What Restaurant Billing Software Costs in India

Software sold to restaurants is priced in four different ways, and the one on the poster is rarely the only one. Knowing the four makes the quotes comparable.

The four things you get charged for

• A subscription, monthly or yearly, often per outlet
• A commission on orders, taken as a share of what you sell
• Hardware: the terminal, the printer, sometimes a card reader
• Add-ons charged separately: inventory, reports, extra staff logins

A quote that sounds cheap usually has one of the four missing from it. Ask which.

Questions worth asking before you sign

• Is the price per outlet or for the business?
• Does it rise after the first year?
• Is there commission on orders, and on which kinds?
• Are inventory, reports and extra staff logins included?
• What happens to my data if I stop paying?
• Does billing keep working when the internet drops?

What LaaoDo charges

Nothing for taking orders, billing, your menu, udhaar, inventory, expenses, staff access or your sales records. There is no subscription, no commission on orders and no hardware to buy.

The honest comparison

A paid system may suit an outlet that wants a supplier on the phone, an engineer on site, or integrations LaaoDo does not have. That is a real reason to pay.

Paying for table ordering, billing and a sales record is not.
