The best restaurant billing software depends on your orders
Facts from each vendor's own page, read 4 November 2026. Nivasik is one of the products compared.
45-day free trial this Diwali · ₹0 · no card · opening offer · we do the setup
There is no single right restaurant billing software: delivery-heavy restaurants, table-service restaurants and hotel restaurants need different things.
Nivasik is ₹0 for your first 45 days this Diwali (every plan and add-on, no card). After that, you pay less than you pay today, quoted in writing: for those days, less than the paid plans listed here. This is an opening offer. We may change it, or end it, at any time, without prior notice. It does not take Swiggy and Zomato orders by itself.

List prices, not quotes. Petpooja's page marks these 'Price (ex tax)' and does not say per year or per outlet. It lists Swiggy and Zomato integration, which is not live in Nivasik. Read 4 November 2026.
Nivasik is ₹0 for your first 45 days this Diwali. Our lowest-price promise: when the 45-day trial ends, show us what you pay now for similar software and we quote you less, in writing. Not paying for software today? We agree a low price with you before the trial ends. The promise covers a paid plan you are really on, shown by a bill or a renewal quote, compared like for like before tax. It cannot go below a free tier, and it compares price only: what each tool does still differs. You decide whether to continue, and nothing is charged without your yes. This is an opening offer. We may change it, or end it, at any time, without prior notice.
What Nivasik does not do
Said plainly, before you decide
- Swiggy and Zomato orders do not arrive by themselves. They are typed in at the counter and priced at the app's price, with the app's commission booked on each; the link that would deliver them is not live.
- It does not file GST returns or issue e-invoices or e-way bills. GST data is exported, and Tally is an import file, not a live link.
- It takes no card payments and runs no payment gateway. The booking page takes a booking as 'pay at the property'.
- There is no built-in Bluetooth printing. Bills print through the phone's or computer's print window, on 2, 3, 4 or 5 inch rolls.
Questions people ask
Which is the best billing software for a restaurant in India?
It depends on where your orders come from. If most arrive on Swiggy and Zomato, integration matters more than anything, and Petpooja lists it. If most are at tables, look at QR ordering, a waiter's phone and a kitchen screen.
What is the cheapest restaurant billing software?
Nivasik is ₹0 for your first 45 days, with KOT, a kitchen screen and QR ordering, as an opening offer. Swiggy and Zomato orders are typed in, not automatic.
Can I run a restaurant from a phone?
In Nivasik, yes: billing, tables and KOT work in a phone's browser. A printer connects through the phone's print window, and there is no built-in Bluetooth printing.
What should a restaurant check before buying?
Whether KOT and the kitchen screen are in the plan, what delivery-app integration costs, the second-year price, and whether your printer works.
