EasyBills vs Rista

The Rista alternative with your books and GST in the same system

EasyBills runs the whole restaurant from one app: billing, the kitchen, stock, real double-entry books, GST filing, payroll and a daily routine for every role, with billing from a published ₹100 a month plus GST. Rista, DotPe’s POS, is strong on multi-brand operations and loyalty, and connects to accounting software for the books.

The short answer

Choose EasyBills if you want your profit, GST returns, payroll and stock from the system you bill from, at a published price. Rista suits a multi-brand business that puts CRM, loyalty and brand-wise supply first.

One app, or a stack of them
