Cheapest Restaurant Billing Software in India (Honest 2026 Price List)

The cheapest restaurant billing software in India costs nothing to a few hundred rupees a month. General GST billing apps start from a few hundred rupees a year, simple restaurant apps from about ₹300 a month, and full restaurant POS systems with KOT, inventory and online ordering usually cost ₹6,000 to ₹40,000+ a year. The cheapest option is right only if it does what your restaurant actually needs.

Below are the price ranges we found in October 2026, what you get at each level, and the costs vendors don't put on the pricing page.

01Price list by type of software

02Prices of popular options (as listed in October 2026)

These are prices shown on vendor websites or software marketplaces such as Techjockey when we checked. Prices and offers change often; confirm on the vendor's site.

• Khatabook / myBillBook / Vyapar: general billing apps with free or low-cost plans; paid plans from a few hundred to about ₹1,100 a year. Not built for restaurants (weak KOT and table handling).
• Loyverse POS: the core POS app is free; some add-ons are paid. Built for small shops and cafes worldwide, less tuned to Indian GST billing habits.
• DineOpen: listed from about ₹300 a month.
• TMBill: listed around ₹6,000 a year.
• Petpooja: listed from around ₹10,000 a year; add-ons cost extra.
• POSist (Restroworks): listed around ₹36,800 a year, aimed at larger restaurants and chains.
• RestroGrow: ₹2,999 a month for small restaurants, ₹4,999 for growing ones, with a 7-day free trial.

To be clear: RestroGrow is not the cheapest option on this list. It includes your own ordering website, WhatsApp ordering, loyalty and marketing tools on top of billing and KOT. If you only need to print bills, a cheaper app is the better choice.

03The hidden costs

GST on the subscription: most prices are shown without 18% GST.

Hardware: a billing printer (₹2,500–₹9,000), a kitchen printer, maybe a tablet. Some vendors require their own hardware at a higher price. See KOT printer prices.

Add-ons: inventory, Swiggy/Zomato integration, loyalty, extra outlets or extra devices are often charged separately.

Setup and training: some vendors charge for installation and menu setup.

Per-order or per-bill fees: rare in billing software, but check. Avoid anything that takes a percentage of your sales.

Switching cost: if your data can't be exported, moving later is painful.

04How to choose without overpaying

1. List what you need today: tables? KOT? parcel orders? stock? more than one outlet?
2. Check it works on what you own: Android phone, tablet or laptop, so you don't need expensive POS hardware.
3. Check offline billing: billing must continue when the internet drops.
4. Ask for the full yearly cost including GST, hardware and add-ons.
5. Use the free trial in a real rush hour, not on a quiet afternoon.
6. Think about orders, not just bills: if you pay Swiggy and Zomato ₹20,000 a month in commission, software that moves even a part of those orders to direct ordering pays for itself.
