The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; 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: Petpooja covers Flat annual licence, 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.

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.

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

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.

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

Petpooja: Does it handle GST invoicing?

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

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.

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.

Restroworks: Does it handle central kitchens?

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

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

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.
