What exactly is HisaabNow?
HisaabNow is POS & billing software built for Indian small businesses — cafés, salons, restaurants, sweet shops, and kirana stores. It does billing, GST invoicing, inventory, and customer udhaar in one place, but the thing that sets it apart is real profit tracking on every sale. Most billing software tells you what you sold. HisaabNow tells you what you actually earned, after costs.
Which businesses can use HisaabNow?
It's designed for five business types: cafés & coffee shops (recipe cost tracking, voice billing for the morning rush), salons & barber shops (appointment booking, stylist commissions, repeat-customer CRM), restaurants (table-wise billing, kitchen ticket printing, per-dish profit), sweet shops & mithai stores (weight-based pricing, festival inventory, expiry tracking), and kirana & grocery stores (barcode scanning, udhaar khaata with WhatsApp reminders). One platform, five vertical-tuned experiences.
How is this different from Khatabook, Vyapar, or myBillBook?
Most Indian billing software tracks revenue. We track real profit. When you sell a cappuccino, HisaabNow auto-deducts the actual cost (beans, milk, cup) and shows you what you earned — not just what the customer paid. Same for stylist services, restaurant dishes, sweet shop kg-pricing. Plus voice billing in Hindi, an AI Munim that flags problems before they kill your month, and a 7-day trial with every Pro feature. We're built for shopkeepers who care about margins, not just bills printed.
Does HisaabNow work in Hindi?
Yes. Full Hindi UI plus Hindi voice billing — say "do cappuccino, ek brownie" and HisaabNow adds them to the bill. Voice recognition handles Hindi numerals (ek, do, teen, char...) so you can bill hands-free during the rush. The whole interface, every screen, every button, switches between English and Hindi with one tap.
Does it handle GST invoicing?
Yes. HisaabNow generates GST-compliant bills with HSN codes, GSTIN, CGST/SGST/IGST splits, and proper invoice formatting. You can set GST rates per item, mark items as exempt, and export reports for filing. WhatsApp-ready receipts go to customers in two taps.
Can I track stylist commissions, dish profit, or customer udhaar?
Yes — these are core features for the verticals that need them. Salons get per-stylist daily totals, services, tips, commission. Restaurants get per-dish profit (Munim flags any dish priced below cost). Kirana stores get a udhaar khaata with auto-WhatsApp reminders to customers whose debts cross 7 or 14 days. Sweet shops get expiry alerts to discount before discarding. Cafés get ingredient-stock alerts when a key ingredient is running out.
Do I need a separate barcode scanner or printer?
No. Barcode scanning works with your phone camera — point, beep, item added. If you want a USB scanner for speed at busy counters, HisaabNow supports those too. For receipts: WhatsApp share, PDF download, or any standard Bluetooth thermal printer. Restaurants can connect a kitchen-side printer for ticket printing.
What does it cost? Is there a trial?
7-day trial — every feature, no card needed. After that, Pro — ₹99/month or ₹990/year for a single shop: appointment booking, voice billing, staff commissions, customer loyalty CRM, inventory, udhaar khaata and daily profit insights. King — ₹199/month or ₹1,990/year adds up to 5 outlets, a recipe & cost-of-goods calculator, predictive reorder alerts, cross-outlet benchmarking and the advanced AI Munim. Annual saves ~17%.
