Genu vs Restroid: 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. Restroid is a cloud-assisted POS and bill (adisyon) software for restaurants: table orders, kitchen tickets or screen, stock and recipe costing, payments, delivery platform and cash-register (ÖKC) integrations; it states it works with your existing cash register, so no hardware purchase is required.
In both products the till works locally and sales continue during an outage. Restroid's strengths are the breadth of its cash-register (ÖKC) and delivery platform integrations and its modular pricing; Genu stands out with approval-based AI, waiter-approved QR ordering, table QR identity and all modules included in the plan. The tables below put the data from both companies' official websites side by side, with dates.

Work it out for your own scenario
In Restroid the price is the plan plus the modules you pick, excluding VAT; a Pro plan with the kitchen display, QR menu and one cash register added comes to TRY 2,190 + 1,990 + 450 + 490 = TRY 5,120 per month (excluding VAT). In Genu, bills, the cashier, the kitchen display and loyalty are in Pro at $999/year (VAT included). Cash-register (ÖKC) integration is on Genu's roadmap. Compare the two quotes on the same VAT basis with your own device and module list.
