VanVed vs Petpooja
for POS
Why businesses choose VanVed over Petpooja
VanVed runs the whole outlet, not just the till: the same tenant holds staff rosters, attendance, payroll, inventory, CRM and a real double-entry ledger that the day's takings post into, with no export to an accountant at month end.
Capability by capability
Every row below is what our 2026 research found — including the rows we lose.
| Capability | VanVed | Petpooja |
|---|---|---|
| Counter billing with per-line discounts and tax | Yes | Yes |
| KOT to the kitchen, table and course management | Not built — there is no table or KOT concept | Core to the product |
| Zomato / Swiggy order ingestion and menu push | Not built | Aggregator orders land on the same till |
| Offline service during an outage | No | Yes |
| Restaurant hardware (KOT printer, thermal bill, cash drawer) | PDF receipt only | Full hardware stack supported |
| Recipe-level stock depletion per dish | Stock moves per item sold, not per recipe ingredient | Yes, with consumption tracking |
| Till takings post to a real double-entry ledger | Yes, into the same books as invoices and payroll | Reports, not books — you still export to an accountant |
| Same platform runs HR, rosters, CRM and inventory for the outlet | Yes, ~40 modules on one tenant | Restaurant operations only |
| Cost of entry | Part of the subscription, no setup fee | Monthly fee plus a one-time setup charge |
Where Petpooja is ahead of us today
For a restaurant, VanVed is not a Petpooja replacement and should not be sold as one. There is no KOT, no table or course management, no Zomato/Swiggy integration, no recipe-level consumption, no offline service and no restaurant hardware support. VanVed's POS is a retail counter that happens to work for a cafe's takeaway bill.
We publish this because a comparison that only flatters us is worth nothing to you. If one of these gaps is the thing you actually need, Petpooja may well be the better buy.
What VanVed's POS module does
- Counter sales
Every sale adds up its own total, so nobody totals a bill by hand.
- Stock moves with the sale
Completing a sale writes the matching inventory movement.
- Void and refund
Reverse a sale cleanly, with its own confirmation.
