Billing that keeps going when the internet does not.
ZaikaLab is an offline-first restaurant POS: a Windows till that keeps billing with no internet, a captain app for your waiters, kitchen tickets, GST-ready bills and an owner dashboard you can check from anywhere.

How it works
Up and billing in three steps
- Step 1
Set up the till
Install ZaikaLab on the Windows PC at your counter, then add your menu, tables, GST rates and printers.
- Step 2
Hand phones to your captains
Waiters take orders at the table on Android and send them to the till and the kitchen over your Wi-Fi.
- Step 3
Watch the day from anywhere
Sales sync to your owner dashboard whenever the internet is up. When it drops, nothing at the counter stops.
Features
Everything the counter, the floor and the kitchen run on
Built for Indian restaurants, where the connection drops at the busiest hour and the bill still has to be right.
A till that never waits for the internet
The Windows POS keeps every order, bill and kitchen ticket on the counter machine. A dropped connection is something you hear about later, not at the table.
Captain app for the floor
Waiters order from the table on Android phones. A phone that walks out of Wi-Fi range holds its orders and sends them in sequence when it is back.
Kitchen tickets that do not go missing
Every order becomes a kitchen ticket (KOT) sent through a print queue that keeps it until the printer has printed it, even across a restart.
GST-ready bills
Regular and composition schemes, tax-inclusive or exclusive prices, and invoice numbers in sequence for each financial year.
An owner dashboard
Check sales across your outlets from a phone or a laptop, synced from each till whenever it is online.
Staff sign in with their own role
Cashiers, captains and managers each get the access their job needs, and the till checks it before it acts.
