Everything the mess needs

One app for attendance, money and stock

Built with a working canteen, around what actually happens at the counter.

Attendance in one tap

Type a student's number, press Enter — marked. The box clears and keeps focus for the next one.

  • Students self-scan their own QR
  • Exit checkpoint for anyone missed
  • Live check-in feed as they arrive
💳

Cycles & payments

Fixed 30-day cycles whatever the month length, with every instalment kept separately.

  • Pending and paid on every row
  • Cash or online, recorded by you
  • Grace days credited automatically
📦

Kitchen inventory

Enter an item once, then a purchase is two numbers. Mark a sack finished as you use it.

  • Tells you the date each item runs out
  • Low-stock warnings before it bites
  • Cost per sack, month spend
📋

Daily menu & notices

Post once; every active student gets it on their phone with a notification.

  • Announcements and evening holidays
  • Students see it before they walk over
🎓

No student login

A phone number and a password. The owner sets it when they add a student, and can reset it in two taps.

  • Register once from the wall QR
  • Days remaining above the scan button
🧍

Guests & walk-ins

Type 1 for a regular guest, 2 for a special one. The rate is yours to set.

  • No name or account needed
  • Day's takings totalled for you
Dead simple

Questions

Frequently asked

Do students need to create an account?

No MessMate account, no email. They scan the mess's QR once to register, or the owner adds them at the counter — either way they end up signing in with their phone number and a password. If they forget it the owner resets it in two taps, and the student picks a new one straight away.

What if a student forgets to scan?

You can mark them at the counter by number, name or phone, or at the exit checkpoint. Nobody who ate goes unrecorded.

How long is a mess cycle?

Exactly 30 mess days, whatever the calendar month length. If you later mark a past day absent, that day is credited back onto the cycle — up to four times per enrolment.

Does MessMate take payments?

No. Students pay you directly, exactly as they do now. You record each instalment and MessMate keeps the full history and the running balance.

Do I need the Android app?

No — everything works in a browser. The app is just faster to open and keeps you signed in.

Is student data safe?

We collect a name, a phone number and — only if the student chooses — a photo. No Aadhaar, no government ID. Photos and payment screenshots are encrypted before they are stored, with the key held outside the database, and only the student's own mess can read them back.
