Flowyana POS क्या अच्छा करता है
Flowyana POS runs the whole restaurant, not just the bill: floors and tables, structured modifiers, KOTs routed by kitchen station and recipe consumption, offline-first at the counter. Every bill posts its own double-entry voucher with CGST and SGST split, so accounting, purchasing and HR & payroll work from the same records instead of a Tally export. Dictode, the company behind Flowyana, sets the outlets up with you and builds what your brand needs on top, from delivery-app order intake to a central-kitchen workflow, and you own that code.

निष्कर्ष
Petpooja does its restaurant job well, but it stops at the counter: the books live in Tally, payroll in another product, and the owner reconciles the gaps. Flowyana POS removes those gaps, because every bill, recipe and payslip writes into one ledger, with published per-outlet prices in rupees and dirhams. Where you still need something Petpooja lists, such as delivery-app orders or a card terminal, Dictode builds it on Flowyana after a free call and a written proposal within 24 hours, and the code is yours. For a restaurant business that wants to run on one system, choose Flowyana POS.
