Restaurant billing app
that works offline.

RestroBill is restaurant POS software that lives on a phone or tablet instead of a PC. Tap items off your menu, hit print, and a GST ready bill comes out of your thermal printer with your logo, payment QR and running bill number on it. Menu, bills and takings stay on the device, so the counter keeps moving when the internet does not.

Inside the app

Five screens. That's the whole app.

Built for one person behind a counter with a queue in front of them, so there is nothing to learn beyond where the buttons are.

The output

Tap print. Paper comes out.

The bill your customer walks away with is the whole point, so RestroBill builds it properly: your logo and payment QR as bitmaps, compliance numbers in the header, and columns sized to the paper you actually loaded.

  • Logo, address, GSTIN and FSSAI on every bill
  • Itemised lines with subtotal, GST and total
  • Static UPI QR stamped from your own image
  • Sequential bill number, date and time

Setup

Ten minutes, once.

First launch walks you through the whole thing: restaurant details, paper width, printer, menu. Every one of those stays editable in Settings, so a new printer or a price change is never a reinstall.

  • Name, address, GSTIN, FSSAI and GST rate
  • Upload your logo and payment QR image
  • Pick 58mm or 80mm paper
  • Connect the printer and fire a test print
The RestroBill first launch screen, introducing tap to bill, thermal printing and offline use.

Why it holds up

POS software built for the counter, not the boardroom

Most restaurant billing software is a desktop suite with a counter app bolted on. RestroBill starts at the counter, which is why it stays usable during a rush.

No internet, no problem

Menu, bills and settings live on the device. A dead connection never stops you billing a customer.

Any ESC/POS printer

Network, Bluetooth or USB, 58mm or 80mm. Switching printers is a setting, not a new build.

Numbers you can hand over

Day close, a monthly view, and a one-tap Excel export your accountant will actually accept.

History that stays true

Each bill keeps its own snapshot of names and prices, so raising a price never rewrites last month.

English and हिन्दी

The interface switches language in Settings, so whoever is on the counter can read it.

Custom items in a tap

Anything off-menu goes on the bill with a name and a price, without polluting your menu.

Who it suits

Billing software for every kind of food counter

RestroBill is counter POS software, not table service software. If the customer orders and pays at one point, it fits. If you need table numbers and running tabs, it does not, and we would rather say so here than after you have paid.

Restaurants and dhabas

The core case. One tablet at the counter, your full menu as buttons, a GST bill on 80mm paper in front of the customer before they have put their wallet away.

Cafes and coffee shops

Short menus, high repeat volume, small tickets. A phone works as coffee shop POS software here, and a 58mm roll keeps paper costs down.

Bakeries and sweet shops

Per item GST matters most here, because loose sweets and packaged boxes are taxed differently. Each menu item carries its own rate onto the same bill.

Fast food and QSR

Quick service is what the tap to bill screen was designed around. No table map to maintain, no order to assign, just items and print.

Bars and lounges

Works as bar POS software for counter service. It does not hold open tabs, so it suits pay as you order rather than settle at the end of the night.

Cloud kitchens and food trucks

Nowhere to put a PC and no reliable connection. A phone plus a 58mm Bluetooth printer is the whole POS system, and it bills with no signal at all.

Hardware

Thermal printers that work with RestroBill

RestroBill talks standard ESC/POS, so it works with most thermal receipt printers sold in India. The connection you choose matters more than the brand.

Printer Connectivity Approx. price Verdict
POSiFLOW KP307-UEWB (80mm) USB + LAN + WiFi + Bluetooth ₹4,800 Recommended
Epson TM-T82 / T82X USB + LAN ₹9,000–13,000 Premium pick
TVS RP 3220 / 3230 USB + LAN ₹6,000–9,000 Easy local service
58mm portable Bluetooth units Bluetooth only ₹1,500–3,000 Delivery use only

Prefer a wired connection

LAN over Ethernet is the most reliable path. The app simply talks to printer-ip:9100. WiFi uses the same code path and is a close second. Bluetooth is a fine fallback, and USB OTG is a last resort.

Watch the variant, not the model

Budget printers ship under one model name with very different ports. Confirm ESC/POS support and buy the variant that actually has LAN or WiFi. The USB-only "essential" version will tether you to a cable.

Download the app, set up your restaurant and load your menu without paying anything. Billing, printing, history and reports need an active subscription. Prices below include GST and are charged through Google Play or the App Store.

₹499 plus GST in India. $7 a month elsewhere. Cancel any time.

  • Every feature in the app

Prices outside India are set per country by Google Play and the App Store, so the figure you see at checkout is in your own currency and may differ slightly from a straight conversion of $7. The app always shows the real local price before you buy, never a converted one.

Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and are managed in your Google Play or Apple ID account settings. Creating a store account costs nothing. There is no separate RestroBill login to set up.

Questions

Straight answers

What the app does today, and what it deliberately does not do yet.

Does the app need internet?

