Restaurant VAT, Service Charge and Daily Closing (Z-Report) in Bangladesh: Automate It in Your POS

Month-end is when restaurant owners discover that VAT, service charge and cash do not match. The cause is almost always manual calculation at the counter. Let the POS do it.

Set rates once

Configure your service charge and VAT/tax percentages in settings. Every dine-in bill applies them consistently; no cashier needs to remember anything.

A receipt guests (and auditors) understand

The restaurant receipt prints a dynamic VAT and service-charge percentage breakdown with the sub-total, so a guest sees exactly why the total is what it is. Smart decimal formatting trims needless zeros so the slip stays clean.

Take payments the way Bangladeshis pay

Cash, card, bKash, Nagad and split payments - all recorded against the right account automatically.

Close the day with X and Z reports

• X-report - mid-shift snapshot without closing.
• Z-report - end-of-day totals: sales, discounts, VAT, service charge, payment methods.
• Cash drawer tally - expected vs counted cash per cashier shift.

Full accounting behind it

Sales flow into customer ledger, Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet. Hourly rush heatmaps and dish profitability rankings tell you what to promote and what to drop.

FAQ

Can I change the VAT or service charge later?

Yes. New bills use the new rate; old bills stay as printed.

Does it work for multi-branch restaurants?

Yes. Each branch closes its own day and the owner sees a consolidated dashboard.

Always confirm the current VAT rules with your tax consultant; the software helps you apply the rates you configure.
