Rista (by Dot Pe) is a well-known name in India's 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. No sales call needed, and no risk of app instability before you can tell your kitchen an order is ready.
Pricing not published
Rista does not publish plan pricing on Capterra or GetApp — third-party figures exist but are inconsistent, so cost is only confirmed via a sales quote.
Rista does not publish official pricing — Capterra and GetApp both list it as unavailable. The third-party figures that do circulate are inconsistent, so we're showing a conservative, clearly-labeled range rather than a precise number.
Rista does not publish pricing on Capterra, GetApp, or its own site. Third-party figures ($139-278/license/store, or Rs.1,200/pack) are inconsistent and unverified, so the range shown is a conservative, labeled estimate, not a confirmed figure. Confirm actual cost directly with Rista sales.
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 Rista.
One flat, published price: Rs.7,000/year — no quote call, no negotiation.
Rista pricing is negotiated rather than published; Capterra and GetApp list "no pricing information." Third-party figures that do exist (roughly $139-278 per license/store, or Rs.1,200/pack) are inconsistent, so the real annual cost is hard to pin down without a quote.
Sized and priced for a single restaurant or small group — one flat fee, no per-store licensing complexity.
Rista is a proven platform trusted by large multi-brand chains like McDonald's, Subway, Haldiram's, and PVR — a strong signal of enterprise reliability, though its scope and licensing model lean toward multi-brand operations rather than a single small restaurant.
WhatsApp bill and update module works reliably at the point of billing, included in every plan.
Rista also offers digital bills via WhatsApp, which puts it ahead of most competitors on this front — though some users report app bugs that can delay sending a bill until an order is fully closed.
Support team based in Surat, reachable directly on WhatsApp and phone — same-day answers, not a ticket queue.
Rista support is used successfully by large chains at scale, though some users report inconsistent response times and occasional backend delays affecting third-party integration syncs.
Built with a clean, current interface so staff can read tables, KOT, and reports at a glance.
Rista is a feature-rich, established platform; some users describe the interface as dated and the analytics as underwhelming for quick day-to-day decisions, compared to newer, more visual tools.

Rista details above are based on publicly available information and independent reviews as of 2026, since Rista does not publish full pricing or plan breakdowns on its website. Confirm current details directly with Rista before making a decision.
Rista pricing is negotiated per deployment and not published on any major review platform, with the few third-party figures that exist contradicting each other. TufTable publishes one flat number, which makes budgeting simpler regardless of which platform ends up being the right fit.
per year, flat
price not published
TufTable is a flat, published Rs.7,000 per year. Rista does not publish pricing — Capterra and GetApp both list it as unavailable — and the third-party figures that do circulate (roughly $139-278 per license/store, or Rs.1,200/pack) are inconsistent, so you'd need a sales quote to know your actual cost.
It depends on scale. Rista is trusted by large multi-brand chains such as McDonald's, Subway, and Haldiram's, and its licensing and support model reflect that scale — a strong choice for growing chain operations. TufTable's flat pricing and simpler scope are typically a closer fit for a single-outlet restaurant.
Yes. QR code ordering is included in TufTable's standard plan at no extra cost. QR ordering is not independently confirmed in Rista's public materials, so it's worth checking directly with Rista if this is a priority.
TufTable's published price is Rs.7,000/year flat. Rista does not publish pricing on Capterra or GetApp, and the third-party figures that exist are inconsistent, but available data points suggest real-world costs often land well above TufTable's flat fee for a single-outlet restaurant.
Menu, table, and staff setup on TufTable typically takes under 30 minutes with onboarding support. Rista deployments at chains tend to be more involved given multi-brand licensing, so migrating a single outlet mainly means planning a short overlap period to move historical reports and re-train staff — TufTable's support team can walk through this during the free demo.
