GST Billing
All three support GST billing with auto CGST/SGST/IGST. Geenil handles GST out of the box even on the free plan, including WhatsApp bill sharing and UPI QR codes embedded in every invoice. PetPooja's GST billing is mature and battle-tested — it has been used by thousands of restaurants across India. Posist has full GST compliance including e-invoicing (e-invoice is mandatory for businesses above Rs 5 crore turnover).

Who Should Use Geenil?
Geenil is the right choice if: you are starting out and want free restaurant billing software before committing to a paid plan; you run a small to mid-size restaurant, cafe, dhaba, or cloud kitchen; you want to go live fast — Geenil setup takes 2 minutes; you want WhatsApp bill sharing and UPI QR in bills without add-on fees; or your budget is under Rs 1,000/month for restaurant software.
Who Should Use PetPooja?
PetPooja is the right choice if: you run an established restaurant and are comfortable paying Rs 750-1,000/month; you want a product with a large support team and wide availability across India; you need features like loyalty cards, aggregator management, or multi-location reporting; or you prefer a product used by thousands of other Indian restaurants.
Who Should Use Posist/Restroworks?
Posist is the right choice if: you operate a chain, franchise, or QSR group with multiple outlets; you need enterprise features like central kitchen management, franchisee reporting, or e-invoicing; or you are running a high-volume operation where software downtime costs you significantly. The pricing reflects its enterprise focus.
Our Recommendation
For single-outlet restaurants and new openings: start with Geenil's free plan. You get real GST billing from day one at no cost. If you later need KDS or table management, upgrade to Silver at Rs 499/month with the 40% early member discount. For established mid-size restaurants: compare Geenil Gold (Rs 999/month) vs PetPooja's annual plan — they are in the same price bracket but Geenil is month-to-month with no annual lock-in. For chains and multi-outlet operators: Posist is built for your scale.
