One service for the formats that make up Kerala’s food trade.
Four steps from first call to your first on-time filing.
Tell us your format, turnover band and whether you are already registered. We confirm your returns, frequency and fee.
We collect your GSTIN details, past returns and purchase records, and connect your MealNix account or billing exports.
Sales and tax are pulled from your POS, purchases reconciled, a draft shared for your OK before the due date.
Returns filed, tax paid, acknowledgement and a one-page summary sent to you on WhatsApp and email.
When billing and filing come from the same data, GST stops being a month-end scramble.
Every MealNix bill carries your GSTIN and item-wise CGST/SGST. Your GSTR-1 is built from actual invoices, not a reconstructed summary.
5% restaurant service, 18% packaged goods or hotel-restaurant rates are set per item once; the return reflects what was actually charged.
Swiggy and Zomato orders are tracked as their own channel, making TCS reconciliation straightforward.

Answers to what restaurant owners ask before handing over their GST.
Our GST team prepares and files your returns from your MealNix sales data and purchase bills. Many restaurants use us instead of a separate accountant for GST; if you already have a CA, we can work alongside them and share the reconciled data.
Most registered restaurants file GSTR-1 (outward supplies) and GSTR-3B (summary and payment) monthly, or quarterly with monthly payment under the QRMP scheme if turnover allows, plus the annual GSTR-9 where applicable. Composition dealers file CMP-08 quarterly and GSTR-4 annually. We confirm your filing frequency when you onboard.
No. GST filing is available to any restaurant in Kerala. It is faster and cheaper for MealNix users because sales, tax and payment data flow directly from the POS, but we also work from your existing billing software exports or bill books.
Your POS sales and tax report (automatic for MealNix users), purchase invoices for the month, bank statements if we handle reconciliation, and any credit/debit notes. We send a reminder before the due date and a checklist on WhatsApp.
Late filing attracts late fees and interest under GST law. We track due dates for you, send reminders, and file on time when documents are received as scheduled; if a deadline is at risk we tell you in advance rather than after.
Yes. We handle new GST registration for restaurants, cafés and cloud kitchens in Kerala, including choosing between the regular scheme and composition scheme, and set up your POS tax configuration to match.
