Accounting and POS software for catering and cloud kitchens in Singapore

A corporate lunch order comes in by email, delivery-platform tickets print in the kitchen, and the counter rings up walk-ins on a separate till. Someone re-keys all of it into a spreadsheet at midnight, and by the time the GST F5 return is due nobody is confident the sales figure is complete. Missed or double-entered orders quietly eat the margin on jobs you already delivered.

Chicken, seafood and cooking oil prices move week to week, but menu prices and event quotes stay fixed for months. Without live ingredient costs against each dish, a catering package that looked profitable in January can be losing money by June. Waste, over-portioning and spoilage in a shared cloud kitchen make the gap even harder to see.

Cash goes out for ingredients, packaging and part-time crew the same week the event happens, but the office client pays on their own schedule. Chasing invoices by WhatsApp and email means some simply age out of memory. Meanwhile GST on those sales is already accounted for, so the timing squeeze is real.

Once you cross the S$1,000,000 taxable turnover threshold, GST registration turns every receipt, delivery-platform commission statement and supplier bill into something you must be able to produce later. Loose receipts in a drawer and three months of unreconciled bank lines make each GST F5 return a scramble. With InvoiceNow (Peppol) e-invoicing now part of how Singapore businesses trade, ad-hoc PDF invoices are looking increasingly dated.

Ring up counter and event sales on the Tallium AI POS, raise proper invoices for corporate catering clients, and log delivery-platform payouts as they land — all under one account. Every channel posts straight to the same ledger, so your sales total is one number, not a reconciliation exercise. Kitchen staff, event coordinators and your accountant can all be in at once, because every plan has unlimited users and no per-seat fees.

Track ingredients by unit, link them to recipes, and see stock fall as orders are fulfilled instead of guessing at stocktake. Purchase orders record what you actually paid, so when the price of prawns moves your dish cost moves with it. That turns quoting a 200-pax buffet from a gut feel into a calculation you can defend.

Create a catering invoice from the event booking, send it the same day, and let Tallium AI track what is outstanding and how long it has been sitting. Deposits, balance payments and per-head adjustments are all handled on one document. Bank reconciliation matches incoming payments automatically, so you always know which corporate accounts are actually current.

Set GST on your items once, scan supplier bills and receipts with your phone, and let Tallium AI's AI categorise them into the right expense accounts. When it is time to prepare your GST F5 return, the sales and input tax figures are already sitting in your reports rather than waiting to be rebuilt. Please confirm current rules with IRAS or a local tax professional before filing.
