Purchases

You pay only for what comes through the gate.

The chef asks for supplies. The store approves and sends the order to the vendor on WhatsApp. The gate weighs every crate and photographs the challan — in Hindi, with big buttons. Then the invoice is checked against what actually arrived.

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. The chef's new request: 2 kg tomato and 3 kg onion from Green Basket Traders, needed by 10 AM tomorrow.
    01

    The chef asks

    What the kitchen needs and by when, from your own item list. It goes to the store as one purchase per vendor.

  2. The store's purchase to approve: P-1001 from Green Basket Traders, 2 kg tomato at today's rate of ₹34/kg, with Approve & share.
    02

    The store approves and sends

    Checked against today's rates, then approved and sent to the vendor on WhatsApp.

  3. The gate's screen in Hindi: tomato, 2 kg ordered, the photo of the scale reading 1.85 kg, marked good, and the next step — a photo of the papers.
    03

    The gate weighs it

    Every item weighed and photographed on the scale, the challan photographed, and each one marked good, some bad, rejected or not here — in Hindi, with big buttons.

  4. The owner's purchases for today: ₹62.90 spent, 1 order delivered, ₹5.10 saved by checks, and tomato 0.15 kg short of the 2 kg expected, needing attention.

    The invoice, checked

    Every order, delivery, photo and invoice in one place. What was short, not delivered, rejected or billed above is counted as saved by checks — and flagged for your attention.
