Torqus was a Pune-based restaurant tech platform, later absorbed into Swiggy-owned Dineout’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 live kitchen screen, not a uncertain roadmap

This is the actual TufTable Kitchen Order Ticket screen — included in every plan, live the moment you sign up, on a product built and supported specifically for it.

TorqusBrand status — folded into a larger platform

Standalone future unclear

Torqus was acquired by Dineout in 2018, and Dineout itself was acquired by Swiggy in 2022. Torqus branding is increasingly merged into Dineout’s inresto platform.

  • Branding and support increasingly folded into inresto
  • Long-term roadmap for the Torqus name is unclear
The real annual cost

What you'll actually pay in year one

Torqus’s one published figure covers a base Standard Plan. Modules like inventory/SCM are priced separately and unpublished, so real-world cost is likely higher for restaurants that need them.

The Rs.15,000/year figure reflects Torqus’s published "Standard Plan" per SoftwareSuggest, covering POS, cashbook accounting, notifications, reports, and head-office module. Higher tiers and the separate SCM/inventory module are priced separately and not publicly listed, so actual annual cost may be higher. Confirm directly with the current inresto/Dineout team, since Torqus’s standalone commercial status is unclear.

What we optimize for

The problems restaurant owners actually ask us to solve

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 Torqus.

Buying software from a brand whose standalone future is unclear

TufTable

TufTable is an independently operated, actively developed product built specifically for this software, with a direct support line to the team building it.

Torqus

Torqus was acquired by Dineout (Times Internet) in 2018, and Dineout was acquired by Swiggy in 2022. Torqus has been absorbed into Swiggy-owned Dineout’s inresto platform. That backing brings the resources of a large group, though it also means Torqus’s standalone availability and long-term support roadmap under its own name are not clearly documented.

Not knowing the real yearly cost upfront

TufTable

One flat price: Rs.7,000/year. No setup fee, no add-on modules to negotiate separately.

Torqus

The one published figure we found is a "Standard Plan" at roughly Rs.15,000/year covering POS, cashbook accounting, notifications, reports, and head-office module — a reasonably transparent starting point, though higher tiers and the separate inventory/SCM module are priced separately and unpublished, so the full picture depends on what your restaurant needs.

A cluttered screen slowing down billing

TufTable

Built so any staff member can run billing, KOT, and tables confidently in a single shift, with a clean, focused screen.

Torqus

Torqus packs in a broad feature set including cashbook accounting and a head-office module; some reviews describe the resulting interface as cluttered and note it has contributed to data-entry errors during busy service.

Not knowing if WhatsApp or aggregator orders are supported

TufTable

WhatsApp bill and update module is a standard part of every TufTable plan, live from day one.

Torqus

Aggregator (Zomato/Swiggy) and WhatsApp integration are not clearly documented in Torqus’s public materials, so we can’t confirm either way.

Inconsistent support after something goes wrong mid-service

TufTable

Support team based in Surat, reachable directly on WhatsApp and phone — same-day answers.

Torqus

Reviewers describe generally responsive support and note the platform benefits from Swiggy/Dineout’s backing, though some also mention inconsistent experiences and occasional technical issues that disrupt order processing.

Pricing

One price you can actually plan around

Torqus’s published Standard Plan starts at roughly Rs.15,000/year for a base feature set, with inventory and other modules priced separately and unpublished. TufTable’s Rs.7,000/year covers everything, including inventory, KOT, and WhatsApp, in one price, which makes budgeting simpler regardless of which platform ends up being the right fit.

FAQ

TufTable vs Torqus — frequently asked questions

TufTable is a flat Rs.7,000 per year covering billing, KOT, inventory, and WhatsApp updates in one price. Torqus’s published Standard Plan is priced around Rs.15,000/year, and that figure does not include the separate inventory/SCM module or higher tiers, which are unpublished. TufTable’s all-in price is lower for most single-outlet restaurants, though Torqus’s Standard Plan is at least transparently priced as far as it goes.

It depends on priorities. Torqus carries the backing of Swiggy-owned Dineout and a broad feature set including cashbook accounting and head-office reporting, which can suit restaurants that value that scale and ecosystem. TufTable is built for restaurants that want core billing, KOT, and inventory bundled into one flat-price plan with a simpler screen and less setup decision-making, alongside more certainty about who is supporting the product long-term.

Yes. QR code ordering is included in TufTable’s standard plan at no extra cost. QR ordering is not clearly documented in Torqus’s public materials, so we can’t confirm whether it’s supported.

TufTable’s published price is Rs.7,000/year flat, covering inventory, KOT, and WhatsApp updates. Torqus’s published Standard Plan is roughly Rs.15,000/year for a base feature set, with the separate inventory/SCM module and higher tiers priced separately and unpublished — so the full cost for a restaurant needing those extras is likely higher still.

Menu, table, and staff setup on TufTable typically takes under 30 minutes with onboarding support. As with any POS switch, plan for a short overlap period to move historical reports and re-train staff on the new billing flow — TufTable’s support team can walk through this during the free demo. If you’re moving away from Torqus partly due to its uncertain standalone status under Dineout, confirm your current contract terms and data-export options with your existing account team first.
