One app per trade

Billing that already knows your trade.

Not one generic tool bent to fit everyone. Food, retail and travel each get their own app, with only the screens that trade actually uses.

FoodLive

Bill while you take the order.

For kitchens, cafés and caterers — orders at the counter, by phone or on WhatsApp.

The common core

One core. Shaped per trade.

Every app shares the GST, ledger and exports your accountant needs - then adds only what that trade uses.

FAQs

Before you ask for a demo.

The things people ask on the first call.

  • One app per trade. Food, Retail and Travel are separate apps, each built around how that trade bills. Your company gets its own space in the app for your trade, under your company code.

  • No. It runs in the browser on your phone or laptop. On a phone you can add it to the home screen and it opens like an app.

  • Yes. GST invoices, tax-inclusive pricing where your trade needs it, and the reports your accountant files from.

  • No. Every bill, customer and report is tied to your company code. Nobody outside your company sees it.

  • A monthly plan sized to how much you bill. We go through it on the demo call, before you commit to anything.

  • The demo call is the try. You see the app for your trade, and your account is activated only after you say yes.

  • Yes. Each company has its own users, so the counter can bill without seeing the owner's reports.

  • Tell us on the call. Travel is next, and the trades we build are the ones people ask for.
