Genu vs AIKA: An Honest Comparison (2026)
Genu is business software for restaurants, cafés and bars in Türkiye that brings the QR menu, bill and POS (cashier), waiter and kitchen display, stock and customer credit accounts together in a single panel. AIKA Teknoloji (Antalya, AOSB Teknopark) is a multi-product software company offering cloud-based (SaaS) restaurant, appointment, ERP and association software; for restaurants it has QR Menü and Adisyon products.
AIKA's strengths are a single fixed annual subscription, free setup and training, Yemeksepeti / Getir Yemek / Trendyol Yemek orders gathered on one screen and Inpos, Hugin, Beko, Pavo cash-register (ÖKC) integration; Genu stands out with a Desktop cashier that sells fully when the internet is down, approval-based AI and waiter-approved QR ordering. The tables below put the data from both companies' official websites side by side, with dates.
Verification note
The AIKA information on this page was taken on 9 October 2026 from the QR Menü and Adisyon product sections of the aika.tr home page. AIKA is a multi-product software company selling QR Menü, Adisyon, Randevu Takip (appointments), ERP and Dernek (associations) products; this page covers only its restaurant products (QR Menü and Adisyon). The site gives amounts as annual '2026 starting prices', says they vary with business size and does not state the VAT treatment; for a current price you need to contact the company. Prices and features may change; always rely on the official website for current information. If you spot an error, let us know and we'll correct it.

| Sync between products | QR menu, bills, stock and customer accounts on the same platform | QR Menü ↔ Adisyon and Adisyon ↔ ERP data flow automatically; no technical detail given |

'Not stated on the official pages' in the table does not mean the feature is absent — only that it could not be verified on AIKA's public page on the comparison date. Offline operation is one of them: the page says all products are cloud-based and run in a browser with an internet connection, and does not mention an offline mode. Confirm it in the sales conversation.
Difference in focus
- AIKA's structure: a multi-product company offering restaurant, appointment, ERP and association software under one roof; on the restaurant side a fixed annual subscription, free setup and training, platform orders and cash-register integration.
- Genu's structure: focused only on restaurants, cafés and bars — QR order at the table → waiter approval → station-based kitchen display → cashier → end-of-day; stock, recipes, customer accounts, expenses and multi-branch under one roof.
- Outage resilience: with Genu Desktop installed on the till, new orders, payments, closing bills and the end-of-day continue when the internet drops; AIKA's offline operation is not stated on its official page.
- Where Genu stands out: approval-based AI (Genu Assistant, Genu Pazarlama, MCP), a commission-free own pickup/home delivery channel, item cancellation that requires a role plus a reason, and join approval through table QR identity.
- The best test for deciding: upload your menu to Genu and try it for 30 days in real service, without giving a credit card.
