The problem

Where the money quietly goes.

None of it is dramatic. A few hundred rupees here, a kilo there, a call nobody picked up. By month end it adds up to real money.

01
Bills that don't match payments

The bill says ₹3,240. The UPI says ₹2,340. Nobody notices until the month closes.

02
Short deliveries and inflated bills

2.5 kg on the challan, 1.85 kg in the crate — and the invoice still charges for 2.5.

03
Missed calls, lost bookings

The phone rings in the middle of the dinner rush. That table goes to the place next door.

04
No idea what guests really think

Unhappy guests rarely complain. They simply don't come back.

How it works

A day at your restaurant.

Follow one Saturday at Kiln House, Gurugram — from the first booking to the last delivery.

Bookings arrive while you're busy.

Behind the scenes · next morning

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.

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.

Questions

What owners ask us first.

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.

We set it up with you — menu, tables, team and suppliers — and walk each person through their own screen.

A short walkthrough per role is enough. Each person sees only the few buttons their job needs, and the gate screen is Hindi-first with big buttons.

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

The gate screen and the phone host work in Hindi; more screens in Hindi are coming.

Your guest data stays yours. It is stored in India, access is limited by role, every change is recorded with who made it, and backups run daily.

Book a demo

See Nowish in your restaurant.

Thirty minutes, at your place or on a call. We'll show it running on your own menu and tables.

We'll call you within one working day. We use these details only to arrange your demo, and your email, if you give one, to confirm your request — privacy.
