FAQ

POS software in Chennai — questions

There is no single best one — the right choice depends on your counter. Judge any Chennai POS on four things: does billing stay connected to stock, GST and accounts, or are they separate systems you reconcile by hand; can you add a second counter or branch without buying a new system; can you export all your data whenever you want; and who answers when the counter is stuck on a busy Sunday. Operato is built for shops that answer "yes" to the first two and expect to grow. If you bill five invoices a day and will never add a branch, a simple billing app may serve you better, and we will say so on the demo.
There is nothing to download or install. Operato is cloud software that runs in the browser already on your billing computer — Chrome, Edge or Safari — so there is no setup CD, no licence file per machine and no separate install when you add a second counter. You get a login, we configure your products and GST with you, and the counter starts billing. It also means your data is backed up automatically rather than sitting on one shop PC that can fail or be stolen.
Operato starts at ₹5,999 per outlet per year on the Retail Starter plan — about ₹500 a month, billed annually — and scales by terminals, users and branches. Restaurant, salon and pharmacy products are priced separately. Prices exclude 18% GST — share your shop size on a demo and we will quote exactly.
Setup is delivered remotely as guided onboarding — we configure your counters, GST, invoice print format and product catalogue with you over screen-share, and train your cashiers before the first billing day. Most Chennai shops go live without anyone visiting the counter.
Yes. Operato works with standard USB and Bluetooth barcode scanners, and prints to 58mm or 80mm thermal printers as well as A4 — so the hardware already on your counter usually stays.
Yes. Products, customers, vendors and opening balances are imported by CSV during onboarding, so you go live with your real catalogue and outstanding balances rather than an empty system.
Yes. Sales within Tamil Nadu are billed as CGST + SGST and interstate sales as IGST, configured during setup. GSTR-3B, E-Invoice (NIC) and E-Way Bill are produced from the same sales data.
Both. A single-counter kirana store uses the same billing screen as a multi-branch supermarket — you add terminals, users, branches and features like batch tracking as you grow, without changing systems.
Yes. Operato is cloud-based, so daily sales, cash position and stock across your Chennai outlets are visible from a phone or laptop anywhere.
Billing continues through brief connectivity drops and syncs automatically once the connection is back, so a short outage does not stop the counter.
Yes. Operato Restaurant adds table and touch POS, kitchen display and QR ordering; Operato Pharmacy adds drug schedules, batch expiry blocking and FEFO dispensing. Both bill through the same GST-compliant engine.
Yes. Operato uses role-based access, encryption in transit and at rest, and a separate database per business, with automated backups. You can export your data to CSV or Excel at any time.
