Built around the problems every restaurant owner knows
We spent time on real restaurant floors before writing code. These are the problems Covers was built to fix.
The internet drops during service
Billing, kitchen tickets and payments carry on. Everything syncs when the connection is back, with a gap-free invoice series.
Staff give discounts or cancel items
Only a manager can. Audit at a glance flags anyone doing more voids or discounts than the rest of the team.
Cash never matches
Count the notes at day close. Any short or over amount is flagged and emailed to the owner automatically.
Setting up the menu takes days
Photograph your printed menu. Dishes, sizes and prices are read in about 25 seconds and checked by you before going live.
Weekend rush, too few captains
Guests order and pay by UPI from the table QR. No app to install and no aggregator commission.
Many outlets, one owner
Every outlet on one screen. Ask “how did Baner do yesterday?” and get the numbers in seconds.
Everything a restaurant runs on, in one POS

KOT printing and a kitchen display, your way
Some kitchens want paper, some want a screen, many want both. Choose in Covers Admin › Kitchen, for the whole kitchen or station by station.
- Print only, Display only, Print + Display, or per station (bar on paper, main kitchen on screen)
- One order splits into a KOT for each station, at the same moment
- Network, USB, Bluetooth or built-in thermal printers, 58 mm or 80 mm
- A warning on every terminal if a printer runs out of paper or goes offline
From the first clock-in to the last bill
Follow a service at our demo outlet, a Maharashtrian kitchen in Koregaon Park, Pune. The restaurant, people and numbers are invented to show Covers in use.
The team clocks in with a PIN
Each person picks their name, or searches for it in a big team, and enters a 4-digit PIN. Hours are recorded for payroll, and every action from now on carries their name.
Table 7 orders in seconds
The captain adds Chicken Sukka, Mutton Rassa (Full) and Jowar Bhakri on a tablet or phone. Sizes, add-ons and notes are one tap away.
The kitchen sees it instantly
The ticket appears on the kitchen display and prints at the right station. Two taps take it from preparing to ready, and the captain is told.
Food to the kitchen, drinks to the bar
The same order prints as two KOTs: the dishes on the kitchen printer, the drinks at the bar. Quantities print large, so the cook reads them from a step away.
A terrace guest orders from the table QR
No app, no waiting. You choose whether staff approve each QR order or it goes straight to the kitchen.
GST bill and UPI in one flow
The bill shows CGST and SGST, GSTIN and FSSAI. The guest scans a UPI QR for the exact amount, or splits between cash, card and UPI.
Who’s waiting for the bill?
Tables that asked for the bill turn red on every terminal, so the cashier goes there first. Gold tables are still eating, with the minutes since they sat down.
Count the cash and go home
Count the notes, and any difference is flagged. The owner gets the day’s summary by email and can ask Covers questions from their phone.
AI that saves time, not just a buzzword
Covers uses AI in four places where it makes a real difference to your day. You stay in control of every change.
Ask in plain words
“What sold best today?” Answers in seconds from your own reports, while you get on with other work.

Covers POS: frequently asked questions
Does Covers work without internet?
Yes. Billing, kitchen tickets and payments keep working when the internet drops. Terminals in the outlet keep talking to each other on the local network, and everything syncs to the cloud when the connection is back. Every terminal has its own gap-free invoice series, so offline bills stay valid.
Is Covers GST compliant?
Covers prints CGST, SGST and IGST correctly with GST and HSN per dish, and shows your outlet GSTIN, FSSAI licence and full address on every bill. Your CA can get read-only access and Excel exports.
What hardware do I need?
Any Android tablet or phone, or a computer with a modern browser. For printing, 58 mm or 80 mm thermal printers work for both KOTs and bills, connected over the network, by USB or Bluetooth, or built into the terminal. From a browser, Covers prints through the free Covers Print Bridge app for Windows.
Can I print KOTs and use a kitchen display at the same time?
Yes. In Covers Admin › Kitchen you choose Print only, Display only, Print + Display, or a different choice for each station, for example the bar on paper and the main kitchen on a screen. You can change it at any time.
How does QR table ordering work?
Each table gets a QR code. Guests scan it, see your menu, order, call the waiter, follow their order and pay by UPI, with no app to install. You decide whether staff approve each order first, and you can pause QR ordering from Covers Admin at any time.
How long does it take to set up?
Most single outlets are live the same day: sign up, photograph your menu, link your tablets with a code and add staff PINs. For two or more outlets, our team checks your details and helps you go live.
Can I manage multiple outlets?
Yes. Every outlet appears on one screen in Covers Admin, with permissions per outlet, consolidated reports and the option to ask questions like “how did Baner do yesterday?”.
How much does Covers cost?
Covers is currently in a pilot program, and subscription plans are coming soon. Contact us for pilot pricing for your restaurant.
What happens if a tablet is lost or stolen?
Revoke it from Covers Admin and it can no longer bill or see your data. A reset device can be brought back with Re-link, keeping its invoice series. How we keep Covers secure.
