Where each one falls short

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

Foodics

It is sold only in its supported Middle East and North Africa markets, so a group expanding into Europe or North America has to run a second point of sale platform there.
Revenue comes from payment processing rather than software, so a low subscription usually accompanies a processing rate that costs far more over a year than the licence does.
Merchant lending is underwritten against the card volume flowing through the platform, which makes switching vendors mid facility commercially awkward.
Feature depth is strongest in quick service and cafe formats; fine dining coursing, complex table management and hotel outlet workflows are thinner.
Support quality and reseller capability vary noticeably by country, so an implementation in a smaller market is not the same experience as one in Riyadh.

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

Foodics: Does it handle Saudi electronic invoicing?

Yes. ZATCA electronic invoicing requirements are supported in the platform, which is a principal reason Saudi operators choose it.

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.

Foodics: Can I use my own payment provider?

It is possible in some markets, but the commercial model is built around Foodics payments and the subscription pricing reflects that.

Petpooja: Does it handle GST invoicing?

Yes. Indian tax invoicing and filing ready reporting are core functions rather than add ons.

Foodics: Is it available outside the Middle East?

No. It is sold in Gulf markets and Egypt, and there is no general availability in Europe or North America.

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.

Foodics: Does it work in Arabic throughout?

Yes, including right to left interfaces, Arabic receipts and Arabic reporting rather than a partial translation.

Petpooja: Does it integrate with delivery apps?

Yes, with Swiggy and Zomato directly, and with middleware such as UrbanPiper for wider channel management.
