When is ResQ the better choice?
An honest comparison cuts both ways. Choose ResQ over Restrofi if:
- Your problem is equipment maintenance, not order management — ResQ tracks repairs, vendors, and work orders, and complements a POS rather than replacing one
- You manage repair costs and service vendors across many locations and need that analytics layer
For most independent and growing Indian restaurants that want QR ordering, KDS, and GST billing without hardware, Restrofi at ₹699/outlet/month is the stronger fit.
