Combined Management System
Restaurant operations and workforce management, connected in one platform.
Context
Most small businesses run on four or five separate things at once: a billing screen, a stock book, an attendance register, a payroll sheet and a notebook for the day’s money. They do not talk to each other, so the same numbers get written down three times and nobody trusts any of them.
This platform was built around the way the business actually works, not around the way software usually gets sold. The strongest workflows from two existing systems — restaurant operations and workforce management — were combined into one connected platform, with separate owner and staff experiences on top of the same data.
Band A — the combination
Two systems, combined into one.
The strongest workflows and features from two existing systems, brought together into one connected platform and tailored to the business. Restaurant operations on one side, workforce and business operations on the other.
= One customised management platform
Band B · Platform 1 — restaurant operations
Everything needed to run the floor, sales and stock.
Dashboard, POS and billing, KOT, menu, inventory, staff and reports, and settings — the seven things a manager touches during service, behind one login.
- Today’s sales, orders today, open orders and low stock items at a glance
- Payment split across cash, UPI and card
- Top five items today, and a low stock panel that names what is running out
Band B · sales, menu and stock
Order taking, pricing and ingredient stock in the same system.
Billing draws down the ingredients the menu item is made of, so the stock figures are a by-product of the service rather than a separate evening job.
- POS: searchable menu (press “/”), New Order (F2), category filters, tap-to-add cards priced in ₹
- Menu: item, category, price, GST, recipe, availability, edit and delete
- Inventory: stock, low threshold, cost, ingredient and package views, history
Band B · screens
Menu and stock, managed in place.
Band C · Platform 2 — workforce and business operations
People, attendance, shifts, payroll and the day’s money.
Overview, attendance, income and expense, shifts, payroll, inventory and staff. The owner opens one screen in the morning and can see the whole day.
- Income today, expense today, net for the day, staff on floor
- Income versus expense over the last 14 days
- Low stock listed with quantity against threshold
- Today’s roll call with a status against each person, and net for the month
Band C · attendance, shifts and payroll
From the daily register to the weekly rota to what each person is paid.
The register feeds the rota and the rota feeds payroll, so absences are already counted by the time the month closes.
- Attendance: present, late, absent and weekly off, with mark-all-present and per-person marking
- Shifts: a weekly rota across morning, evening and night with staff assigned per day
- Payroll: gross pay, advance deductions, net payable per employee and a mark-paid action
Band C · screens
The rota, and what it pays out.
Band D · business income, expense & inventory
The money side and the people side, in the same place as the operations side.
Daily income and expense entries with a running net, employee presence, and stock tracked against reorder thresholds. This is part of this system’s scope — not a separate product — which is exactly the point: the numbers come from the work rather than from a second app someone has to remember to update.
- Daily income and expense entries, with net for the day and net for the month
- Employee presence carried through from the same register that drives payroll
- Stock held against a low threshold, so reordering is a list rather than a guess
Band D · screens
Stock, tracked against what it should be.
Band E — owner and employee experiences
Two sides of the same system.
The owner sees the whole business. Each employee sees only their own day — what shift they are on, whether they have been marked in, what still has to be done and what they are being paid.
- HomeThe employee’s own starting screen for the day.
- AttendanceTheir own attendance record, as marked on the register.
- ScheduleThe shifts they are assigned to in the weekly rota.
- ChecklistThe tasks attached to their shift.
- PayslipTheir own pay for the cycle, from the payroll run.
Described as scope rather than shown: there are no screenshots of the employee side in the source material, and a portfolio is not the place to invent one.
Band F — why it matters
Billing, stock, staff and money in one place.
One shared computer at the counter. Separate logins for the owner and for staff, so the person taking an order does not see the payroll. Data stored locally on the machine that runs it.
It was built to be used during service — while orders are coming in and the floor is busy — not filled in after hours. That is why billing, the stock that billing draws down, the register that decides payroll and the day’s money all sit behind the same login instead of in four different books.
What was delivered
Technology note
A responsive, component-driven interface built and handed over end to end. The same table, card and filter components are reused across every module, which is why nine screens look like one system.
Separate owner and staff logins over the same data, so the person taking an order does not see payroll.
Data is stored locally on the machine that runs it, at the counter.
No usage figures, employee counts or results are given anywhere on this page, because none were measured. What is shown is the scope of the system and the screens that exist.
