Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Caviar

  • Limited availability to 20 major metropolitan areas
  • Service fee of 18 percent applied to all orders
  • Not available in all regions as standalone service

Petpooja

  • It is built for India and the United Arab Emirates, and tax handling, receipt formats and integrations do not translate to European or American requirements.
  • Sales and support run through a large reseller network, so implementation quality and response times depend on which partner you happened to buy from.
  • The headline annual licence excludes the modules most operators end up needing, so the realistic annual cost is a multiple of the advertised figure.
  • Depth for fine dining coursing, complex table management and hotel outlets is limited compared with systems designed for those formats.
  • Hardware is bundled by resellers rather than supplied to a single standard, which makes support and replacement inconsistent across a multi outlet group.
