SitesPlaced vs Petpooja — which is better in 2026?
Petpooja: Restaurant billing (POS — the counter system that prints bills) with inventory and Zomato/Swiggy integration from ₹12,000, and QR ordering, a website and table reservations in higher tiers. Here is a plain, row-by-row comparison with SitesPlaced for a café or restaurant — price, commission, online ordering, QR ordering and billing — including what SitesPlaced doesn’t do yet.

Short answer: for a café or restaurant that wants its own ordering website, SitesPlaced is the better value. Petpooja and SitesPlaced do different jobs. Petpooja is the counter: billing, inventory, and Zomato and Swiggy in one place, with QR table ordering, a kitchen display and table reservations in its ₹20,000 and ₹30,000 tiers — none of which SitesPlaced does. What Petpooja sells separately is your own website and ordering site, in its ₹20,000 marketing tier. SitesPlaced gives you that free: your menu with photos and prices, pickup and delivery orders paid into your own payment account, and 0% commission. Keep Petpooja at the counter if you use it; for your own ordering website, SitesPlaced is the better choice.

What Petpooja does well — and where it stops
Petpooja is a real product and these are the things it genuinely does well. Whether they are worth paying for depends on how your orders actually arrive:
- ✓A proper billing counter: cloud billing, inventory, menu management and 90+ reports in the Base plan.
- ✓Zomato and Swiggy integration in the Base plan, with reconciliation in the higher operations tier.
- ✓QR ordering, a kitchen display, waiter calling and a captain app in the ₹20,000 operations tier.
- ✓Table reservations, kiosk software and e-invoicing in the ₹30,000 tier.
Which one should you choose?
If what you need is your own website where customers order and pay you directly, with no cut taken, SitesPlaced is the answer. The right-hand column is the short list of jobs SitesPlaced doesn’t do yet.
Choose SitesPlaced if you…
- • You want your own ordering website without buying a ₹20,000 marketing tier.
- • You want 0% commission on every online order, with UPI and cards paid into your own Razorpay, PhonePe or Cashfree account.
- • You want to get online quickly — upload a photo of your printed menu and the items are created for you.
- • You want a loyalty programme with QR stamp cards on the ₹499-a-month Growth plan.
When Petpooja is the better fit
- • You need a billing counter and a kitchen display — SitesPlaced is not a POS and doesn’t print bills or kitchen tickets.
- • You want guests to order from a QR code at the table or book a table online — SitesPlaced doesn’t do either yet.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better — Petpooja or SitesPlaced?
They do different jobs. For your own ordering website, SitesPlaced: it is free to publish, takes 0% commission, and pays UPI and card orders into your own Razorpay, PhonePe or Cashfree account. Petpooja is the better pick for the billing counter, QR table ordering, a kitchen display and table reservations, which SitesPlaced doesn’t do. Many restaurants will want Petpooja at the counter and SitesPlaced as their own ordering website.
How much does Petpooja cost?
Its pricing page (October 2026) lists the Base plan at ₹12,000 before tax, without saying whether that is yearly. QR ordering sits in a ₹20,000 operations tier, table reservations in a ₹30,000 tier, and the website and online ordering site in a ₹20,000 marketing tier. The page calls the plans indicative.
Can SitesPlaced replace Petpooja?
Not at the counter. SitesPlaced has no billing (POS), kitchen tickets, QR table ordering or online table reservations. It replaces the website and online-ordering part: your menu as items with photos and prices, pickup or delivery orders, UPI, cards, cash on delivery or WhatsApp orders, and 0% commission.
Does SitesPlaced take a commission on orders?
No — 0% on every plan. Your payment gateway’s own fee applies, because the money goes straight into your own Razorpay, PhonePe or Cashfree account.
