Frequently asked questions

GST, billing, restaurants, and getting started—filtered by what you run.

Do I need to buy a POS machine or hardware to use Basil?

No. Basil works completely on your mobile, tablet, or laptop—it is mobile-first cloud billing software, so you do not need to buy a POS machine, swipe terminal, or any extra hardware to start.

Is Basil GST-compliant as per Indian taxation rules?

Yes. Basil is GST-ready billing software for India. It automatically calculates CGST/SGST/IGST, supports HSN/SAC codes, and generates GST-compliant invoices that are ready for your CA, GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and audit requirements.

Can I use Basil as billing software for a kirana or grocery shop?

Yes. Basil is widely used as billing software for kirana stores, grocery shops, supermarkets, and general trade outlets. You get fast counter billing, barcode scanning, MRP/cost pricing, day-end Z reports, and stock alerts—all on a phone or tablet.

Does Basil work as a restaurant POS for India?

Yes. Basil for Restaurants is a dedicated F&B POS for India with menus, modifiers, KOT printing, kitchen display, table management, QR-menu ordering, and outlet-level analytics. It is purpose-built for restaurants, cafés, bakeries, QSRs, dine-in, cloud kitchens, and multi-outlet groups.

Can I manage multiple stores or outlets from one Basil workspace?

Yes. Within each product (Retail or Restaurant), one login lets you switch between locations, see consolidated sales, run inventory transfers or central menu changes, and scale from one shop to franchises and chains.

How does Basil compare with Vyapar, Marg, Tally, or Petpooja?

Basil is a modern cloud platform—it works on any device with a browser, syncs automatically across stores, and offers Retail and Restaurant as tailored products under one vendor. Many businesses move to Basil from Vyapar, Marg, Tally, or Petpooja when they outgrow desktop-only billing or need a multi-outlet view.

Can I manage multiple stores or outlets from one Basil workspace?

Yes. Within each product (Retail or Restaurant), one login lets you switch between locations, see consolidated sales, run inventory transfers or central menu changes, and scale from one shop to franchises and chains.

Does Basil offer QR menu ordering and digital menus for restaurants?

Yes. Every Basil restaurant workspace ships with QR menus and contactless ordering—guests scan, browse a digital menu with photos, place orders that flow straight to the kitchen, and pay or get billed at the table. No extra subscription, no third-party app needed.

Can Basil generate KOTs and connect to my kitchen display?

Yes. Basil supports KOT (Kitchen Order Ticket) printing, kitchen display screens (KDS), order pacing, and station-level routing so the line cook, tandoor, and beverage stations each see what they need. It is restaurant POS software designed around F&B service flows.

Can I use Basil if my products do not have barcodes or printed MRPs?

Absolutely. You can generate your own barcodes or QR codes inside Basil and define cost-to-MRP pricing logic per product. This is particularly useful for kirana stores, hardware shops, pharmacies, and retailers selling loose or unbranded items.

Will Basil slow down billing during rush hours?

No. Basil is built for one-tap billing during peak customer traffic. You can have multiple mobile devices billing simultaneously, the cart is touch-optimised for fast scrolls, and the cloud sync runs in the background so the cashier screen never blocks.

Can I see live profits, customer history, and reports in real time?

Yes. Basil shows live sales, daily profits, GST liability, fast-moving items, and tracks repeat customers by phone number. Reports for GSTR-1, HSN summary, item-wise sales, and outlet performance are built in—no extra reporting tool needed.

Is there a free trial or free plan for Basil?

Yes. You can start free—create a workspace, add your first products or menu, and issue real GST invoices at no cost. Paid plans unlock multi-store, advanced analytics, and priority support. Pricing is per outlet per month with a clear annual discount.

Does Basil work offline and sync when the internet is back?

Yes. Basil keeps billing on your device when the network drops and syncs to the cloud as soon as you are back online—so a flaky 4G connection or a router reboot never stops billing. Stock and reports stay accurate after the catch-up sync.

What is HSN code and does Basil support it?

HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes are mandatory on GST invoices for most product categories in India. Basil ships an HSN library, lets you tag each product with the correct HSN, and produces an HSN summary report for GSTR-1 filing.

Can I run a shop and a restaurant in one Basil workspace?

Retail and Restaurant are separate Basil products—each workspace is built for how you sell (products vs food service). If you operate both, you typically use a Retail workspace for the store and a Restaurant workspace for the kitchen; talk to our team if you need a multi-brand rollout plan.
