Rikaab vs Petpooja
The most widely installed restaurant POS in India, with a large marketplace of add-ons and integrations. Here is how the two differ for an Indian restaurant that needs GST-correct billing, a fast counter and online orders — including where Petpooja is the better fit.
Side by side
| Rikaab | Petpooja | |
|---|---|---|
| GST invoices built in | Every counter bill is a numbered tax invoice: CGST/SGST or IGST by place of supply, HSN/SAC per line, one gap-free series per GSTIN per financial year, credit notes instead of deletions. | GST billing is available; invoice-series and credit-note handling varies by plan and setup. |
| GSTR-1 export | b2b, b2cl, b2cs, cdnr, hsn and docs sections generated from the invoices you actually issued, ready for your CA. | Reports available; GSTR-1-ready export may need an add-on or an accounting integration. |
| Online ordering | On your own website through a signed partner API — menu, stock and Razorpay checkout stay in sync; no commission. | Online ordering is sold as an add-on (its own storefront / QR ordering), priced on top of the POS. |
| Hardware | Runs on the phone, tablet or laptop you already have; USB, LAN or Bluetooth thermal printers you already own. | Works with common hardware; some bundles sell their own terminals. |
| Contract | Monthly or annual, cancel any time; 14-day free trial without a card. | Typically annual, often sold through a sales call. |
| Your data | Each restaurant strictly isolated and encrypted at rest; GSTR-1 and invoice exports are yours to take. | Varies; check export and portability terms before signing. |
| Pricing | Published: Starter ₹499/mo, Growth ₹999/mo billed annually (₹599 / ₹1,199 month-to-month). GST extra, no setup fee. | Unpublished; third-party listings report ~₹10,000/year per outlet for the core plan, more for tiers and add-ons. |
| Multi-outlet | Many outlets under one login; per-branch FSSAI and invoice series; staff tied to the outlets they work at. | Supported, usually at a higher tier. |
Petpooja does not publish a price list on its own site. Third-party listings (as of October 2026) put the core plan at roughly ₹10,000 a year per outlet, with higher tiers and add-ons such as KDS, inventory and QR ordering priced separately. Confirm with Petpooja directly.
Questions people ask
Is Rikaab cheaper than Petpooja?

Petpooja does not publish its pricing; third-party listings put its core plan around ₹10,000 a year before add-ons.

What does Petpooja do that Rikaab doesn’t?
Pull Swiggy and Zomato orders in automatically, and offer a marketplace of add-ons. Rikaab records aggregator bills with the correct section 9(5) treatment and reconciles payouts, but API sync is on our roadmap, not live.
Can I move my menu and old invoices from Petpooja?
Menu: export it as CSV and import into Rikaab (categories and items; sizes and add-ons are added in the editor). Old invoices: Rikaab imports your previous PDF invoices in a batch so your numbering history stays on record.
