Take App vs Petpooja
Petpooja is a restaurant operating system: billing, inventory, kitchen, staff, aggregator orders. Take App is the direct channel next to it — customers ordering in WhatsApp, paying, and coming back — free to start.

PaypalShort answer
Petpooja is quoted rather than priced, sold annually, and the parts a small kitchen actually wants — online ordering, QR ordering, a restaurant website — are add-ons on top of the plan. Take App includes all three on the free plan and takes no commission. Petpooja is the right call for a multi-outlet restaurant that needs delivery-aggregator orders reconciled against inventory and a captain app on the floor. It is more than a two-person kitchen taking WhatsApp orders needs.
Why businesses pick Take App
A published price instead of a quote: free to start, then $50 a month, with no annual agreement.
Online ordering, QR ordering and your own store page are included — not three add-ons on top of a plan.
The order and the payment happen in WhatsApp, and you can message every past customer again without a CRM module.

Built for the market you actually sell in
100+ payment methods and local couriers across 180+ countries — the wallets, bank transfers, and cash on delivery your customers already use, not just cards.
Where Petpooja draws the line
Petpooja is built for Indian restaurants and covers that ground properly — GST billing, aggregator reconciliation, inventory down to the recipe. What it prices as extras are the things that face the customer. Take App supports 100+ payment methods across 180+ countries, with UPI, cards and cash on delivery in the same free plan as the ordering itself.
Why WhatsApp, and not email
Across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, a customer messages a shop long before they would open an email. Take App puts the order form, the payment reminder, the delivery update and the follow-up in that same thread — so nothing waits on an inbox nobody checks.
