💳 Creating and Sharing GST Compliant Invoices
Unavakam automatically generates GST-compliant invoices with proper CGST/SGST split. Here's how to close a table and generate its bill.
-
Open the completed order Go to the Orders or Billing section. Find the table that's ready to pay. Verify all items are correct and the kitchen has marked the order as "Served."
-
Apply a discount if authorized If the customer qualifies for a discount, tap Discount and enter either a percentage (e.g., 10%) or a fixed amount. Discounts can only be applied by users with billing permissions.
-
Select the payment mode Choose how the customer is paying: Cash, Card, UPI, or split (e.g., 50% cash + 50% card). The bill total and GST split adjust automatically based on your settings.
-
Tap Generate Bill The invoice is created instantly with: itemized list, CGST and SGST breakdown (calculated per item), invoice number, date/time, your restaurant's GSTIN, payment mode, and total amount due.
-
Share or print the bill Tap WhatsApp to send the PDF invoice directly to the customer's phone, or Print if a thermal printer is connected to your device. The customer can also download the PDF directly from the screen.
💡 Pro Tips:

- Always verify the bill on screen with the customer before sharing.
- Keep your restaurant's GSTIN and tax rates updated in Settings for accurate invoices.
- At month-end, go to Reports > GST Summary to download a complete tax report for your accountant.
