Restaurant POS · Made in Tamil Nadu

5:45 PM

The till that keeps going
when the Wi-Fi doesn't.

Elai is a restaurant POS for waiters on phones, one counter tablet, and an owner who checks the day from home. Every order is saved on the device first, so service never waits for the internet.

  • WaiterOrders at the table, in rounds.
  • CashierEvery table, readable across the counter.
  • OwnerThe whole day, from home.

Table 4 sits down

6:30 PM

The waiter takes the order at the table.

Tap the table, tap the dishes, send. The order reaches the counter tablet straight away. A second order later shows up as Round 2, so the kitchen and the bill never mix them up.

  • Veg / non-veg mark on every dish
  • Rounds kept apart
  • Move a party to another table in two taps

6:58 PMThe sun goes down.

7:40 PMThe lights come on.

The rush

8:00 PM

Every table, readable from across the counter.

When the room fills up, the counter screen goes dark and the numbers get big. Each table shows what it owes and how long the party has been seated, so nobody has to ask who's next.

  • Live timer on every table
  • Green: eating. Amber: ordering.
  • Big numbers, readable from across the counter

The Wi-Fi drops

9:00 PM

Go on. Pull the Wi-Fi.

Take an order and a payment. Then switch the internet off and do it again. Nothing stops. When the connection comes back, everything reaches the owner's phone by itself.

The bill

10:30 PM

A bill that prints like a bill.

GST worked out on every line, with CGST and SGST shown separately, printed on your thermal printer. The cashier always taps Cash, UPI or Card. There is no default, so your UPI numbers are real. Reprint a bill and it says DUPLICATE, so a copy can never pass as a new sale.

  • ESC/POS thermal printers
  • No default payment method
  • Bill, Paid receipt and Duplicate copy look different

Closing time

11:10 PM

The owner sees the whole day from home.

Sales by the hour, the dishes that sold, cash against UPI and card, and the drinks running low. They're the same numbers the counter sees, because they come from the same orders.

From the counter

Built behind a real counter in Sirkali.

Elai was made for Royal Arabian, a busy biryani and mandhi restaurant in Sirkali, and tested there every evening — rush hours, power cuts, Wi-Fi drops and all.

  • 6months in daily service
  • 18,000+bills printed
  • 4devices on the floor

What's next

Always getting better.

Every evening at the counter teaches us something. We keep track of what goes wrong, fix it, and ship the next thing restaurants ask for.

  1. Already on

    Problems reported automatically

    Errors and sync failures are logged from every device, so we see what to fix — often before anyone at the counter notices.

  2. On the way

    Health alerts and period reports

    A message to the owner if a busy counter stops syncing, plus week and month summaries with GST exports to Excel and PDF.

  3. Coming later

    AI insights from your own sales

    Suggestions drawn from your own bills: when the rush starts, which dishes to prepare more of, and what to put in front of guests.

Questions owners ask us.

Does it really work without internet?

Yes. Every order, bill and payment is saved on the device first. When the connection comes back, everything syncs to the owner's phone by itself — nothing is lost.

Which printers does it support?

ESC/POS thermal receipt printers, the kind most restaurant counters already have. Tell us your model and we'll check it during the demo.

Is the bill GST-ready?

Yes. GST is worked out on every bill, with CGST and SGST shown separately. Reprints are marked DUPLICATE so a copy can't pass as a new sale.

What devices do I need?

An Android or iOS tablet for the counter, and phones for the waiters and the owner. Many restaurants start with devices they already have.

Who can see the sales?

Each person signs in to their own screen. Waiters take orders, the cashier bills, and only the owner sees the reports and the day's totals.
