Orders & POS
Table-side ordering with a live kitchen queue, so tickets hit the kitchen the moment they're placed.
Introducing BARESTO
India Ka Pehla AI-Powered Bar & Restaurant POS

GST
+ Service charge built into every bill
One system. Every form. Zero manual reconciliation.
Built for how Maharashtra's bars actually get audited — not how software vendors imagine it.
Every month
Hours lost re-typing purchase registers and stock counts by hand into Excel.
One typo away
From a mismatched FLR-4 return and an awkward question from your excise inspector.
Always a step behind
By the time the register is updated, your actual stock has already moved.
The paperwork problem
Excise compliance shouldn't be a month-end scramble.
Every liquor-licensed bar in Maharashtra owes the Excise Department a monthly FLR-4 return, a daily FLR-3 register, and an FLR-1A brand-wise stock register — compiled by hand, usually in Excel, usually under deadline pressure. Ordinary POS software has no idea any of this exists.
- Liquor stock tracked bottle-by-bottle, automatically, from purchase to sale
- Every sale posts to a full audit-trail ledger the moment a bill is paid
- Reports assemble themselves from that ledger — no manual reconciliation
Without BARESTO
Manual registers, month-end panic
With BARESTO
FLR-3 — up to date daily
FLR-4 — ready on the 1st
FLR-1A — always current
Print-ready, zero reconciliation
Everything, in one system
India's Most Complete Bar & Restaurant Management Software.
Fourteen modules, one login, one PC. No stitching together separate apps for billing, stock and staff.
Orders, Billing & Tables
Smart Billing
GST and service charge applied automatically, with discounts, split bills and quick-bill for fast counters.
Table Management
A live floor view of every table's status, refreshing automatically so hosts always know what's free.
AI-Powered Tools
Voice Ordering
Waiters can dictate an order out loud instead of tapping through the menu — BARESTO transcribes it straight into the cart.
AI Menu Translation
Menus and staff-facing screens in English and Marathi, translated with AI — more languages a config change away.
Menu Photo Import
Snap a photo of your existing menu and BARESTO's AI reads the items, prices and categories straight into your catalogue.
Inventory & Bar Management
Food Inventory
Ingredients, recipes, purchase orders and wastage tracking — kept separate from your liquor stock.
Bar Management
Brand catalogue, bottle sizes and liquor stock — linked straight into the POS menu, zero extra steps for waiters.
Staff, Reports & Reliability
Staff & Shifts
A shift board and monthly attendance summary, so scheduling and payroll prep aren't a spreadsheet exercise.
Sales Reports
Daily and monthly KPIs, top-selling items and a payment-mode breakdown, at a glance.
Automated Backups
Scheduled database backups to a local or external drive, with an in-app alert if the destination goes missing.
Telegram Notifications
Instant bill-settled alerts and an end-of-day revenue summary, sent straight to your phone.
Offline Mode
No internet connection required — orders, billing and the kitchen queue keep running entirely on your restaurant's own PC and LAN.
Dark Mode
A full dark theme across the app, easy on the eyes for late-night bar service.
The BARESTO difference
The only POS that speaks Maharashtra Excise.
Add a liquor brand once, and BARESTO handles the rest: it links the brand onto the POS menu, tracks every bottle from purchase to sale, and keeps a full audit-trail ledger — so your statutory returns are a click, not a project.
- FLR-3 daily register, always current
- FLR-4 monthly return, ready on day one of the next month
- FLR-1A brand-wise register, updated with every purchase and sale
- Liquor purchases tracked against TP numbers, from your excise-approved suppliers
- Print-ready layouts — hand them straight to your excise inspector

Why BARESTO
Built different, on purpose.
Most POS software was never designed with Maharashtra's excise paperwork in mind. BARESTO was.
| Typical POS | BARESTO | |
|---|---|---|
| Liquor excise reporting | Manual, in Excel | FLR-3 / FLR-4 / FLR-1A auto-generated |
| Deployment | Cloud subscription | Runs on your own PC, LAN-only |
| Menu language | English only | English + Marathi, more configurable |
| Night-shift usability | Bright-only screens | Full dark mode |
| Database backups | DIY or none | Scheduled, monitored, alerted |
| Pricing model | Often per staff seat | Licensed per restaurant |
Questions
Frequently asked questions
No. BARESTO runs entirely on one PC in your restaurant and serves the whole app over your local network — orders, billing and the kitchen queue keep working with no internet connection. Internet is only used for optional extras like Telegram notifications.
The Bar Management and FLR compliance modules simply stay unused — everything else, from orders to billing to staff and reports, works exactly the same for a pure restaurant.
Every liquor purchase and sale writes an entry to a full audit-trail ledger the moment it happens. Your FLR-3, FLR-4 and FLR-1A reports are simply assembled from that ledger for the period you select — no separate data entry, and the balances always tie out.
Yes. Every login has a role — Admin, Manager, Waiter, Bartender or Kitchen — and BARESTO shows each person only what their role needs.
BARESTO checks your backup destination every few minutes. If it goes missing, a persistent banner shows up in the app until it's reconnected — so a missed backup never goes unnoticed.
Yes — menus and staff-facing screens support English and Marathi out of the box, with more languages a configuration change away.
