How Bill It works
From installing it to a night when the internet goes.
Install it at the counter
Download Bill It for Windows or Mac and put it on the computer at your counter.
Bill with shortcuts

The internet drops
Bill It keeps billing on the counter computer. Bills keep printing for up to 7 days offline.
The line comes back
Bills, stock and payments sync on their own. Nothing is typed in twice.
Zoho gets the books
With Zoho sync on, bills and payments go to your Zoho books.
Your cashier’s side and your side
The cashier keeps the queue moving. You and your accountant see the same numbers afterwards.
The queue does not wait
When the internet goes, the cashier carries on billing and printing. There is nothing to switch.
Synced to Ordrio and to Zoho
Bills made offline show up in your reports once synced. With Zoho sync on, your accountant sees them in Zoho too.

How it plays out at the counter
Three ordinary evenings, with made-up names and numbers.
Forty minutes without internet
On a Saturday evening the line goes for 40 minutes. The counter makes 38 bills offline, and all 38 sync when it comes back.
The dinner rush carries on
The router restarts in the middle of dinner. Bills keep printing on the 80 mm printer, and the guests never notice.
An accountant who lives in Zoho
The store’s accountant keeps the books in Zoho. With Zoho sync on, the day’s bills and payments are there the next morning.
