02 / BEHIND THE COUNTER
One transaction.
A trail you can follow.
Trace a real entry from our simulated register: TX013, 1 November 2026. Gross daily sales precede the separate ₹45 refund entry.
03 / THE MONTHLY RECEIPT
November,
on one piece
of paper.
The opening month is profitable—but startup expenses leave a narrow margin.
Recurring operating profit is ₹19,740. After ₹13,000 of startup expenses and ₹500 interest, first-month pre-tax profit is ₹6,240.

VERIFIED BASELINE
05 / THE MANAGER’S DESK
A clear view
of the whole café.
Verified November totals, company-wide liquidity and separately labelled December forecasts. November budget and simulated actual match by construction.
Cash tells another story. Closing cash and bank are ₹39,746; accrual profit is ₹6,240. Collecting ₹2,854 receivables improves cash by ₹2,854 and changes profit by zero. Current liabilities conservatively include the loan.
Cloud links require the owner’s sharing permissions. Daily dashboard expenses and profits include allocated costs; they are not daily cash payments.
