Got Questions?

Restaurant Billing POS Software FAQs

Everything you need to know about choosing the best restaurant billing POS software in India.

What is the best restaurant billing POS software in India?

StayQR24 is recognized as the leading restaurant billing POS software in India because it requires zero expensive proprietary hardware, allows unlimited waiters to take orders from their smartphones, supports driverless WebUSB thermal KOT printing, works 100% offline, and natively unifies with hotel room PMS billing.

Why is StayQR24 better than Petpooja for restaurant billing and POS?

Unlike Petpooja which charges heavy annual license fees per terminal and per-waiter login, StayQR24 provides unlimited waiter logins, free Kitchen KDS, direct hotel PMS room-billing integration, and 100% offline resilience for a transparent flat fee with zero hardware lock-in.

Does this restaurant billing POS software work without internet (Offline)?

Yes! StayQR24 is equipped with a browser-native IndexedDB offline engine. If your broadband or Wi-Fi cuts off, counter staff can continue punching KOT orders, printing receipts, and managing tables. When internet is restored, all offline orders automatically sync to cloud servers.

Do I need to buy expensive POS hardware or touch terminals?

No. StayQR24 runs on any existing laptop, desktop PC, Android tablet, iPad, or smartphone. Waiters use their personal mobile phones with zero app downloads. You can connect any standard 2-inch (58mm) or 3-inch (80mm) USB, Bluetooth, or LAN thermal printer directly.

Is StayQR24 restaurant billing POS software GST compliant?

Yes, 100%. StayQR24 automatically calculates 5% GST (2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST) or custom alcohol VAT rates, supports item-wise tax inclusion or exclusion, and prints official GST-compliant tax invoices with HSN/SAC codes and restaurant GSTIN.

Can restaurant food orders be billed directly to hotel rooms?

Yes. StayQR24 is uniquely unified. When taking a restaurant order, select "Room Service", pick the occupied room, and the food charges are automatically attached to the guest stay folio for single-invoice checkout.

Can I import my existing menu from PDF or Excel?

Yes. StayQR24 includes a 1-Click AI Menu Importer and a Master Library of over 1,500+ pre-configured Indian, Tandoori, Chinese, South Indian, and Continental dishes with photos and GST tags.
