Restaurant365 is a well-known cloud back-office and accounting platform for US restaurant chains, solving a different problem than restaurant management software. TufTable focuses on the day-to-day problems restaurant owners actually face — slow billing, kitchen mix-ups, and unclear software costs — and solves them at one flat price: Rs.7,000 per year.
A short summary before the details. Every point below is expanded further down the page.

This is the actual TufTable Kitchen Order Ticket screen — included in every plan, live the moment you sign up, on the same system that handles your billing. Restaurant365 doesn't offer a comparable screen of its own — kitchen tickets come from whichever POS you integrate.
Not a POS or KOT product
Restaurant365 is back-office accounting and operations software. It integrates with a separate POS (Toast, Square, and 400+ others) for anything front-of-house, including kitchen tickets and tables.
Restaurant365 and TufTable solve different problems, so this isn't a like-for-like price comparison. Restaurant365 is a US back-office accounting layer billed in USD per location, on top of which a separate POS is still needed. TufTable is one flat number that already includes the POS, KOT, and billing.
Restaurant365 does not publish official pricing; it offers custom quotes. The $435-635/month/location figures are third-party estimates for its Essential and Professional accounting tiers, not confirmed rate cards, and do not include the cost of the separate POS system Restaurant365 requires for front-of-house operations. Restaurant365 is not built for or marketed in India. Confirm current pricing directly with Restaurant365.
We didn't design TufTable to have the longest feature list. We designed it around recurring frustrations restaurants told us about — here's how each one plays out on TufTable versus Restaurant365.
TufTable is a single system — POS, KOT, billing, inventory, QR ordering, and WhatsApp bills all live in one place.
Restaurant365 is a genuinely strong back-office/accounting layer for multi-unit operators, but it is not a POS — it integrates with a separate front-of-house POS (Toast, Square, and 400+ others), so a restaurant runs and pays for two systems instead of one.
Live KOT/kitchen display and table management are included in every plan, ready the moment you sign up.
Restaurant365 has no KOT, kitchen display, or table-management features of its own — those come entirely from whichever POS it's integrated with, which is by design given its focus on back-office operations.
GST-compliant billing is built in from day one, priced and supported for the Indian market.
Restaurant365 is built for the US market — general ledger, AP/AR, and bank integrations are US-centric, with no GST or Indian tax compliance found, and pricing is quoted in USD. This reflects its target market rather than a gap in the product itself.
One flat price, Rs.7,000/year, covers the full day-to-day system a single restaurant needs to operate.
Third-party estimates cite Restaurant365's Essential tier (accounting only) at roughly $435/month/location and Professional (adds inventory, recipe costing, workforce management) at roughly $635/month/location — a reasonable range for the depth of accounting and multi-location reporting it provides, though that's before the cost of the separate POS it requires.
Built so a single-outlet team can be billing, running KOT, and managing tables the same day.
Restaurant365 is purpose-built for multi-unit chains and franchise groups with dedicated back-office staff, and reviewers report a genuinely steep learning curve and significant implementation effort — a fair tradeoff for the depth it offers larger operators, but more than a single-outlet restaurant typically needs.

Restaurant365 is priced as a custom quote per location, in USD, for US-based multi-unit restaurant groups — and that price is for back-office accounting alone, since a separate POS is still needed for kitchen orders, tables, and billing. TufTable publishes one flat number for the Indian market that already includes all of that, which makes budgeting simpler regardless of which platform fits a given operation.
per year, flat
US only, accounting layer — POS not included
They're priced for different things, so a direct comparison needs context. TufTable is a flat Rs.7,000/year for a complete POS, KOT, billing, and inventory system. Restaurant365 is a US back-office accounting layer estimated at roughly $435-635/month/location, and that figure doesn't include the separate POS it requires for front-of-house operations. For an India-based single-outlet restaurant needing one complete system, TufTable is the lower-cost and simpler option; for a US multi-unit chain that needs deep accounting across locations, Restaurant365 is solving a different problem.
Restaurant365 isn't a POS at all, which makes this an easy comparison for a small, single-outlet restaurant — TufTable provides POS, KOT, tables, inventory, QR ordering, and WhatsApp bills in one flat-priced system. Restaurant365 is built for multi-unit chains that already have a POS in place and need a dedicated back-office accounting layer on top of it.
Yes. QR code ordering is included in TufTable's standard plan at no extra cost. Restaurant365 does not offer QR ordering, since it is a back-office accounting product rather than a front-of-house or POS system.
TufTable's published price is Rs.7,000/year flat, all-in. Restaurant365 doesn't publish pricing — third-party estimates put its Essential and Professional tiers at roughly $435-635/month/location (around $5,220-7,620/year), and that's before the separate POS system it requires. On yearly cost alone, TufTable is meaningfully lower, though the two products serve different scopes of work.
The two products don't overlap directly — Restaurant365 handles back-office accounting, while TufTable is a full front-of-house and billing system — so "migrating" usually means a restaurant is consolidating onto one simpler platform rather than doing a like-for-like swap. Menu, table, and staff setup on TufTable typically takes under 30 minutes with onboarding support; historical accounting data would need to be exported separately, and TufTable's support team can walk through the process during the free demo.
