Everything Petak does, in order
Petak is a rent ledger for a site of spots. This manual follows the work: draw the plan, let a spot, fill the inputs, collect the period, close it, and keep the book safe.
Set the site up
-
The floor plan and its colours
Read Petak's floor plan: each stall, bay or cage is a spot cell coloured by payment status — paid, due or overdue.

Letting a spot
Add a Petak spot, record its occupant and identifying details, and fill the inputs that must exist before a bill can be calculated.

Charge rules
Set Petak charge rules for base rent, a capped turnover share, metered power, day pitches, late fees and discounts without hiding missing inputs.

Taking a meter reading
Enter the power meter's counter value in Petak. The app subtracts the previous reading, applies the rate and rejects a value that goes backwards.

Crediting a forwarded slip
Match a forwarded payment slip to a Petak spot by bank reference. The reference is stored so the same slip cannot credit two spots.

Closing the period
Close a Petak period after collecting what arrived. The app files the history, rolls readings forward and carries unpaid balances into the next period.
