Looking for a Petpooja alternative? What to compare before you switch

Many restaurant POS products show a starting price for basic billing, then charge separately for modules like KOT, the kitchen display, the captain app, inventory or extra terminals. Ask every vendor, including Petpooja, for the full yearly price with the modules you actually need, plus GST and renewal terms.

TezBill has one plan per outlet with every feature included, so the price you see is the price you pay.

Some POS systems need the internet for billing or for the captain app. Test it: switch the router's internet off during a demo and try to bill, send a KOT and take an order from a waiter's phone. TezBill does all three over your local Wi-Fi.

Whichever software you choose, check these on your own menu before you pay:

• ✓Time to bill a 6-item order
• ✓KOT changes and cancellations
• ✓Waiter ordering without internet
• ✓GST and HSN reports for your accountant
• ✓Staff PINs and approvals for discounts and cancels
• ✓Who you call for support, and in which language

Export your menu from your current software as Excel or CSV and import it into TezBill; the import checks prices, sizes and duplicates before saving. Most restaurants are billing on TezBill the same day.

TezBill doesn't yet receive Zomato or Swiggy orders automatically, and it runs on Windows PCs. If those matter most to you, weigh them in your comparison.
