Case study
Malabar Spices in Pune ditched Swiggy and Zomato, connected Menuthere to their Petpooja POS, and earned ₹1 lakh in their very first month, keeping every rupee.

This is about why restaurants are ditching third-party delivery apps and about what they need to succeed
Restaurant technology
The restaurant industry just had its biggest technology wake up call in a decade. And it is not about AI or robots. It is about integration.
Aggregators
Rapido formally launched its food delivery platform, Ownly, across Bengaluru on March 3, 2026 and it landed with a model that mirrors what we've believed since Day One: Restaurants shouldn't pay commission to receive orders.

Papa Johns CEO Todd Penegor announced on their Q4 2025 earnings call that the pizza chain will add an AI-powered ordering agent to their app in Q2 2026. It made headlines in the restaurant tech world. But if you run an independent restaurant in India, the AI isn't the part you should be focused on.
Menu strategy
A headline made the rounds this week: consumers are trading down as rising wages and operating costs force restaurants to raise menu prices. It sounds like a Western problem. Large chains, minimum wage hikes, inflation. But if you run a restaurant in India, you should read this closely — because the same pressure is quietly building here.
QR menus
QR code menus have gone from a pandemic workaround to a permanent fixture in modern dining — and for good reason. They're faster, always up-to-date, and far cheaper than reprinting paper menus every time you change a dish or price.
