RestroAI vs Foodnerd: Order Caps and Add-Ons vs One Flat Price
RestroAI by Taiz · · 6 min read
Foodnerd and RestroAI by Taiz both serve restaurants in Pakistan, but they price differently. Foodnerd sells monthly plans in US dollars with a daily order cap, and charges extra for delivery, extra users and online orders. RestroAI charges one PKR price per branch with every feature included. This comparison uses Foodnerd's published prices and claims, checked on 25 October 2026 from its own pricing page. We have not independently verified them, and we point out where Foodnerd is the stronger choice.

Where Foodnerd is stronger
- Tax integration is advertised. Foodnerd advertises FBR and PRA support, and ZATCA for Saudi Arabia. RestroAI's direct FBR, PRA, SRB and ZATCA integration is not live yet.
- Urdu interface. Foodnerd advertises an Urdu interface. If your staff work best in Urdu, test whether the RestroAI screens you need are available in the language you want before you decide.
- A reach beyond the Gulf. Foodnerd lists customers in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the US and claims more than 1,000 restaurants. That is its own claim and we have not verified it. RestroAI does not publish a merchant count.
- A lower starting price in dollars. USD 34.99 may be below PKR 15,000 depending on the exchange rate, which moves. If you need only the base plan, compare using the current rate.
RestroAI does not yet have live FBR, PRA, SRB or ZATCA integration. Receipts reserve space for the FBR invoice QR code, and sales records and Z reports can go to your tax filer. Ask us for the timeline before you sign up if it is a requirement.
How the cost grows with Foodnerd
The advertised range is wide because the price rises as you add what a delivery restaurant needs. The pieces Foodnerd lists on its pricing page are a daily order cap, a delivery module, a fee on online orders and paid extra users and drawers.
- Order caps. The 100 to 450 orders-a-day cap moves you up a plan as you grow. A busy lunch day can decide which plan you need.
- Delivery module, USD 10 a month. Riders and delivery are not in the base plan.
- 5% per online order. On the online store, a percentage of every order goes to the vendor. At PKR 1,500 per order, that is PKR 75 each. The fee scales with your success.
- Extra users and drawers, USD 10 a month each. A branch with several cashiers or drawers adds to the bill.
We do not convert these to rupees in a table because the exchange rate changes. Use the current rate, add the extras you need, and compare with PKR 15,000. Our restaurant POS price guide shows how to do a full year-one comparison.
How RestroAI prices it
RestroAI charges PKR 15,000 per branch per month with every feature: POS, KDS, ordering website on your domain, Android customer app, rider management, inventory, multi-branch roles and Foodpanda orders. There is no setup fee, no commission on orders and no daily order cap. Growth costs you only extra capacity.
| 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 |
Card payments on online orders go through Stripe, which charges its own processing fee. Hardware is billed separately. The iOS customer app is not available yet; the Android app is included.
Which should you choose
- Foodnerd suits you if you need integrated FBR or PRA invoicing now, want an Urdu interface, or operate in a market where its ZATCA support matters, and your order volume fits a plan's daily cap.
- RestroAI suits you if you run delivery and want your own website and app without a per-order percentage, want one predictable bill, and can wait for tax integration or handle invoicing through your tax filer in the meantime.
