The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Restroworks the 2023 rename from Posist means much of the available documentation, review history and partner material still sits under the old name, which complicates due diligence.
  • They diverge on capability: Craftable covers Weight based bottle counting, Restroworks covers Estate menu and price control.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

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.

Restroworks

  • The 2023 rename from Posist means much of the available documentation, review history and partner material still sits under the old name, which complicates due diligence.
  • The integration catalogue is oriented to Indian and Gulf services, so a Western operator will find familiar accounting, payroll and delivery integrations missing or built to order.
  • Support is strongest in Indian business hours, which leaves European and American sites covering evening service without vendor cover.
  • Enterprise deployments are typically delivered through partners whose capability varies, and implementation quality tracks the partner rather than the vendor.
  • The interface carries the density of an enterprise system built for power users, and high turnover front of house staff need more training than a consumer style cloud POS demands.

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.

Restroworks: Is Restroworks the same product as Posist?

Yes. Posist rebranded to Restroworks in 2023; it is the same platform and company.

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.

Restroworks: Is it usable outside India?

Yes, it has customers in the Gulf, South East Asia and beyond, though its integration ecosystem and support hours are strongest in India.

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.

Restroworks: Does it handle central kitchens?

Yes. Commissary production, indenting and inter outlet transfers are core rather than an add on.

Craftable: Can it handle multiple venues under one group?

Yes, with consolidated reporting across venues, but each venue is priced individually.

Restroworks: How does pricing compare with Western enterprise POS?

Substantially lower for comparable chain functionality, which is the main reason multi region groups adopt it in Asia and the Gulf.
