Brindola vs RestIQ
RestIQ or Brindola for a restaurant in Georgia
RestIQ is a Georgian restaurant POS from Batumi, priced per terminal from ₾99 a month, with a local server for outages, Wolt and Glovo, recipe costing and a waiter app. Brindola is priced per venue, keeps your data in your building and runs the whole service with the internet down.
In short

Why venues choose Brindola over RestIQ
The whole service runs without the internet
Orders, the kitchen screen, payments, the day's close and every report run on a device in your venue. When the line drops, nothing waits for the cloud, because there is no cloud in the way.
Bolt Food and Glovo on the same kitchen screen
Platform orders land beside the dining room's, with the accept deadline counting down and a prep time to set. A sold-out dish is switched off on the platform, and the Bolt Food catalog is published from the terminal.
One price for the venue
Plus is ₾199 a month plus VAT for up to eight devices. RestIQ charges for each terminal, so the bill grows with every screen you add.
Your data stays in your building
Tickets, guests, tenders and margins live in one file on hardware you own. Only the day's totals leave, and only to a backoffice you connect.
Tax invoices from the terminal
RS.ge tax invoices and waybills go out from the order's own lines, and a TIN look-up fills in the company and its VAT status.
Several brands from one kitchen
Separate brand tabs and catalogs, revenue by brand and channel, and one order that can carry two brands.
