Offline Billing Software: Internet Down? Keep Billing.

Bill, print, take payments, close shifts and close the day with zero internet, for as long as it takes. Everything syncs by itself when the internet is back.

Why “works offline” usually isn’t enough

Many POS systems stop when the internet drops. Others allow offline billing for a few days, or can take orders offline but can’t close a check or tally cash until they’re back online. For a busy Indian restaurant, that means queues, handwritten bills and a messy day close.

Dineligent is offline-first. Every device keeps its own complete copy of your data. The cloud is only for backup, reports and keeping devices in step, never for billing.

How sync works, in plain words

• Saved together: every order, payment or KOT is saved on the device together with a note to sync it, in one step. A crash or power cut can’t lose one without the other.
• Up and down: when the internet is available, the device uploads its changes and downloads the menu, prices, staff, settings and online orders.
• Every 30 seconds: sync runs every 30 seconds and right after changes, and retries by itself after a failure.
• No clashes: each device has its own invoice series (C1, C2…), so two counters billing offline never clash.
• No duplicates: record IDs are made on the device, so records created offline never collide.

Always know what’s synced

The top bar always shows one of four states:

• ✔ All changes synced
• ⟳ 12 changes waiting to sync
• ⚠ Offline · 34 changes saved on this device
• ❗ 3 changes need attention

Settings › Sync shows when the device last synced, what’s waiting by type, and a Sync now button. The offline banner appears only after 60 seconds and never blocks the screen: “You’re offline. Billing continues; data will sync later.”

Several counters, one restaurant, no internet needed

Large restaurants run several billing counters, captain phones and kitchen screens. Dineligent links them over your own Wi-Fi or LAN:

• Choose one device, usually the main counter, as the LAN master in the dashboard
• Other devices find it on the network by themselves
• Open orders, tables, KOTs, bill requests, kitchen status and “ready” notices are shared live
• If the master is switched off, the others keep working on their own and catch up when it’s back
• If your network blocks discovery, type the master’s address, such as 192.168.1.20

Your data, safe on every device

Built so data can’t go missing

• Crash-safe local database. A power cut doesn’t lose a bill.
• Synced data is never hard-deleted; deleted records are only marked as deleted.
• Stock, loyalty, credit and audit ledgers can only be added to, never edited.
