# SpoonCub vs Petpooja: Which Is Better for Small Restaurants?

Petpooja is a broad restaurant POS. SpoonCub is staff ordering on a phone for one small restaurant. Choose by the daily job, not the feature list.

Choose Petpooja when you want a wide restaurant system: billing, inventory, guest QR ordering, and Swiggy or Zomato tools in one product. Choose SpoonCub when a small team only needs staff to take table and takeaway orders on a phone.

Petpooja is a full Indian restaurant POS. It suits an outlet that will use stock, extra screens, a captain app, and add-on modules. That is useful. It is also more setup than a five-person shop needs on day one.

**SpoonCub**stays on the ticket. Staff tap a table or start a parcel order, add menu items, and check out. Guests do not order themselves. You record UPI, cash, card, or other. If GST is set on the restaurant, checkout shows the breakup. A UPI QR can be shown to the guest; the team still marks the bill paid.

# How to decide this week

- List the five jobs your staff repeat on a Friday night.

- If stock and Swiggy orders are on that list, look at Petpooja.

- If the list is tables, takeaway, menu, and today's collection, look at SpoonCub.

- Do not buy a chain stack for a single counter.
