Hafte ka hisaab — sheet nahi, ek page jo aap band karte ho.

Most owners keep the real books in a spreadsheet: one tab a week, sales plus the platform payouts minus expenses, a balance carried from tab to tab, a line for what the partners took. Accounts is that sheet, built in — with the sales, staff pay and expenses already filled in, and the two numbers that matter kept apart: profit, and cash carried forward.

The walkthrough

Sunday raat ka routine, char steps mein.

1

Start a period with the cash you have

Open Accounts. The first time, it asks two things: the day your period starts, and how much cash the business has in hand right now. That is the opening balance. Every period after this one starts the day after the last and opens with whatever the last one closed on — the running balance your sheet carried from tab to tab, done for you. Periods default to a week; move any open period's end date if you count on a Tuesday this time.

2

Type the two things the register can't know

Sales, staff pay and every logged expense arrive on their own. Two things only you know: what Swiggy, Zomato or your local platform actually paid you this period — add them under Money in, one line per platform, on the day the money landed — and what the owners took out. A withdrawal, a profit share, a capital repayment or fresh capital is recorded under Taken out, optionally per partner. None of it is ever an expense, so your profit stays honest.

The Accounts page for a closed week: the six numbers across the top, then Money in with Grosav, Zomato and Swiggy payouts typed in, Money out with expenses paid, staff paid and a bill paid from the owner's pocket, and Taken out by owners with a ₹60,000 profit share

Step 2 — the two things only you know, typed under Money in and Taken out (shown here after the week was closed).

Read the six numbers, then close

Sales collected, online payouts, expenses paid, staff paid, profit this period, and the one that matters most: cash carried forward — opened with, ended with. Each shows how it moved against the previous period, or against any period you name: compare Ramzan with last Ramzan, not with the week before. Write a note when the week needs one — "Ramzaan", "price increase", "closed 3 days". Then Close. The numbers freeze as the record, the next period opens with the carried-forward cash, and the same six lines go to everyone on the dashboard by email — or to your partner on WhatsApp with one tap.

Step 3 — Close names the carry-forward before it freezes anything.

Zoom out when you need to

Every report — Summary, Sales, Menu, Profit & loss, Expenses, Labour — sits inside the period as a tab, already set to its dates. All periods lists them like the tabs of your workbook. Year lays the months down the side with sales, expenses, profit and your notes beside them. Partners shows each partner's capital put in, repaid, still owed, taken out and profit share — the investment and profit-sharing tabs, live.

The Year tab: calendar months down the side with sales, online, expenses, staff, taken out and profit across, a totals row, and period notes beside the months that need explaining

Step 4 — the year, with the notes that explain the dips.

Your own words, your own platforms: dashboard → Settings → Accounts. Say how long a period usually is, switch online payouts on and name who pays you — Swiggy, Zomato, a local service — and rename any expense category to what you actually call it, pinning the daily ones so they come first.

Accounts questions

Straight answers.

Profit and cash carried forward — why two numbers?
Because they answer different Sunday questions. Profit is the P&L: what the business earned, with a monthly salary spread across the days it covers whether or not payday has come. Cash carried forward is what is actually in the business: what came in through the till and from the platforms, minus what went out for expenses and staff, minus what the owners took, plus any capital put in. A profitable week can still leave less cash than it started with if the partners drew it out — and the page shows both, never a blend.
What counts as money out?
Expenses paid from business cash or the business bank account, on the day they were paid; and every rupee handed to staff — salary, wages, advances, bonuses. A bill you paid from your own pocket is shown separately as owed to you, because no business cash moved. A supplier bill you have not paid yet does not count until you mark it paid. Money the owners take out has its own column and never touches profit.
Period band karne ke baad koi bill aa gaya toh?
Log it as normal. The closed period keeps the record you closed it with, and the page says plainly what has changed since — how much, and where. If you want the record to follow, tap Recalculate on the latest closed period and it re-freezes with the new figures. Nothing is rewritten silently, and nothing is lost.
When does a Swiggy or Zomato payout count?
On the day it lands in your account, against the period that day falls in — you type the amount the platform actually paid, not the order value. If you would rather see it against the days the food was sold, tell us; the row already carries the period it was typed into, so that is a setting away rather than a rebuild.
Do I have to set up partners?
No. A solo owner records money taken out without naming anyone. Add partners only when profit is split: each gets a name and a share, and the Partners tab keeps their capital, repayments and profit shares straight. Shares do not have to add up to 100% — the page will hint if they don't, and leave the decision to you.
Where does the email go, and can I turn it off?
To everyone who can sign in to your dashboard, once per period close, with the same lines the WhatsApp share carries — the figures and your note. Settings → Notifications → "Period closed". It is on by default; reopening and closing again does not send it twice.
