From Signup to Your First Bill in 10 Minutes on Biller

Published 28 July 2026

Most restaurant owners put off switching POS systems because they assume setup means a lost afternoon, or a paid onboarding call. Here's exactly what it takes to go from signing up to printing your first real bill on Biller.app — realistically, about ten minutes.

The 10-minute path

StepWhat you doRoughly how long 1Sign up — no credit card required for the free tier1 minute 2Enter your outlet's basic details (name, address, GST details if registered)2 minutes 3Add your menu — photograph your printed menu and let AI build the catalog2–4 minutes 4Review the AI-scanned items and fix anything it misread2 minutes 5Set up your tables (optional, if you want table-QR ordering from day one)1–2 minutes 6Ring up your first billunder 1 minute

Before you start: what to have ready

Your printed menu — a phone photo or a PDF, whichever you have handy.
Your GSTIN, if you're GST-registered, so invoices are correct from bill one.
A rough table list, if you plan to use table-QR ordering — you can always add or rename tables later.

What "day one" actually looks like

Sign up. 510 Biller credits land immediately, free — no card, no trial clock, and credits never expire.
Scan your menu. This is normally the slowest step in switching software, and it's the one AI menu scanning is built to shrink — see the full menu-digitization guide for tips on getting a clean first scan.
Review, don't blindly trust. Give the scanned catalog one pass — check prices and categories, especially on multi-price or handwritten items.
Fill any gaps with AI-generated photos and descriptions for dishes that don't have them yet.
Print your first bill. GST is applied automatically if you've entered your details, and the bill format is ready to hand to a customer immediately.

What to set up next (not day one, but soon)

Table-QR ordering, once your menu is confirmed accurate — see our setup guide.
Kitchen wall / KOT routing, if you have a separate kitchen display or printer.
Inventory and insights, once you have a few days of real billing data to look at.

Bottom line

The honest version of "quick setup" isn't a marketing claim — it's a menu scan, a review pass, and a first bill. If any of those steps takes you materially longer than ten minutes, that's worth telling us directly rather than assuming it's just how restaurant software works.
