POSist pricing 2026
Checked against POSist's own website on
POSist (Restroworks since 2022) does not publish a price list. Its pricing page asks you to "Get an estimate" and says the price is built from three things: the software modules you need (POS, inventory, Kitchen Suite, insights, CX suite, integrations), your restaurant's size and number of terminals, and optional hardware such as tablets, POS terminals, printers and kitchen display screens.
So the only way to know what POSist costs is a sales conversation, and the figure will differ by outlet count and modules. Ask for the software fee, any onboarding or implementation fee, and hardware as separate lines so you can compare them.
Restrofi publishes one price: Premium at ₹699 per outlet per month or ₹6,999 per outlet for the first year (₹8,388 per outlet per year from year 2), and the Chain plan from ₹9,999 per month for up to 5 outlets plus ₹1,499 per extra outlet. Prices exclude GST. The KDS, QR ordering and GST invoicing are included, and they run on devices you already own.

An honest comparison cuts both ways. Choose POSist over Restrofi if:
- You're an enterprise group beyond ~12 outlets needing custom ERP, supply-chain, and central-kitchen modules (Restrofi's Chain plan covers up to 12 outlets)
- Deep native delivery-platform integrations are central to how your brand operates
- You want KDS prep-time analytics, bump bars and barcode bumping in the kitchen today
- You prefer an implementation team and a hardware partner over self-serve setup
