Petpooja pricing in 2026: plans, add-ons and what to check

Short answer: Petpooja publishes its prices on its own pricing page. As of 21 October 2026 it lists a Base Plan at ₹12,000, with two optional add-on lines: an Operations Manager (Growth ₹20,000, Scale ₹30,000) and a Marketing Manager (Core ₹20,000, Growth ₹30,000, Scale ₹40,000). Petpooja says these figures are "exclusive of applicable taxes" and "indicative and subject to change," and the page does not state whether they are billed per month or per year — so confirm the billing period and current price with Petpooja before you buy.

Petpooja is a restaurant POS and billing platform. If what you actually need is a 0% commission ordering page, QR menu and WhatsApp ordering rather than full POS billing, your cost can be very different. This page breaks down Petpooja's published pricing, the extras to watch for, and where a direct-ordering tool like Menuthere fits.

What Petpooja publishes

Unlike many Indian restaurant-tech vendors that only say "book a demo," Petpooja does list numbers. Here is what its pricing page showed on 21 October 2026.

* The Base Plan carries an asterisk. Petpooja's page states the prices are "Exclusive of applicable taxes" and that "Plans and offerings are indicative and subject to change."

Two things the page does not spell out:

• Billing period. No "/month" or "/year" label sits next to the figures in what we could read. Petpooja's base plan has long been quoted elsewhere as an annual figure, but because the cadence isn't stated on the page itself, don't assume — ask Petpooja whether ₹12,000 is monthly or yearly for your outlet.
• Hardware and setup. A POS usually needs a billing device, printer and sometimes a KOT setup. Those aren't in the headline price. Ask what hardware and onboarding cost on top.

The real cost of a POS: add GST and extras

Whatever the subscription, the amount that leaves your account is bigger. For any Indian restaurant POS, budget for:

• 18% GST on the software fee (Petpooja's prices are shown before tax).
• Add-on modules. Petpooja's own structure separates a Base Plan from Operations Manager and Marketing Manager add-ons — the fuller you go, the more you pay.
• Payment-gateway fees. Online payments carry a gateway charge (commonly around 2% plus GST on the fee) regardless of which POS you use. That goes to the gateway, not the POS vendor.
• Per-outlet licensing. Multi-outlet brands are usually priced per outlet.
• Hardware and onboarding, as above.

Worked example (illustrative, confirm current rates with Petpooja): a single outlet on the ₹12,000 Base Plan would pay ₹12,000 + 18% GST = ₹14,160 for the software line alone, before any Operations/Marketing Manager add-on, hardware or gateway fees. Use this as a budgeting frame, not a quote.

What you get — and what you still pay commission on

Petpooja's core job is POS billing and operations: its homepage calls Poss "Restaurant POS software made simple" and it says it serves 1,50,000+ businesses. It also sells Scan & Order (a QR code opens your menu in the guest's browser and the order flows into billing) and lists 200+ integrations across online ordering, delivery, loyalty, payments and messaging.

Important for your budget: a POS does not remove the commission you pay to Zomato or Swiggy. Those marketplaces take their cut on every order they bring, separately from your POS bill. See what they charge in Zomato commission in India and Swiggy commission in India. The way to cut that is to move repeat customers to a direct channel — your own page, QR or WhatsApp.

Where Menuthere fits (and where it doesn't)

Menuthere is not a full POS. If you need GST billing, KOT, inventory and table management across a chain, that is Petpooja's territory, and it publishes a price for it.

Menuthere does one thing: a commission-free direct-ordering page with QR menus and WhatsApp ordering, priced simply.

Menuthere's prices are billed in US dollars. Lite and Pro include a 7-day free trial: a card is needed to start and nothing is charged until the trial ends. The Free plan needs no card.

Many Indian restaurants run a POS for billing and a direct-ordering page to cut marketplace commission — the two solve different problems. See the fuller Petpooja alternatives and Menuthere vs Petpooja pages.

How to compare POS quotes fairly

1. Ask for the billing period in writing — monthly or annual, per outlet.
2. Add 18% GST to every software line.
3. Separate the gateway fee — it's charged by the gateway, not the POS.
4. Price the add-ons you'll actually switch on, not the base alone.
5. Count hardware and onboarding as one-off costs.
6. Check what cuts commission — a POS alone doesn't; a direct channel does.
