1 · Before the cut-off
Away tomorrow? Let the kitchen know.
A family going away can stop its thali for those dates. One less call for them; one less message for the office to keep track of.
- A day, a range, or until further notice
- A stop covers any dates. One entered today counts from tomorrow.
- Weekly stop days
- No thali on chosen weekdays, every week, set once.
More · Before the cut-off
- A different size for a while
- The office sets a size for chosen dates; it returns to normal after.
- On Telegram, in an app, or by the office
- @FmbThaliBot, a jamaat's own app through the API, or staff on a member's behalf.
2 · At the cut-off
A count the kitchen can cook to.
There comes a point when the kitchen needs a number. Your mohalla sets the cut-off; members make their changes before it.

The right thalis, on the right trip.

Beyond the day
One register behind it all.
Takhmeen, receipts and statements
Each household's takhmeen for the Hijri year, the receipts against it and a statement that adds up, alongside niyat, expenses and vendor records.
Your mohalla, your way
Your menu, your cut-off, your team. Each mohalla keeps its own records, with staff access limited to the mohalla they serve.
Your jamaat's own app
Members can use your Jamaat’s app too. Your development team can connect it to FMB for thali status, stops, starts and size changes.
Questions
What mohallas ask before they join.
What does a mohalla need to start?
A list of its thalis, the sizes it serves, its cut-off hour and the staff who will run it. Thalis can be brought in from ITS by MuminID. We set the mohalla up as its own sector, so its records stay its own.
How do members stop or start their thali?
On @FmbThaliBot on Telegram, once they have linked their thali with its own key. A jamaat's own app can do the same through the FMB API, and the mohalla's office can act for any member.
What happens at the cut-off?
Each mohalla sets the hour after which tomorrow's thali can no longer change, and the kitchen's count is fixed. A stop entered today counts from tomorrow. Late requests are refused with the reason; the office can still make a change when the kitchen agrees.
Can our jamaat's own app connect?
Yes. FMB API v1 gives your app a key limited to your mohalla: it can read thalis, stops, menus and calendars, and stop, start or change a size under the same rules as the bot. Every call is recorded.
Can one mohalla's staff see another mohalla's thalis?
No. Each mohalla is its own sector: staff accounts belong to one mohalla and work only with its thalis, takhmeen and receipts.
Where do members sign in?