Not to bill. Your menu, bills and settings live on the device and printing happens over your local network or a direct Bluetooth or USB link, so a dead connection never stops you serving a customer. The app does need to reach Google Play or the App Store occasionally to confirm the subscription, and it keeps working for two weeks between those checks.

Is RestroBill free restaurant billing software?

It is free to install and free to set up. Downloading the app, entering your restaurant details, connecting a printer and building your entire menu cost nothing, and there is no trial clock on that part. Producing a bill, printing it, opening bill history and viewing reports need a subscription: ₹589 a month or ₹5,900 a year in India, or $7 and $70 elsewhere, including GST. We would rather say that plainly than advertise free restaurant billing software and meter you later.

Does it work as POS software on an Android tablet?

Yes, and that is the setup we would recommend for a fixed counter. Any Android tablet running 8.0 or newer works as the till, and an 8 to 10 inch screen fits the menu grid comfortably. The same build runs on Android phones, iPhones and iPads, so a phone in a pocket can serve as backup POS software when the counter tablet is charging.

Can I use it in a cafe, bakery, bar or cloud kitchen?

Yes. RestroBill is counter POS software rather than table service software, so it fits any place where the customer orders and pays at one point: cafes and coffee shops, bakeries and sweet shops, bars, fast food and QSR counters, food trucks and cloud kitchens. Anything that needs table numbers, running tabs or kitchen order tickets is outside what this version does.

How is a billing app different from PC restaurant billing software?

Desktop restaurant billing software assumes a Windows machine, a monitor and a wired printer at a fixed counter, which is a few tens of thousands of rupees before you print a single bill. RestroBill runs on a phone or tablet you may already own and talks to the printer over WiFi, LAN, Bluetooth or USB. The trade-off is honest: you get portability and no PC to maintain, and you give up the large keyboard driven screens that a high volume restaurant sometimes prefers.

Does it print a GST compliant bill for an Indian restaurant?

It prints your restaurant name, address, GSTIN and FSSAI number in the header, then itemised lines, subtotal, GST at the rate you set, total, your payment QR and a sequential bill number with date and time. GST is calculated per item, so a 5 percent dish and a 12 percent packaged item sit on the same bill correctly. You supply the numbers and the rates; the app prints what you configure and is not a substitute for tax advice or a filing service.

Can I see reports from home?

Not in this version. Records live on the device, and you read them from the in-app dashboard or the Excel export. Cloud sync and a web dashboard are designed for later, and the data model already supports them.

Does it print kitchen tickets (KOT)?

Not yet. This version is built for quick-counter service, where the bill is the only printed document. KOT is a planned addition rather than a rewrite.

Can I run more than one outlet?

This version handles one restaurant per device. Multi-outlet is deliberately out of scope for now, though nothing in the design blocks it later.

What if I change a price later?

Old bills keep the prices they were printed with. Each bill stores its own snapshot of item names and amounts, so your history stays accurate when the menu moves on.

What device do I need?

Any Android phone or tablet running 8.0 or newer, or an iPhone or iPad running iOS 13 or newer. For a fixed counter, an inexpensive 8 to 10 inch Android tablet is the comfortable choice.

What happens if the printer jams or runs out of paper?

The bill is saved and numbered before anything is sent to the printer, so the record exists even if the paper does not. Load a fresh roll, open the bill from History and reprint it.

Can different dishes have different GST rates?

Yes. Tax rate is stored per menu item, so food and packaged goods on the same bill can be taxed differently. A default rate is set once during onboarding and individual items can override it.

Can I add a discount or a service charge?

Not in this version. A bill is items, subtotal, GST and total. If you need to knock money off, the custom item button accepts any name and amount, which covers the occasional adjustment without pretending to be a full discount engine.

Is any of my sales data sent to a server?

No. Your menu, bills and takings are stored in a local database on the device and are never uploaded. The only network call the app makes is to Google Play or the App Store to check that the subscription is active, which tells them nothing about your sales. Anything else leaves the device only when you export it to Excel or share it yourself.

How do I move to a new device?

Because everything is local, a new device means setting up the restaurant, menu and printer again. Export your bills to Excel first so the records survive the move. Automatic transfer arrives with cloud sync.

Can I change what appears on the printed bill?

The content is yours: restaurant name, address, GSTIN, FSSAI, logo, payment QR, GST rate and paper width are all settings. The layout itself is fixed, because column widths are what keep the bill readable on 58mm and 80mm paper.

What does it cost?

₹589 a month or ₹5,900 a year in India, both including GST, where the yearly plan works out at two months free. Outside India it is $7 a month or $70 a year, which is the same two months free. Installing the app, setting up your restaurant and building your menu are free; billing, printing, history and reports need an active subscription.

How do I cancel?

In your Google Play or Apple ID subscription settings, the same place every other app subscription lives. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends and it will not renew. Your bills stay on the device either way.

Does it work with a printer I already own?

If it speaks ESC/POS and exposes network, Bluetooth or USB, almost certainly. That covers most thermal receipt printers sold in India. Point the app at it and run a test print before your first customer.
