Genu vs FineDine: 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. FineDine is a platform operating on a global scale, focused on digital menus and ordering. This page puts the two products side by side using the price and feature data on both companies' official websites. The question that makes the decision easier is this: are you looking only for a menu and ordering layer, or for a single system embedded in Türkiye's regulations and in your service flow (waiter-kitchen-cashier-end of day)?

Annual total and plan limits
As of 25 September 2026, FineDine is running a time-limited 50% campaign; that is why the real measure of the comparison is not price but what a plan covers. Genu prices include VAT. The difference in scope: in Genu Pro, alongside the QR menu and ordering, the bill, cashier, kitchen display, stock, customer credit accounts, expense tracking and a cashier that keeps working when the internet goes down are all in the same plan. FineDine has plan limits: 100 products / 20 tables / 1.000 orders per month in the entry plan, 50 tables / 1.500 orders per month in the mid plan. According to their official FAQ, when the order limit is exceeded the account is automatically upgraded to the next plan and the difference is charged — a risk of budget surprises in the busy season. Genu plans have no limits on the number of products, tables or orders.

Difference in focus
- FineDine's focus: the guest side — multilingual, multi-currency menus, reservations, CRM, website and social media tools; plans are tiered by product, table and monthly order quotas.
- Genu's focus: the venue's entire service chain in a single system — QR ordering from the table → waiter terminal → station-based kitchen display → cashier and bill → thermal printer → end-of-day report. Stock-recipe, customer credit accounts and expense tracking in the same panel; the cashier keeps selling even when the internet goes down.
- Türkiye's regulations are built into the product: allergen and calorie fields, price list rules and the service/cover charge rules directly shape Genu's product roadmap.
- The best test for making a decision: upload your menu to Genu and try it for 30 days in real service, without giving a credit card.
