Indian Restaurant POS Tools Are Too Basic, Costly, or Hardware-Locked

Restaurant owners in India report that available point-of-sale software is either overly basic, too expensive, or requires purchasing proprietary hardware and add-ons, leaving peak-hour order handling, GST billing compliance, waiter-dependent processes, and staff-kitchen communication poorly supported. The fragmentation forces small restaurants and cloud kitchens to cobble together multiple tools or rely on manual workarounds during their busiest periods.
