Does BillDine handle GST on restaurant bills in the Maldives?

A new outlet's menu prices are before GST, and the bill adds it. You can change that in Settings → Billing rules → Taxes. A business registered for GST starts from ready-made tax groups: GST 8% and T-GST 17%. You can check and change them in Taxes. With a regular GST registration, a business's bill is titled “Tax Invoice”. Without one, it prints “Bill”, with no tax on it.

Which payments can a restaurant in the Maldives take?

Cash is always on, and the POS works out the change. Card: the guest pays on your own card machine, and the POS records it. Your own methods too, such as meal vouchers, recorded at the POS. You pay for BillDine itself in US dollars, through Razorpay Checkout.

How much does BillDine cost in the Maldives?

Every new account starts with a 15-day free trial. After it, the POS keeps selling on the free plan, up to 10 bills a business day at each outlet. Paid plans start at US$40.88 a year (about Rf 630).

Does BillDine work without the internet?

Yes, the POS does. If the internet drops, it keeps selling and saves orders on the device: dine-in, takeaway and delivery orders, kitchen tickets, printing the bill and cash payments. It sends everything when the connection returns. The POS must have been online recently; it sells offline for up to 72 hours.

Printers

Thermal receipt and kitchen printers. The BillDine app on an Android phone or tablet prints by itself to Wi-Fi printers on its network and to Bluetooth printers paired to it. In a browser, bills and kitchen tickets open the print dialog, so a USB receipt printer works too. An outlet with no Android device can use BillDine Printer Helper on a Windows computer.

Languages

Each person chooses the language of their own screens: English, French, German, Dutch, Malay, Hindi and Tamil. Screens stay in English until someone picks a language, and each outlet sets the language its bills print in.

Devices

A laptop, a tablet or a phone you already have. The BillDine app runs on Android phones and tablets with Android 8.0 or newer: the POS, the kitchen screen and the back office. On an iPhone, an iPad or a computer, BillDine runs in the browser.
