How to Give and Track Udhaar (Credit) at Your Outlet

Udhaar written in a diary is only as good as the diary. Recorded against a mobile number, it adds itself up, survives a lost notebook, and tells you who owes what without anybody having to remember.

Giving udhaar

When billing a table or a counter sale, choose credit as the payment method and add the guest's mobile number. The amount is recorded against that number.

A guest can pay part now and owe the rest: split the payment and only the unpaid part becomes udhaar.

Seeing what is owed

The credit ledger lists every guest with an outstanding amount. Open one to see what it is made of.

Settling

Take the money, record it against that guest, and the balance comes down. Part payments are fine.

Several accounts, one family

Accounts can be clubbed where a few numbers really belong to one household or one office, so the total is in one place.
