Plateform360 vs other restaurant POS options in Pakistan
Free apps, established local vendors and a restaurant-first system: what each is built for, and what to ask before you choose.
Written by the ITEA Pakistan team · Published 15 October 2026
Restaurants in Pakistan usually choose between three kinds of system. Each suits a different kitchen. This comparison sticks to what each vendor says publicly; ask every one of them, including us, to show you the features you need working.
The three options

How to choose
- If you need a till and little else, a free app may be enough. Check what happens to your data and support if the price changes.
- If tax integration and offline mode matter most, ask every vendor, including us, to demonstrate both.
- If your kitchen, delivery and online orders need to work as one, with allergens and recipe-based stock, Plateform360 is built for that. Ask us to show it with your own menu.
