Two modules, one guide.
Pratikkasa's Market and Restaurant modules do different jobs. Below we cover each one separately — pick the one you use and the guide adapts to it.
Getting started
Pratikkasa offers two separate modules on a single platform. The Market module is built for fast retail sales; the Restaurant module for table and ticket service. Start with the module that fits your needs — you can run both together if you like.
Market or Restaurant?
The two modules are built for different flows. The distinction is clear: one has a fast barcode till, the other table & ticket service.
Market module
For grocers, markets, delis, kiosks and similar retail. Scan a barcode, sell instantly, deduct stock automatically.
- Fast barcode sales & weighed (by kg) products
- Stock tracking, low-stock & counting
- Store credit (customer accounts) ledger
- Cash / card / store-credit payment & receipt
Restaurant module
For restaurants, cafés, eateries and similar service. Open a table, keep a ticket, send the order to the kitchen.
- Floor plan & table management
- Live tickets, bill splitting & comps
- Kitchen display (KDS) & order tracking
- Takeaway / pickup & waiter handheld
Setup
Pratikkasa runs on Android, iOS and Windows. Before you start setup, make sure your license key is ready. Most steps are shared; only the module-specific part changes.
- On the Download page, pick the right version for your device and download it with your license key.
- Open the app, enter your key and pick your business type: Market or Restaurant.
- Market: import your barcoded product catalog or add your first products; set up tax (VAT) and your printer.
- Restaurant: draw your floor plan, place tables, define your menu and categories; connect your kitchen printer.
- Open your first sale / first ticket — data works offline and syncs once you're back online.
Hardware
