Genu vs RestaPOS: 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. RestaPOS describes itself as a 'cloud-based POS, bill (adisyon) and QR menu system for restaurants, cafés and bars': for one annual price it includes POS, table management, QR menu, online order integrations, stock and recipes, courier management and reservations.
Both products are cloud-based and cover table service. RestaPOS's strengths are its low single annual price and integration with four delivery platforms; 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.

Feature comparison
| Feature | Genu | RestaPOS |

| AI assistant and MCP | ✓ Genu Assistant (proposes menu and price changes), Genu Pazarlama (marketing) and an MCP connection (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor); approval-card based: nothing changes without approval, and every approval is logged under the approver's name. Daily AI credits in every plan | Not stated on the official pages |
| Own online ordering channel (commission-free) | ✓ Pro: pickup and home delivery, ordering from the menu, WhatsApp sign-in and order notifications, live order tracking; no per-order commission | ✓ Takeaway and delivery order management, courier management; Getir Yemek, Trendyol Go, Migros Yemek and Yemeksepeti orders on one screen |

Difference in focus
- RestaPOS's structure: a single-price annual plan with no commitment; unlimited users, orders and tables, and integration with four delivery platforms.
- Genu's structure: the operating system of a table-service restaurant — 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; RestaPOS states it queues transactions during brief outages and needs a connection for a permanent one.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between Genu and RestaPOS?
Price structure and outage behavior. RestaPOS offers POS, QR menu, stock and four delivery-platform integrations in a single annual plan (TRY 5,999 campaign, TRY 7,999 afterwards, VAT included) and queues transactions during brief outages. Genu provides the cashier, kitchen display, waiter-approved QR ordering, stock and customer accounts through Basic / Premium / Pro plans ($199 – $999/year, VAT included); the Desktop cashier that sells fully when the internet is down and approval-based AI are where Genu stands out.
Is multi-branch an extra cost in RestaPOS?
According to RestaPOS, 'multi-branch from one panel' is included in the single annual price. In Genu, 2–3 branches are self-serve with Enterprise (Pro price × branches); 4+ branches have custom pricing.
Can I move my menu from RestaPOS to Genu?
Yes — we move your menu together with you. If you paid your previous provider 10,000 TL or more per year and your subscription is still running, your remaining months (up to 9) are added to your Genu annual subscription under the Transfer Bonus (Geçiş Bonusu); see the gecis-bonusu page for the terms.
Does Genu have Yemeksepeti/Getir integration?
