What’s Included in Restaurant GST Filing

Everything a registered restaurant in Kerala needs to stay compliant, month after month.

Monthly / Quarterly Returns

GSTR-1 outward supplies and GSTR-3B summary with tax payment, or QRMP quarterly filing with monthly payment where eligible. Composition dealers: CMP-08 and GSTR-4.

Annual Return

GSTR-9 annual return and reconciliation where your turnover requires it, prepared from the year’s filed data so there are no surprises in December.

POS-to-Return Reconciliation

Sales, tax and payment-method totals from your POS are matched to what is filed and to bank settlements, so the numbers on your returns are the numbers on your bills.

GST Registration

New GSTIN for restaurants, cafés and cloud kitchens, choice between regular and composition scheme, and POS tax set-up to match your registration.

Notices & Mismatch Queries

Responses to GST portal notices, GSTR-2A/2B mismatch queries for hotel restaurants claiming ITC, and corrections through subsequent returns.

Due-Date Tracking

A filing calendar for your restaurant, WhatsApp reminders before each due date and a document checklist, so late fees never appear.

How It Works

Four steps from first call to your first on-time filing.

1

Call or WhatsApp

Tell us your format, turnover band and whether you are already registered. We confirm your returns, frequency and fee.

2

Onboarding

We collect your GSTIN details, past returns and purchase records, and connect your MealNix account or billing exports.

3

Monthly Preparation

Sales and tax are pulled from your POS, purchases reconciled, a draft shared for your OK before the due date.

4

Filing & Confirmation

Returns filed, tax paid, acknowledgement and a one-page summary sent to you on WhatsApp and email.

Why It’s Simpler with MealNix POS

When billing and filing come from the same data, GST stops being a month-end scramble.

Returns from Real Bills

Every MealNix bill carries your GSTIN and item-wise CGST/SGST. Your GSTR-1 is built from actual invoices, not a reconstructed summary.

Correct Rates by Item

5% restaurant service, 18% packaged goods or hotel-restaurant rates are set per item once; the return reflects what was actually charged.

Delivery-App Sales Separated

Swiggy and Zomato orders are tracked as their own channel, making TCS reconciliation straightforward.

Restaurant GST Filing in Kerala — FAQ

Answers to what restaurant owners ask before handing over their GST.

Who files the GST returns – do I still need my own CA?

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.

Which GST returns does a restaurant in Kerala need to file?

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.

Do I have to use MealNix POS to get GST filing?

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.

What documents do you need from me each month?

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.

What happens if a return is late?

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.

Can you help with GST registration for a new restaurant?

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.

How much does GST filing for a restaurant cost?

Pricing is a fixed monthly fee based on your filing frequency and transaction volume, with no per-return surprises. Call +91 90488 32164 or WhatsApp +91 62388 32164 for a quote for your restaurant.
