Restaurant POS Price in Pakistan 2026: What a Complete System Really Costs
RestroAI by Taiz · · 8 min read
Most restaurant software in Pakistan looks cheap. Plans start at PKR 2,000 to 5,000 a month, and that number is what shows up in a search. But that price usually covers the POS only. The ordering website, the customer app, riders, Foodpanda and tax integration sit in higher plans, in paid add-ons or behind setup fees. This guide compares the published prices of six systems for one branch, so you can see what a complete system costs, not just the entry plan. It is written by the team behind RestroAI by Taiz, so we say plainly where our price is not the lowest.
What a complete restaurant system needs
Before comparing prices, decide what "complete" means for your restaurant. A POS that prints bills is the start. A restaurant that also takes delivery orders needs more than that. These are the parts most owners end up needing within a year of opening.
- POS and kitchen display (KDS). Billing for dine-in, takeaway and delivery, with orders reaching the kitchen on a screen instead of paper.
- Your own ordering website. Customers order from you directly, with no marketplace commission on each order.
- Your own customer mobile app. A branded app for repeat customers, so they do not have to go through a marketplace to find you.
- Rider and delivery management. Rider profiles, assigning orders to riders and tracking delivery status, so delivery does not run on WhatsApp groups.
- Multi-branch control and roles. One owner view across branches, with separate access for managers, cashiers and kitchen staff.
- Inventory. Ingredient stock, recipes and purchase orders, so food cost is not a guess.
- Foodpanda and tax integration. Foodpanda orders in the same order list as everything else, and e-invoicing for FBR, PRA or SRB where your province requires it.
Honest note on tax: RestroAI's direct FBR, PRA, SRB and ZATCA integration is not live yet. Receipts reserve space for the FBR invoice QR code, and sales records and Z reports can be handed to your tax filer. If live tax integration is a requirement today, ask us for the timeline before you sign up, and check the tax-integration column of any vendor you compare. Several competitors advertise it as live.
The real price of a complete system
The table below shows each vendor's advertised price for one branch, the one-time fees, and what is not in the base price. Prices were checked on 25 October 2026, from each vendor's own pricing page. Competitor claims come from their own sites and are not independently verified. Check current prices with the vendor before you decide.
| Vendor | Advertised price | One-time fees | Not in base price |
|---|---|---|---|
| RestroAI | PKR 15,000/month per branch, all features (1 POS, 1 KDS, 3 riders, 5 order takers) | None | No feature is extra; only extra terminals, screens, riders and users |
| WOS (OnlineOrder.pk) | PKR 4,999 to 25,000/month | PKR 25,000 to 35,000 app fee; 2 months paid in advance | POS, KDS and inventory only in Golden (PKR 25,000); iOS app from Professional; domain, hosting, hardware extra |
| Nosh | PKR 1,999 to 4,999/month; Pro custom | PKR 5,000 to 15,000 onboarding | Riders, Foodpanda, tax integration and table ordering only in Pro (custom price); customer app is a paid add-on; 5 to 15 user limit |
| Foodnerd | USD 34.99 to 74.99/month | None | Daily order caps (100 to 450); delivery module USD 10/month; online store 5% per online order; extra users and drawers USD 10/month each |
| HysabOne | From PKR 3,499/month | None | No online ordering website or customer app mentioned on its page |
| Oscar POS | Free POS and card machine | None | 1.2% + Rs 10 on every card payment; online ordering page offered separately |
Three patterns repeat across the market. First, the low advertised price is for the POS alone. Second, features are unlocked by moving up a plan, so the price you pay depends on the one feature you cannot do without, such as riders or the customer app. Third, some prices are not in rupees or not published at all: Foodnerd prices in US dollars with daily order caps, and Nosh's Pro plan, which holds riders, Foodpanda and tax integration, has no published price.
None of this makes the cheaper options a bad choice. If you run one counter, take no delivery orders and only need billing, a free or PKR 3,499 plan may be exactly right. The mistake is comparing that price with a complete system and calling the difference "savings".
Why RestroAI is one price
RestroAI charges PKR 15,000 per branch per month and every feature is included. A branch gets 1 POS terminal, 1 KDS screen, 3 riders, 5 order takers, one central ordering user and one user for every other role. There is no app fee, no commission on orders and no contact-sales plan. The Android customer app is included; the iOS app is not available yet.
A busier branch pays only for extra capacity, never for features. A small restaurant gets exactly the same features as a 20-branch chain. These are the add-on prices.
| Per branch | Included in PKR 15,000 | Extra capacity |
|---|---|---|
| All features, website, mobile app | Every feature, no feature locks | Nothing extra |
| POS terminals | 1 | PKR 2,000/month each |
| Kitchen display (KDS) screens | 1 | PKR 1,000/month each |
| Riders | 3 | PKR 500/month each |
| Order takers | 5 | PKR 500/month each |
| Central ordering users | 1 | PKR 1,000/month each |
| Users in every other role (manager, kitchen, cashier, etc.) | 1 per role | PKR 500/month each |
Two worked examples
- Busy single branch: 2 POS terminals and 6 riders. That is PKR 15,000 + 1 extra terminal (PKR 2,000) + 3 extra riders (PKR 1,500) = PKR 18,500 a month.
- Large operation: 15 POS terminals and 50 riders. That is PKR 15,000 + 14 terminals (PKR 28,000) + 47 riders (PKR 23,500) = PKR 66,500 a month.
Hardware is billed separately. The system runs on any tablet or touchscreen with a browser, and receipt printers and cash drawers are supported. Card payments on online orders go through Stripe, which charges its own processing fee on card payments. That fee exists with any card-taking system and is separate from the RestroAI price.
Year one for one branch
Monthly prices hide one-time fees, so compare a full year. Where a vendor publishes enough to calculate it, the year-one numbers for a complete one-branch system look like this.
| System | Calculation | Year one |
|---|---|---|
| RestroAI | 15,000 × 12 | PKR 180,000 |
| WOS Golden | 25,000 × 12 + 35,000 app fee, plus domain, hosting and hardware | PKR 335,000 |
| Nosh Pro | Riders, Foodpanda and tax integration are in Pro | Price not published |
On those numbers, a branch on RestroAI pays PKR 155,000 less in year one than on WOS Golden, before WOS's domain, hosting and hardware costs. Nosh Pro cannot be compared because its price is not published. For a head-to-head on WOS, see RestroAI vs WOS.
How to price your own system
- List the features you need in the next 12 months, not today: delivery, a customer app, a second branch.
- For each vendor, find the lowest plan that contains all of them. If that plan says "custom" or "contact sales", note that the price is unknown.
- Add one-time fees: app fee, onboarding, advance months, domain and hosting.
- Add per-order costs: commission, card fees, and daily order caps that could push you into a higher plan.
- Multiply by 12 and compare. The cheapest monthly number is rarely the cheapest year.
We cover the extras that catch owners out in hidden costs in restaurant software, and the order-commission side in own ordering app vs Foodpanda commission.
What to do next
Check the pricing page for the full list of what is included and the capacity calculator. RestroAI is not the cheapest software you can buy: Oscar POS has a free POS, HysabOne starts at PKR 3,499 and Nosh from PKR 1,999. The honest claim is the lowest price we found for a complete system, with the website, app, riders and Foodpanda in one fixed price.
