Compared with POSist
No terminal to buy, and no quarter-long rollout.
It runs on the phone, tablet or laptop already behind your counter. Cafe and QSR modes are purpose-built rather than a large-format system with the difficult parts turned off — and the chain features are waiting when you open the second outlet.
What we do, and what to ask POSist
Every line on the left is something on this site you can go and check. We have not filled in a column for POSist — their pricing and their roadmap are theirs to state, not ours to characterise. So the right-hand column is the question instead. Ask us the same ones.
What it costs
From ₹6,500 a year, quoted per outlet. No setup fee, no per-order commission, no lock-in.
Ask POSist: What is the all-in cost for a year — licence, hardware, setup and any per-order fee?
At the counter
Runs on a phone, tablet or laptop you already own.
Ask POSist: What hardware do I have to buy, and can I bill from my phone if the terminal dies?
At the table
Guest scans the code and orders from their own phone. No app to install.
Ask POSist: Can a guest order and pay from their own phone without downloading anything?
Your own delivery
Your link, your riders, your rider app. No commission on the way through.
Ask POSist: Do I pay a commission on orders that come through my own delivery link?
At the counter, unattended
Self-order kiosk with upsell, tip and token — resets itself between guests.
Ask POSist: Is there a self-order kiosk mode, and is it extra?
Who owns the customer
You do. Names, numbers and order history are exportable, and yours to message.
Ask POSist: Can I export my full customer list today, and who is allowed to market to it?
When stock runs out
The dish switches itself off on the QR menu, the kiosk and the counter.
Ask POSist: When an ingredient hits zero, what happens to the dishes that use it?
What the software tells you
Twelve brain skills that turn up during service with the fix attached.
Ask POSist: Does it tell me what to do, or do I have to go and read a report to find out?
After the bill
Marketing Kit — Google reviews, WhatsApp campaigns, your own customer list.
Ask POSist: What does it do to bring a customer back, and is that a separate product?
Getting out
No lock-in. Export your menu, orders, customers and stock, and go.
Ask POSist: What is the notice period, and what do I get back if I leave?
Why people move
Nothing to buy
The dashboard has a real phone layout, so the floor map, the kitchen board and the cash register all work from a handset. A tablet on a stand is the usual kitchen screen, and it is a browser tab.
Nothing to install and nothing to schedule
From ₹6,500 a year, quoted per outlet, with no setup fee and no implementation phase to book. Menu, QR codes, printers and staff logins go in during one sitting.
Built for a cafe as well as a chain
Counter billing, batch-by-item on the kitchen screen and a kiosk at the till are designed for a cafe rather than adapted down from a large-format system. The chain roles, the group reporting and the multi-outlet menu are there when you need them.
Live in a day, not a quarter
Menu, QR codes, printers and staff logins in one sitting, with our team on the call. There is no implementation phase to schedule.
Moving over
The longest part is usually reading the menu back to you, and that is worth doing slowly.
- 01Export your menu and send it over in whatever shape it comes out.
- 02We import it and check it with you line by line — prices, variants, add-ons, taxes.
- 03Print the QR codes and pair the printers you already have.
- 04Run both for a service if you want to compare the day’s totals.
- 05Go live. Staff training is about an hour.
Questions people actually ask
We run more than one outlet. Does that work the same way?
Yes — outlets sit under a group, staff are scoped to the outlets they actually work at, and the reporting rolls up across all of them. You are billed per outlet, so a second one costs what the first one does rather than moving you onto a different product.
Why is there no column saying what POSist does?
Because we would be characterising somebody else's product from the outside, and getting one line wrong would be both unfair and actionable. Their pricing, their roadmap and their limits are theirs to state. What we can do is state ours plainly and hand you the questions that expose a difference either way — including where the answer favours them. Put the same list to us on a call.
Can we run both for a while?
Yes, and plenty of people do for a day or two. Take orders on both, compare the day's totals at close, and switch fully when the numbers match. Nothing about our side depends on you having cancelled anything first.
What happens to our data if we leave?
You export it — menu, orders, customers, stock — and go. We are monthly, so leaving is a decision you make once rather than a contract you wait out.
Do you charge per outlet or per device?
Per outlet. Add as many devices as you want — counter, kitchen screen, a manager's phone, a kiosk at the till — without the bill moving.
Try it on the hardware you have.
Fifteen minutes on your own menu, on your own phone. Nothing to buy to find out.
