Indian gaming cafes need session and food bills they can reconcile for GST and daily cash/UPI. Here is what CafeNex covers today, and what to check in any software.
Itemised bill · sample
Cosmos Gaming · Bill #2081
GST-ready records for your accountant. CafeNex does not issue GST tax invoices yet.
Think before you switch tools
If the product is free forever, ask who the customer is. CafeNex is built so you pay for software — not with leaked free play, lost snack sales, or support that disappears.
If it is free forever…
Who pays? Ads, data, upsell walls, or a product that stops at marketing features when you are full on Saturday.
Can unpaid PCs stay locked?
A dashboard invoice does not stop free play. You need a Windows Station Agent that locks until the session is paid.
What happens in a food rush?
If kitchen and POS are bolted on later, snacks get lost. CafeNex runs desk POS + kitchen tickets on the same bill as the session.
What is the real cost of downtime?
One broken evening can cost more than a month of software. Book a WhatsApp demo built around your floor, then pick a plan from ₹999/month. Cancel anytime, or save up to 30% on annual.

CafeNex does not yet print GST tax invoices with your GSTIN and a CGST/SGST split, and it does not produce GSTR files. It is on our roadmap. Until then, use the CafeNex reports with your accountant.

FAQ

Yes. Food can attach to sessions so one checkout covers play + snacks.
Not yet. CafeNex prints itemised bills and gives you revenue and collection reports, but not GST tax invoices with a GSTIN and CGST/SGST split.
