Do I need a special POS machine or licence?

No. Kashvi builds a POS app that runs on the web for your billing desk and as a real Android and iOS app for waiter phones, so any tablet or phone your staff already own works. There is no proprietary terminal to rent.

Will the bill handle GST correctly?

Yes. You describe your menu's tax rates and Kashvi generates per-item CGST and SGST splitting, so a bill mixing food and packaged items totals correctly and prints an invoice with your GSTIN.

Can it handle Swiggy and Zomato orders?

You can build in reconciliation so aggregator orders are recorded alongside your own dine-in and takeaway sales, and the day-end summary shows the split. Kashvi builds the flow; it does not replace the aggregator apps themselves.

How do UPI payments work?

Settlement supports UPI, card, and cash, including splitting one bill across guests. UPI is treated as a first-class payment mode because that is how most Indian diners now pay.

Do I actually own the code?

Yes. Kashvi gives you the full source and a real Postgres database. You can download everything and host it yourself, so your menu, margins, and daily sales are never locked inside another company's runtime.

What if a generation fails?

Kashvi uses transparent fair billing and refunds your credits when an AI generation fails, so a bad build never costs you.

Use case

Build a POS App for Your Restaurant or Cafe

Most restaurant POS software wants a locked terminal, a yearly licence, and a captain-tablet you can never move to a cheaper device. Kashvi flips that: you describe how your restaurant actually runs orders, and it builds a real point-of-sale app around your floor plan, your menu, and your GST setup. You get a live Postgres database, staff login for captains and cashiers, a working live preview, and the full source code to download and own. It runs on the web for the billing desk and as a real Android and iOS app for waiter phones, so a small dhaba, a QSR counter, or a 40-cover cafe can go live without buying proprietary POS hardware.

A restaurant POS is not just a shopping cart with tax on top. Service happens on tables, orders change mid-meal, the kitchen needs a printed or on-screen ticket the second an item is punched, and the bill has to split GST correctly across food and packaged items. Kashvi reads your prompt, plans that domain model, and generates the screens and the database together so a captain can open a table, fire a Kitchen Order Ticket, add a repeat round of chai, and settle by UPI in one flow.

What a restaurant floor actually needs

When you generate a POS with Kashvi, you are asking for the specific machinery that dine-in and takeaway service depend on. These are the pieces it builds into the schema and the UI rather than leaving you to bolt on later:

Table and section management: assign covers, merge or shift a table, and see which are running, billed, or free at a glance.
KOT flow: every punched item generates a Kitchen Order Ticket routed to the kitchen or bar, with modifiers like 'no onion' or 'extra spicy' carried through.
GST-correct billing: split CGST and SGST per item, handle a mix of GST rates across your menu, and print an invoice that will survive a tax query.
UPI and split settlement: settle a bill by UPI, card, or cash, split across guests, and reconcile Swiggy and Zomato aggregator orders against your own totals.
Menu and stock: mark an item '86'd' when the kitchen runs out, run happy-hour or thali pricing, and track fast-moving stock.
Day-end close: a shift and day summary a cashier can hand to the owner, with sales, GST collected, and payment-mode breakup.

How Kashvi builds it from a prompt

You type what your restaurant does in plain English. Kashvi drafts a plan, provisions a real Postgres database for tables, menu items, orders, KOTs, and payments, and wires up authentication so your captain, cashier, and manager each see the right screens. The live preview lets you punch a test order the same minute. Every generation is transparent under fair billing, and if an AI build fails, your credits are refunded rather than quietly burned. Because you download the full code, nothing about your menu, your margins, or your daily sales is trapped inside someone else's runtime.

Try: "Build a POS for a 30-table South Indian restaurant with dine-in and takeaway, KOT to the kitchen, per-item CGST/SGST, UPI and cash settlement, and a day-end sales report for the owner."

Try: "Cafe POS for counter service: quick-tap menu of coffees and sandwiches, modifiers, happy-hour pricing after 5pm, UPI-first checkout, and a loyalty punch card tied to a customer's phone number."

Try: "Cloud-kitchen POS that reconciles Swiggy and Zomato orders against direct WhatsApp orders, tracks prep time per KOT, and shows which items are the most profitable each day."

Each prompt produces a distinct app: the schema, the screens, and the reports change to match what you asked for. From there you keep editing in the same conversation, refine the flow, and ship the web billing desk plus the native waiter app when the floor is happy.
