Voice Billing Software for Restaurants
Say the order — the bill types itself
Tap the mic and speak the order in Hindi or English — “do paneer butter masala, chaar butter naan, ek dal tadka”. KhataBuddy adds each item with its quantity to the bill. Check it, save it, print it. Hands stay free for the counter.
“do paneer butter masala, chaar butter naan, ek dal tadka”
What is voice based billing?
At a busy counter the slowest part of billing is not the printer — it is finding each dish on the screen while a queue watches. Tap the category, scroll, tap the item, change the quantity, and repeat for five dishes. Voice based billing replaces all those taps with one sentence.
You say the order the way a customer says it to you. KhataBuddy listens, understands the dish names and quantities, and puts them on the bill. “Teen masala dosa aur do filter coffee” becomes 3 × Masala Dosa and 2 × Filter Coffee in a moment. You look at the bill, fix anything if needed, and save.
It works on the web app at the counter and on the KhataBuddy Android app, using the device’s own microphone. It also works while a captain is taking a table order, so the same spoken order can go straight to the kitchen as a KOT. And whenever you prefer, you can still type or tap — voice is an extra hand, not a replacement.
Why it matters
Why counters switch to voice billing
Speed at the counter, with fewer chances of a wrong item.
Clear the queue faster
One sentence instead of ten taps. A five-item order is on the bill in the time it takes to say it.
Fewer wrong items
You repeat the order aloud, the way you would to confirm it anyway — and the bill is built from that exact sentence.
Speak the way you already do
Hindi, English or a mix of both. “Do” and “two” both mean two. No special commands to learn.
New staff bill from day one
A new biller does not need to know where every dish sits on the screen. If they can say it, they can bill it.
How it works
How voice billing works
Three steps, on the counter computer or an Android phone.
Tap the mic
Open a new bill — or a table order on the captain app — and tap the microphone button.
Say the order
Speak naturally: “do paneer butter masala, chaar butter naan, ek sweet lassi”. KhataBuddy adds 2 × Paneer Butter Masala, 4 × Butter Naan and 1 × Sweet Lassi with their prices.
Check, then save or send KOT
Look at the items on the screen, change a quantity or remove a line if needed, and save the bill — or send the KOT to the kitchen.
Tap-and-search billing vs voice billing

In detail
What voice billing handles
Dish names and quantities together
“Teen masala dosa” is understood as 3 × Masala Dosa. Say several dishes in one go and each lands as its own line with the right quantity and price from your menu.
Hindi, English and Hinglish
Speak in Hindi, in English, or the everyday mix most counters use. Numbers work both ways — “paanch” and “five” are the same to KhataBuddy.
Always review before saving
Voice fills the bill; you confirm it. Change a quantity, swap a variant, add a note like “less spicy” — then save or print. Nothing is final until you say so.
Works on table orders and KOTs
On the captain app, speak the order at the table and send the KOT to the kitchen from the same screen.
Works with your device’s own mic
It uses the microphone built into your laptop, tablet or Android phone, and the finished bill prints on your usual thermal printer.
Typing is always there
Voice is an option on every bill, not a mode you are locked into. Noisy moment? Tap or type as usual and switch back when it is quieter.
Where voice billing helps most
Any counter where orders come fast and hands are busy.
