How it works · inventory without the data entry
Set up recipes & stock with AI
Knowing your food cost and never running out mid-service both start with one tedious job: telling your POS which ingredients each dish uses. Biller suggests that for your whole menu with AI — you review it, then stock deducts on its own. Free, no card.
How it works
Open your menu and tap "Add Ingredients with AI"
It sits next to "Upload Menu Photo" on the Menu screen (admins only). One tap on a single item's edit form gives you "Suggest ingredients (AI)" for just that dish instead.
AI suggests ingredients and amounts for every dish
For each menu item that has none linked yet, it proposes the ingredients and a typical amount and unit for each — and tags every suggestion with a source badge: cache (a similar dish already taught the system this recipe) or gemini (freshly worked out for you).
Review before anything is saved
Nothing touches your inventory yet. Edit any amount that looks off, remove an ingredient that does not belong, or untick a dish to skip it. A dish AI could not confidently suggest for is listed separately with a reason — never silently dropped.
Save — inventory items are created and linked in one tap
Ingredients ARE your inventory items, so accepting a suggestion creates any missing inventory item and links it to the dish together. A progress bar tracks the save, which keeps running on Biller's servers even if you close the tab, and picks up where it left off if you come back.
Why it matters
For a busy Indian kitchen, recipe mapping is the wall most people hit before they ever get useful food-costing or stock control: someone has to sit and type, dish by dish, that a plate of Dal Makhani uses so much dal, so much butter, so much cream. Most POS make you do exactly that by hand — which is why most restaurants never finish it. Biller does the first draft from the menu you already have, in your own vocabulary (it links the Atta you stock, not a new "Wheat Flour"), and leaves the final say with you.
The honest caveats
This is AI proposing a starting point, not a nutritionist signing off — the review screen is a real step.
- It suggests; you decide. Nothing reaches your inventory until you review and save. Amounts are editable, individual ingredients are removable, and any dish can be skipped.
- Created inventory items start at zero stock. Accepting a suggestion creates and links any missing inventory item — but you still set the real on-hand amount from Inventory afterwards.
- Spices are excluded on purpose. They stay a manually tracked inventory item rather than an AI-derived one, so a recipe won't try to deduct a pinch of turmeric per plate.
- It never overwrites a recipe you already set. Adding ingredients is additive only — a dish that already has ingredients linked is left untouched.
Frequently asked questions
Does this decide my recipes automatically?
No — it suggests, you decide. Every ingredient and amount lands on a review screen first, where you can edit amounts, remove anything that does not belong, or skip a dish entirely. Nothing is saved to your inventory until you commit it.
Do I have to set up inventory items first?
No. A dish's ingredients simply ARE the inventory items it consumes, so accepting a suggestion creates any missing inventory item and links it in the same tap. Items AI creates start at zero stock — correct the real on-hand amount from Inventory afterwards.
Will it invent duplicate ingredients?
It tries not to. Before suggesting anything, AI is given the inventory you already stock, so it reuses those exact items rather than near-duplicates — it links the "Atta" you already have instead of adding a separate "Wheat Flour".
What does this get me once ingredients are linked?
Stock deduction on its own. Once a dish is linked to its ingredients, completing a bill subtracts what was used, low-stock alerts fire at your threshold, and a dish whose ingredient hits zero is marked Out of Stock automatically so it cannot be ordered.
Will it overwrite recipes I already set up?
No. Adding ingredients is additive only — a dish that already has ingredients linked is left untouched. Spice ingredients are also deliberately excluded, staying a manually tracked inventory item.
Is it free?
Yes — it is part of the free tier, no credit card required, alongside Biller's free 100 bills a day.
