Payments

Every payment checked.

When a guest shows a payment screenshot, staff just take a photo. AI reads the amount, the UTR and who was paid — and checks each one against the bill before the table is closed.

How it works

Real screens, from our demo restaurant.

Kiln House, Gurugram, is the restaurant we demo Nowish on. Its guests and figures are made up; the screens are the real thing.

  1. Settling Asha's table: bill KH-20422 for ₹3,224, paid by UPI, with a button to show the UPI QR for ₹3,224 and a photo of the payment to add.
    01

    Settle with two photos

    A photo of the bill, and a photo of how the guest paid — UPI screenshot, card slip, cash or bank transfer. Settle won't close until it adds up, or staff say why.

  2. Scan to pay: Kiln House's UPI QR for ₹3,224, table 11, bill KH-20422 — any UPI app, the amount already filled in.

    Your own UPI QR

    Settle shows your UPI QR with the bill's amount filled in, for the guest to scan — the money goes straight to your UPI ID. Nowish never takes or holds money.

  3. Closed bills for today: 16 bills, revenue, how guests paid, the guest rating and 14 that need a look.
    03

    Every bill, settled and checked

    Closed bills shows every bill — red where a guest was unhappy or complained, amber where something didn't add up.

  4. The leakage check: parties that ended but were never settled, each with a link to settle it.

    What didn't add up

    The leakage check lists settles where the bill or a payment didn't match the visit, with the reason staff gave — and parties started but never settled.

Working today

What it does

  • The amount matches the bill
  • The UTR has never been used before — one payment can't settle two bills
  • The money went to your UPI ID — if not, staff give a reason and the owner is alerted
  • Paid short? Settle won't close until staff pick a reason
  • Also checks card slips and app payments
  • Works alongside the billing system you already use
Questions

What owners ask

Does it work with my billing system?

Yes. Nowish works alongside the billing system you already use — it reads the printed bill from a photo, so nothing at your counter has to change.

Does Nowish handle the money?

No. Guests pay you directly. Nowish checks the payment against the bill; it never takes or holds money.

What if the internet is down?

Nowish needs mobile data or Wi-Fi. It works on any phone, and staff can type figures if a photo can't be read.
