Run a restaurant or cloud kitchen on Swiggy or Zomato out of Chromepet and GST filing has a wrinkle most standalone eateries don’t deal with: for platform-fulfilled orders, the platform itself is the deemed supplier under Section 9(5) and pays 5% GST directly — no TCS, no GSTR-8 for those orders. Chromepet’s food businesses along GST Road serve a factory-worker and staff crowd, and a growing number are turning to Swiggy/Zomato to reach workers who don’t have time to step out for a full meal. Like the manufacturing units nearby, these kitchens usually don’t have a dedicated compliance person either. GST return filing starts at ₹5,990 + GST per year for up to 30 bills a month.

Why Chromepet restaurants need more than basic filing
Chromepet’s Swiggy/Zomato kitchens are shaped by factory shift timings along the GST Road corridor — a lunch rush and a distinct late-night shift-change rush, rather than one midday peak. Kitchens here often run leaner staff than a typical restaurant, with whoever’s free that hour also handling the books, which is exactly when a recurring monthly reconciliation habit tends to slip.
Section 9(5), in plain terms
For most restaurant orders through Swiggy or Zomato, the platform is treated as the supplier — it collects 5% GST from the customer and pays it directly to the government, and you don’t need to charge GST on that order yourself, or claim ITC against it. Your job is to correctly report this value in GSTR-3B Table 3.1.1(ii) as platform-collected supply, separate from your own direct dine-in or takeaway sales, which are taxed normally at 5% (no ITC) or 18% (with ITC, only at specified premises — hotels with room tariff above ₹7,500/night).
What we actually do for Chromepet’s restaurant partners
- Section 9(5) reporting — platform-collected supply correctly separated from your direct sales in every return.
- Rate classification — 5% no-ITC vs 18% with-ITC, applied correctly to your specific setup.
- GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing — on your correct schedule, monthly or quarterly.
- Everything handled over phone and WhatsApp — no need to visit us in person.
- Direct access to your consultant — the same person every month.
A typical Chromepet kitchen we work with runs two distinct order peaks tied to factory shift changes — a midday rush and a late-evening rush — often totalling 250-450 monthly orders across both. Kitchens here tend to be leaner-staffed than a typical restaurant, so the reconciliation check is something we actively manage rather than something the kitchen tracks itself.
Pricing — fixed, no hidden charges
GST return filing for Swiggy and Zomato restaurant partners starts at ₹5,990 + GST per year, covering up to 30 bills a month. Call 70 9232 9232 for a quote if your volume runs higher — same fixed, transparent structure.
What actually costs you, if this slips
For a Chromepet kitchen running on lean staff across two daily shift-change peaks, finding the hours to reconstruct a multi-month reporting gap competes directly with the hours needed to actually run service during those same peak windows.
Mistakes we see Chromepet-area restaurants make
Chromepet kitchens serving factory shifts often have unusual order timing — a lunch and a late-night shift-change rush, rather than a single midday peak — and Swiggy/Zomato’s own reporting reflects that pattern. We build our monthly check around your actual order timing, not a generic restaurant assumption.
- Reporting Section 9(5) orders as regular sales — double-taxing yourself, or misreporting turnover either way.
- Applying the wrong rate slab — 5% no-ITC vs 18% with-ITC needs to match your actual premises classification.
- Multi-outlet confusion — a second kitchen or counter needs to be correctly added as an additional place of business, not silently folded into the main GSTIN’s numbers.
