What they don't tell you

6 hidden costs that make restaurant software 3× more expensive.

The advertised price is rarely the real price. Here are the line items that only appear after you've signed the contract.

Setup / Installation Fee

₹5,000 – ₹20,000

Many providers charge a one-time setup fee before you even see the software. Some include "onboarding" as a separate service. Billoop charges nothing — our team sets you up on a call at no cost.

Proprietary Hardware

₹8,000 – ₹40,000

Some software works exclusively with their branded POS terminals, kitchen displays or receipt printers. This hardware cost isn't in the plan price. Billoop runs on any Android tablet, laptop or desktop you already own.

Module Add-ons

₹500 – ₹3,000/mo each

KDS, QR menus, HRMS, loyalty and advanced inventory are often separate purchases. Four add-ons at ₹800/month each adds ₹3,200/month to your bill. In Billoop, all modules are included.

Annual Lock-in

12-month contracts

Annual upfront pricing sounds cheap but locks you in. If the product doesn't work for you, there are no refunds. Billoop offers monthly billing with no lock-in — cancel anytime.

Per-Branch Fees

₹500 – ₹2,000/mo per branch

Multi-outlet pricing gets expensive fast if each branch is charged separately. Billoop's Growth plan includes up to 3 branches and Pro includes up to 10 — in the same flat monthly price.

Support & Training

₹2,000 – ₹10,000

Some providers charge for onboarding sessions, phone support or training your staff. Billoop includes onboarding, email support and a WhatsApp helpline at no extra cost.

Common questions about restaurant software pricing in India.

How much does restaurant billing software cost in India?

Restaurant billing software in India ranges from ₹0 (free starter plans) to ₹10,000+ per month for enterprise chains. Most single-outlet restaurants pay ₹500–₹2,500/month for a full-featured plan. Petpooja charges ₹5,000–₹9,000 per year upfront. Billoop starts at ₹0 (Starter) and ₹999/month (Growth) with a free 3-month trial.

What are hidden costs in restaurant billing software?

Common hidden costs include: one-time setup/installation fees (₹5,000–₹20,000), hardware purchase requirements, add-on fees for KDS, QR menus, HRMS and inventory, annual renewal lock-ins, and per-branch pricing. Always ask for the total cost of ownership, not just the base plan price.

Is there a free restaurant billing software in India?

Yes. Billoop offers a free Starter plan for single-outlet restaurants that includes core POS billing, GST-compliant invoicing and basic reporting — with no time limit and no credit card required. Most other free-tier options are heavily restricted trial versions.

Which is the cheapest restaurant POS software in India?

For ongoing monthly cost, Billoop is among the most affordable with a free Starter plan and paid plans from ₹999/month — all modules included, no add-ons. For annual upfront pricing, many local reseller-based products offer low base prices but charge separately for hardware, setup and modules.

Should I choose annual or monthly billing for restaurant software?

Monthly billing gives you flexibility — if the software doesn't fit your restaurant's workflow, you can switch without losing a year's payment. Annual plans typically offer 15–20% discounts. We recommend starting monthly (especially with a free trial), validating the software for 60–90 days, then considering annual if you're happy.
