Short pieces from the BasilBook team on restaurant accounting, POS integrations, automatic sync, and operating a real café in Cambodia.
BasilBook now reads your purchases, sales and stock every day and flags what moved: price creep, discount drift, slow days, waste and money that never reached the bank. Every alert shows its numbers.
Move and resize the cards, hide what you never read, add the chart you check every morning, and choose the day the dashboard opens on — without changing anyone else's.
Arrange the charts, save the questions you ask every week as named views that move with the calendar, and pin the one chart you want on your dashboard.
Put the pages you open every day at the top of the sidebar and hide the ones you never do. It is your menu alone, on the web and in the app, and a hidden page is never out of reach.
Send an issued invoice to your own Telegram group as a PDF, then forward it — instead of downloading a file on a laptop you are not sitting at.
Send /total in the group your bank alerts already land in — received, sold, and the gap between them, without opening a laptop.
Automatic sync pulls sales and attendance hourly, every 6 hours or daily. Why each run re-reads the last three days instead of resuming from a bookmark — and what stops it going wrong while nobody is watching.
One access token, one store, and your receipts start posting balanced journals — including the multi-store trap that catches most people on the first try.
Let payroll start from what your team actually worked — and why the link is built on employee IDs rather than usernames, so a rename never silently breaks it.
CamInvoice is already mandatory for government bodies and is expected to reach private-sector taxpayers next. What changes, why an invoice total is no longer enough, and four things to do now.
Forward your bank's Telegram alerts (or a direct webhook) so every KHQR and transfer is captured and auto-reconciled to the sale.
A 5-minute walkthrough: generate a HangPopok API token, paste it into BasilBook, and let products and sales sync — with journal entries posted automatically.
The gap between what your recipes say and what your stock count shows is where money quietly leaves the kitchen. Five causes, a healthy-vs-leak scale, and a four-week playbook to close it.
