Kitchen display
The kitchen always knows what is next
Tickets arrive the moment a table orders, with add-ons and notes in red. The cook taps Start, then Ready, and the waiter sees it. Late tickets turn red on their own.
- KOT prints at the right station
- Add-ons, notes and timers on every ticket
- A status board for guests: preparing and ready
Stock and recipes
Every plate sold takes its recipe out of stock
Give a dish its recipe once. From then on each sale draws its milk, butter and coffee from stock, and anything running low goes on a purchase order you send to the supplier on WhatsApp.
- A recipe for each dish, set once
- Receive from suppliers, count the shelf, log waste
- Use-first list for anything that expires
- Reports: what sells fast, what sits, what goes missing
When the internet drops
The counter keeps billing without the internet
Bills are saved on the counter device while the line is down and sync the moment it is back, with the same bill numbers. Nobody stands around waiting for the network.
- Bills, KOTs and payments keep working
- One bill series, no duplicates on sync
- Works on a laptop, tablet or phone
Order updates from your own number
Guests get their confirmation and "ready" message on WhatsApp under your café’s name, and their replies come to you.
- Your number, your name on every message
- Replies land on your phone and in the dashboard

What these terms actually mean
- What is a Restaurant Management System (RMS)?
- A Restaurant Management System (RMS) — also called a restaurant POS or point-of-sale — is software that handles orders, billing, menu management and payments for a food-service business. A modern RMS like HimLocal goes beyond a cash register: it accepts QR-code table orders from guests' own phones, fires kitchen tickets to a Kitchen Display System (KDS), manages dine-in, takeaway and online orders from one screen, generates GST-compliant bills and settles payments to your own bank account. Unlike large food-delivery aggregator apps that take a high cut of every order and own the customer relationship, an RMS lets restaurants keep their margin and their customer data.
- What is a Kitchen Display System (KDS)?
- A Kitchen Display System (KDS) is a screen — typically a tablet or monitor — mounted in the kitchen that replaces paper kitchen order tickets (KOTs). When a waiter takes an order or a guest orders via QR code, the KDS shows the ticket instantly with item details, modifiers (e.g. “no onion”), special instructions and a timer. Colour-coded SLA alerts turn tickets amber then red as they age, so nothing is missed during a rush. The chef marks each ticket as cooking then ready, triggering the service staff. A KDS eliminates lost paper tickets, miscommunication and delays — and gives the owner real data on prep times and kitchen efficiency. HimLocal's KDS runs on any tablet and works fully offline.
FAQ
Common questions
What is the best restaurant management software in India?
HimLocal RMS is an all-in-one restaurant system with QR-code table ordering, a kitchen display system (KDS), GST billing, menu management, coupons and analytics. It is ₹5,000/year for the full suite — staff accounts and stock management included, not paid add-ons. Your walk-in and own online orders are always commission-free; only orders that come through the himlocal.com marketplace carry a low 5–10%.
Can HimLocal build a website for my restaurant or café in India?
Yes. Your restaurant plan includes a complete website — menu, QR table codes, online ordering and GST invoices — for ₹5,000/year (a launch price, locked 5 years). Advanced customisations (bespoke design, multi-location menus, custom integrations) are quoted separately.
How much does a restaurant website cost in India?
A HimLocal restaurant website is ₹5,000/year — menu upload, branding, Razorpay wired, QR codes generated and SEO configured. That is a launch price, locked for 5 years. Staff accounts and inventory management are included, not sold as separate add-ons.
How much does restaurant POS software cost?
HimLocal RMS is ₹5,000/year for the full suite, with staff seats and inventory included. Payments are 1.8% UPI + GST, settled to your own account. There is also a one-time ₹30,000 offline edition that runs on laptop, tablet and mobile with no internet.
Does the RMS track stock and recipes?
Yes. Give each dish its recipe once and every sale takes its ingredients out of stock. Receive deliveries from suppliers, count the shelf, log waste, see what expires first, and send purchase orders to suppliers on WhatsApp. Stock reports show what sells fast, what sits and what goes missing.
Do I need hardware for QR ordering?
No. Guests scan a QR code at the table and order from their own phone — no app, no extra hardware. Orders land straight on your live board and kitchen display.
Does it work outside the Himalayas?
Yes. HimLocal RMS is built in the Himalayas but runs as pure SaaS for restaurants anywhere in India.
Is there any commission?
Your walk-in orders and orders on your own website are always 0% commission — you keep 100%. A 5–10% commission applies only to orders that come through the himlocal.com marketplace, which is the channel bringing you new customers.
