How to make an app for a biryani shop

A biryani shop cooks in batches: so many handis of chicken, fewer of mutton, and the day is decided by whether you made too much or too little. An app records the handis cooked and portions sold, holds party orders by kg with their advances, and shows how much rice and meat each day took.

Who uses the app

The owner and the counter. If the kitchen or a second outlet needs to see party orders and pre-orders, connect your own Supabase database so they see the same list.

The screens a biryani shop app needs

Today's batches: Handis cooked of each biryani, portions sold so far and portions left
Counter: Single, full and family-pack sales, parcel or dine-in, cash or UPI
Party orders: Orders by date, biryani type, kg, address or pickup, advance and balance
Kept aside: Pre-orders and parcels to keep for a customer, with name and pickup time
Raw material: Rice, chicken, mutton, oil and ghee bought and used each day
Sales: Portions sold by type and day of the week, and party orders by month

Features worth asking for

Portions left shown live from handis cooked minus portions sold
Party orders in kg with the number of handis needed on the day
Advance and balance on every party order, with a WhatsApp confirmation
Kept-aside parcels so pre-ordered biryani isn't sold at the counter
Rice and meat used against portions sold, to check the yield
A party order quotation as a PDF
Sales by weekday, to plan how many handis to cook

Where the data lives

With one phone at the counter, the data can stay on it. If the kitchen or another branch needs the same orders, connect your own Supabase database; to take party advances online, connect your Razorpay account too.

Copy this request, change the details to match your biryani shop, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my biryani shop, Siddiqui Biryani House in Hyderabad. Screens: today's batches, counter, party orders, kept aside, raw material and sales. One handi of chicken biryani gives 20 full portions; a single is half a full. Record handis cooked each day and portions sold at the counter, and show portions left. Party orders are in kg, chicken ₹900 and mutton ₹1,500 a kg, with date, advance and balance, and a quotation PDF. Kept-aside orders are removed from portions left. Record rice and meat used daily. Show sales by weekday. Deep green and gold colours.

Tips for a biryani shop app

Measure how many full portions one handi gives for each biryani, and give AppCub those numbers.
Start with the counter and today's batches. Add raw material once the counter is steady.
Write every party order in kg, not plates, so the handi count is right.
Look at sales by weekday for a month before changing how many handis you cook.
Keep a WhatsApp confirmation format for party orders with the date, kg, advance and pickup time.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to Zomato or Swiggy, weighing scales, billing machines or KOT printers, and it doesn't send automatic messages. Party confirmations go out when you tap the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can a biryani app show how many portions are left?

Yes. Enter the handis cooked and the portions in a handi; every counter sale reduces the portions left.

Can I take party orders by kg in the app?

Yes. Each party order has the biryani, kg, date, advance and balance, and the app shows how many handis that day needs.

Can the app keep pre-ordered biryani aside?

Yes. A kept-aside order is taken out of portions left, so the counter doesn't sell it.

Can the app tell me how much rice and meat I used?

Yes, if you enter what you use each day. It can show it against portions sold, so you can check each handi's yield.

Can customers pre-order and pay in the app?

Yes, with your own Supabase database and Razorpay account. The order appears on your kept-aside list and the money goes to your account.

Will my Zomato and Swiggy biryani orders show in the app?

No. AppCub doesn't connect to delivery apps. You can enter those sales by hand at the counter if you want one total.
