Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Craftable
- Beverage and food are separately licensed modules, so a venue with a full bar and a full kitchen is quoted twice for the same address and the effective per venue cost is roughly double the headline.
- Invoice digitisation only helps if your suppliers are covered and their documents are legible; a venue buying from small local producers with handwritten dockets will still key those in by hand.
- Accurate variance depends on counting on a fixed cadence, and venues that slip from weekly to monthly counts get numbers too stale to act on, which is the most common reason implementations quietly fail.
- Weight based counting needs connected scales at each venue, an unbudgeted hardware cost that grows with the number of bars in the building.
- Implementation requires mapping every item to supplier catalogue codes and building recipes before the first useful report, typically several weeks of a manager time that nobody has allocated.
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.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Craftable: Is Craftable the same product as Bevager and Foodager?
Yes. Those were the beverage and food product names before the platform was consolidated under the Craftable brand; they are now modules rather than separate products.
Petpooja: How is it priced?
As a flat annual licence per outlet, with add on modules, hardware and payment integration quoted separately by the reseller.
Craftable: Does it replace my accounting system?
No. It codes and exports invoices into an existing ledger such as QuickBooks or Sage Intacct rather than becoming the ledger.
Petpooja: Does it handle GST invoicing?
Yes. Indian tax invoicing and filing ready reporting are core functions rather than add ons.
Craftable: Do I need the scale hardware?
Only for beverage. Weighing partial bottles is what makes liquor variance reliable; without it you are back to tenth of a bottle estimates.
Petpooja: Is it available outside India?
It is used in the United Arab Emirates as well, but it is not sold as a general international product.
Craftable: Can it handle multiple venues under one group?
Yes, with consolidated reporting across venues, but each venue is priced individually.
Petpooja: Does it integrate with delivery apps?
Yes, with Swiggy and Zomato directly, and with middleware such as UrbanPiper for wider channel management.
