Genu vs QR-Soft: 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. QR-Soft presents itself as cloud-based digital menu software for cafés and restaurants: guests reach the menu in the browser without downloading an app; table ordering, kitchen and waiter screens and a management panel are added according to the plan.
Both products are cloud-based. QR-Soft's strengths are monthly payment and a low entry price; Genu stands out with its bill–cashier–end-of-day chain, a Desktop cashier that keeps working when the internet is down, and approval-based AI. The tables below put the data from both companies' official websites side by side, with dates.
Verification note
The QR-Soft information on this page was taken on 9 October 2026 from the qrsoft.com.tr home page. The page does not state the VAT treatment of its amounts; the table carries the figures on the page as they are. The page offers 1, 3, 6 and 12-month period choices but does not publish period totals; annual amounts are calculated as monthly price × 12. Offline operation and a bill (adisyon) feature are not mentioned on the page. 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.
