Counters

Need more billing counters?

A counter is another billing device or cashier operating inside the same outlet.

Cafe ABC Dharampeth may use:

Counter 1 - Main billing desk

Counter 2 - Takeaway counter

Counter 3 - Tablet/mobile billing

Operate includes

2

billing counters

Grow includes

4

billing counters

Extra counter

₹149/month

or ₹1,499/year

If adding counters makes another plan more affordable, PayChat should recommend the better plan automatically. Example: Operate at ₹299/month plus one additional counter at ₹149/month totals ₹448/month. Grow may be better value at ₹599/month if you also need kitchen, loyalty, or advanced restaurant features.

Counter vs Outlet

Additional counters cost less because they work under the same location.

Counter

Another billing device operating at the same business location.

Cafe ABC, Dharampeth

Counter 2

Counter 3

They share the same outlet, business, menu, usually the same inventory, and the same reports.
