What usually goes wrong

  • Orders lost between the floor and the kitchen
  • No idea of true food cost per dish
  • Ingredient stock that is never counted
  • Takeaway and delivery orders in separate systems

What Distribook does instead

  • Counter and table billing with held orders
  • Recipe-based ingredient consumption
  • Daily sales by item, category and hour
  • Online orders flowing into the same system

Why restaurants & cafés run better on one system

Food businesses lose margin in places that never appear on a sales report: over-portioning, wastage, unrecorded staff meals and ingredient price rises absorbed silently. Linking recipes to stock means each dish sold consumes its ingredients, so variance between expected and actual usage becomes visible.

At the front, billing is quick and forgiving — orders can be held, modified and settled across payment types, and peak-hour reporting shows when to staff up.

FAQ

Restaurants & Cafés — common questions

How long does it take to set up Distribook for a restaurants & café business?

Most businesses go live within one to two weeks. That covers data migration, configuring your pricing and stock rules, hardware setup and staff training. Larger multi-branch rollouts are phased branch by branch.

Can you move our existing data across?

Yes. We migrate your product list, customers, suppliers and outstanding balances from spreadsheets or your current software, reconcile the figures with you, and only go live once they agree.

What does it cost?

Plans start at LKR 3,000 per month for Admin + POS and LKR 3,500 with the mobile app. The advanced package with payroll, attendance and e-commerce is LKR 5,500 per month, and a one-time licence is available at LKR 130,000. Message us for a written quotation for your setup.

Do you provide training and support?

Yes. Counter staff and management training is included in setup, and ongoing support is provided in Tamil, Sinhala and English over WhatsApp and phone, with on-site help where needed.
