The money half of the café
Gaming café accounting that closes the month into a real profit figure
An invoice register, expenses beside income, wallets on an append-only paise ledger and a monthly P&L · kept auditable and exportable, with an honest line drawn where your accountant takes over.
An invoice register, not a shoebox
Every session and sale closes into a numbered, GST-ready invoice with its payment method, and the register exports whole · the document trail your accountant asks for in March, kept since April.
Expenses beside the income
Rent, power, restocks and wages logged as they happen, cash and bank kept apart, and recurring costs that post themselves monthly · the half of the books most tills ignore.
Money as a ledger, not a field
Wallet balances derive from an append-only transaction ledger in whole paise. A void is a reversal entry, a refund is a record · nothing is edited over, so the books reconcile.
Figures that cannot drift
Prices freeze at session start and no amount is ever a float · so what the customer agreed, what the invoice says and what the report sums are the same number.
A real P&L, monthly
Income by stream, expenses by type, profit after both · with busy-hours and custom date ranges when a question needs a closer look.
Exports your accountant accepts
Reports and registers export to PDF and Excel whenever you want. Your data leaves cleanly · that is a feature, not a concession.
Takings are not accounts
Most café software stops at a takings total · what came in. Accounts begin where that ends: what went out, what is owed on wallets, what a void actually reversed, and what was finally kept. RESPAWNA carries all four sides. Expenses live beside income, wallet money lives on a ledger rather than in an editable field, voids and refunds are records rather than deletions, and the month closes into profit · the number the takings total only pretends to be.
Built to be auditable, not just tidy
The design choices are an accountant's: amounts stored in whole paise so nothing rounds, an append-only ledger so history cannot be rewritten, invoices voided with a reason that stays on record, and a staff activity log that says who did what and when. When a figure looks wrong, the trail exists to find out why.
Where RESPAWNA stops and your accountant starts
Plainly: RESPAWNA is not a bookkeeping package. It does not file GSTR returns, run double-entry journals or replace Tally or your CA. What it does is keep the café's operational money · invoices, expenses, wallets, profit · complete, consistent and exportable, so what you hand your accountant is a clean register instead of a carrier bag of chits.
Frequently asked questions
Is RESPAWNA an accounting package?expand_more
No, and it does not pretend to be · it will not file GST returns or replace your CA or Tally. It keeps the café's operational accounts complete: a GST-ready invoice register, expenses with categories, wallet money on an append-only ledger, and a monthly P&L, all exportable to PDF and Excel for whoever does your books.
Can it track expenses as well as income?expand_more
Yes. Expenses log with categories, cash and bank are kept apart, and recurring costs like rent post themselves monthly · so the P&L subtracts real costs rather than guesses.
How are refunds and voids handled?expand_more
As records, never edits. A void carries a reason that stays on file and a refund is a ledger entry that reverses the original · history is appended to, not rewritten, which is what makes the books reconcile.
Can I get my data out for my accountant?expand_more
Yes, any time. The invoice register, reports and the monthly P&L export to PDF and Excel, and there is no lock-in.
What does it cost?expand_more
Plans start at ₹299 a month, and every plan begins with a 14-day free trial, no card. When the trial ends you either pay to carry on or stop · nothing renews by itself, because we hold no card. Current plans and prices are on the pricing page.
