TablID Cloud POS · stock & food cost
Paper tells you the takings. Never the food cost.
The gap between those two numbers is the whole business. TablID keeps the recipe behind every dish and what you last paid for what goes into it, so the food cost works itself out — and it stays switched off until you want it.
In your plan — from ₹7,000 a year, all taxes included. Off until you switch it on.
The typing is why nobody leaves paper. So the AI does the typing.
We use AI where it takes away work you would otherwise do by hand, and nowhere else. There is no chatbot here and nothing to prompt. Five things it works out on its own:
It reads your printed menu
Photograph the card. It pulls out the sections, the dish names, the prices, half and full, the veg and non-veg marks — and in a bar, which of the drinks are liquor and where they are made.
It draws every dish
A clean plated photograph for each one, with no photographer and no shoot. Swap in your own picture for any dish whenever you like.
It works out your recipes
From that same menu it drafts what goes into each dish, and therefore what you need to keep in stock. When a dish is one it is unsure of, it looks the dish up before it asks you.
It hears you in your own language
Bengali, Hindi or English, spoken — a stock count at closing, or a round at the table. It matches what it heard against your own list and reads it back before a thing is written.
It reads your supplier’s bill
A photograph of what came in from the market becomes stock lines, with quantities and prices, ready for you to check.
It proposes. You approve.
Nothing a model works out is written into your restaurant until you have looked at it and said yes — not a price, not a recipe, not a count. It is a very fast assistant that fills the form in; you are still the one who signs it. Your restaurant’s information is not sold, and we do not use it to train anything of our own.
You know what you sold. Do you know what it cost?
Paper tells you the takings and never the food cost, and the gap between those two numbers is the whole business. This is the part no QR menu has — and it stays switched off until you want it.
You do not have to set this up on day one.
Open with the menu and the kitchen, and leave this off until the evening runs itself. When you do turn it on, the list of things to count is read off your own menu instead of typed — and that week of typing is the reason most restaurants never do this at all.
- What each dish costs you
- Every dish carries its recipe, and the recipe carries what you last paid. Oil goes up, and every dish made with oil re-prices itself.
- A week of food cost
- What the kitchen actually consumed against what it sold, and which dishes are carrying the rest of the menu.
- Count it by talking
- Hold the button and say it — “chicken, six and a half kilo” — in Bengali, Hindi or English. Nobody wants to type at eleven at night.
- The supplier’s bill, photographed
- Take a picture of what came in from the mandi. It reads the lines and proposes them; you fix anything it misread and approve.
- What went in the bin
- Wastage with a rupee value and a reason, ranked, so the one that is actually costing you sits at the top.
- What is running out
- A low-stock screen before service rather than during it, and a dish that can take itself off the menu when the thing it is made from is finished.
- A bar counts bottles
- Not kilos. Pegs poured and bottles sold, against the shelf, in the sizes it already knows.
- Where it actually went
- Counted against cooked against sold. When the three disagree the app says so, in rupees, and without an accusation.
One week, from the menu to the food cost
- 1
Switch it on
When the evening runs itself, turn stock on. The list of things to count is read off your own menu instead of typed.
- 2
Check the recipes
From your menu it drafts what goes into each dish. A dish it is unsure of, it looks up before it asks you — and nothing is written until you say yes.
- 3
Stock comes in
Photograph the supplier’s bill. It reads the lines and proposes them; you fix anything it misread and approve.
- 4
Count at closing
Hold the button and say it — “chicken, six and a half kilo” — in Bengali, Hindi or English.
- 5
Read the week
What the kitchen actually consumed against what it sold, and which dishes are carrying the rest of the menu.
Why it gets used
A switch, not a project
Plenty of restaurants open without it. Turn it on when you want the food cost, not on day one.
Nothing to type
The list of things to count comes from your menu. That week of typing is the reason most restaurants never do this at all.
Food cost on today’s screen
Today shows what has come in and what the day cost you in food — live, not last night’s summary.
A dish that knows it is finished
When the thing a dish is made from runs out, the dish can take itself off the menu before a guest orders it.
Part of Cloud POS
Stock, recipes and food cost are part of every Cloud POS plan, on the same phones as the menu and the kitchen.
One kitchen, several shops?
If one kitchen makes for all your shops, Multi-outlet inventory, added to Cloud POS, follows every piece from the kitchen to the counter.
What you need
- TablID Cloud POS, on the plan you already have.
- Your menu, so the list of things to count can be read off it.
- Your supplier’s bills, on paper, as they come.
- Somebody to say what is left at closing — out loud is fine.
Straight answers
- Do I have to use the stock part at all?
- No. It is a switch, and plenty of restaurants open without it. When you do turn it on, the list of things to count is read off your own menu rather than typed.
- Nobody here wants to type at eleven at night.
- Nobody has to. Hold a button and say “chicken, six and a half kilo”, in Bengali, Hindi or English. It matches what it heard against your own list and reads it back before a thing is written.
- What if the AI gets a recipe wrong?
- You fix it before it counts. Every recipe it drafts comes back as a proposal you approve, change or throw away. Nothing it works out is written into your restaurant on its own.
- Does stock cost extra?
- No. Stock, recipes and food cost are part of every Cloud POS plan, alongside the menu and the kitchen. There is nothing more to buy.

We will read in your menu, print your table cards and sit with you through one dinner service. If it does not make your evening easier, you owe us nothing and you keep your paper.
