with opening cash entry. Petty cash tracking. Channel-wise payout expected vs received. Z-report generated and emailed to owner automatically.
How it works

Captain takes order on tablet
Captain selects table, taps menu items, adds modifiers and chef notes. Order sent in one tap.

Hot dishes to kitchen, cocktails to bar, desserts to pastry — simultaneously, in under 2 seconds.
Table bill generated
When guest asks for bill: service charge, GST, and any comp items applied. Split payment across modes.

Integrations
Every aggregator. Every payment mode.
Orders flow in. Settlements reconcile. Books update. You just cook.
“We run 4 brands out of one kitchen. Before AskBooks, aggregator reconciliation took my accountant 3 days every month. Now it takes 10 minutes — and it's right every time.”

Common questions
How does Zomato/Swiggy reconciliation work?
Connect your Zomato Partner and Swiggy Restaurant Dashboard accounts. AskBooks fetches settlement statements and matches each payout against your order records. Commission, TCS (Tax Collected at Source), packaging charges, and cancellation adjustments are broken out line by line. You see the exact delta — and why it exists — in seconds.
Can I print KOTs to multiple printers simultaneously?
Yes. Map menu categories to any number of ESC/POS printers. A single order from T4 can simultaneously print mains at the hot kitchen, drinks at the bar, and desserts at the pastry station — each with only the relevant items. Modifiers, quantities, and special instructions print clearly at each station.
How does recipe costing work for a multi-outlet chain?
Define recipes at the master menu level. Individual outlets can override portion sizes for local variations. When you record a raw material purchase at any outlet, the food cost % for affected dishes updates across that outlet's menu. Consolidated food cost % rolls up to the chain P&L view in real time.
Does it work for cloud kitchens with multiple brands?
Yes — designed for multi-brand cloud kitchens. Each brand gets its own menu, its own Zomato/Swiggy listings, and its own P&L. Inventory is pooled at the kitchen level. You see which virtual brand is most profitable, which aggregator channel drives the most margin, and where your kitchen capacity is going.
What happens to reservations and pre-orders?
Table reservations can be created with guest name, cover count, and time slot. Reserved tables show on the floor plan with a clock icon. Walk-ins are assigned to free or reserved tables. Pre-orders (e.g. Eid special thali) can be created as advance orders with prepayment recorded against the booking.
