Restaurant POS System Cost in India (2026)

Short answer: most cloud POS software in India is sold as a per-outlet subscription, and the advertised figure is often not the final one — setup fees, add-on modules, extra outlets and hardware are commonly billed on top. SynexPOS is ₹749 per month per device, every feature included, with no setup fee and no add-ons.

The rest of this guide breaks down where the money actually goes, so you can compare two quotes properly rather than comparing one headline number against another.

What are you actually paying for?

A POS quote in India usually has up to five separate parts. Only the first is normally advertised.

Per outlet, per device, or per user?

This is the single biggest reason two quotes that look similar end up costing very differently. A restaurant running a counter till, two waiter tablets and a kitchen screen is one outlet but four devices. If the price is per device, the real monthly cost is four times the number you were quoted.

Ask plainly: “Does this price cover every device in the outlet, or do I pay again per terminal?”

Why is the price often hidden?

Plenty of Indian POS vendors do not publish pricing at all — you fill in a form and get a call. That is not automatically a worse deal, but it does mean the figure is set per customer, and you cannot compare vendors without sitting through demos. It usually indicates that the final price depends on which modules you agree to.

What each POS actually publishes

Rather than describe the problem, here is the state of it. Every figure below was read off that company’s own website on 19 September 2026 and is quoted the way their page words it. Where a page carries no figure, the row says so — we have not filled in a number from a third-party listing.

Two of the seven publish a figure you can act on without speaking to anyone. One publishes a number without saying what period it covers. Four publish nothing at all.

And the honest comparison, since the point of the table is to be useful rather than flattering: RoyalPOS’s ₹5,999 a year is lessthan SynexPOS at ₹749 a month, which is ₹8,988 a year. The word doing the work in their line is “from” — what the base covers, and what the add-ons cost, is the thing to establish before comparing the two. That is the same question this article opened with, and it applies to us as much as to anyone.

Prices change, and none of these companies tells us when they change theirs. Check for yourself before deciding: Petpooja, RoyalPOS, Restroworks, TMBill, Ciferon, SlickPOS.

What does the cheapest option really cost?

A low headline price is worth checking against three things: whether it is introductory (rising at renewal), whether the features you need are in the base plan, and whether it requires their hardware. A ₹500 plan that needs a ₹15,000 terminal and charges extra for inventory is not cheaper than a flat plan that runs on the laptop you already own.

Questions to ask before you sign

• Is this price per outlet or per device?
• Is there a setup, onboarding or training fee?
• Which features are add-ons rather than included?
• What does it cost at renewal, not just in year one?
• Do I have to buy your hardware, or can I use my own?
• What happens to billing if my internet goes down?
• Can I export my data if I leave?

What SynexPOS costs

₹749 per month, per device. Every feature is in that price — billing, GST invoicing, kitchen display, table map, inventory, 13 report types, staff attendance, loyalty and multi-branch. No setup fee, no per-feature charge, and every device in the outlet is covered.

It runs in any browser, so no special hardware is required, and the Windows desktop app keeps billing and printing during an internet outage, syncing once the connection returns. The trial is 15 days with no credit card.
