Before you start
What Books does not do (yet)
- No stock or ingredient tracking: Books does not know how many oranges are left.
- Needs an internet connection to save bills.
- Books does not file GST returns or make e-invoices; GST bills themselves are part of Pro.
Questions shop owners ask
Fruit prices change every week. Do I have to redo my menu?
No. Change the price of a juice once in Products; every new bill uses the new price and old bills keep theirs.
How do I track the fruit I buy each morning?
Add it as an expense, for example under a Fruits category, as you pay the vendor. Today's profit takes it into account at once.
Can I compare summer and monsoon months?
Yes, with Books Pro: the yearly report shows each month and how it changed from the month before.
Can customers get a printed bill?
With Books Pro, bills print on a small Bluetooth printer from an Android phone or a laptop.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Billing, expenses and today's and this month's profit are free for ever.
