Brindola vs r_keeper
r_keeper or Brindola for a restaurant in Georgia
r_keeper is UCS's modular restaurant management system, built since 1992 and installed in Georgia by UCS Georgia in Tbilisi: cash, waiter and bar stations, kitchen screens, stock, loyalty and delivery, configured and quoted by the dealer. Brindola is a restaurant POS with a published price per venue that you install yourself on ordinary hardware, and that runs the whole service with the internet down.
In short
- Brindola's price is published per venue, and you can run it for fourteen days before talking to anyone; r_keeper is quoted by its dealer.
- It runs on an ordinary Windows or Linux computer, with Android phones and tablets as terminals; the whole venue lives in one file you can back up.
- Brindola issues RS.ge tax invoices and waybills from the order, with a TIN look-up.
- r_keeper is ahead on loyalty, stock across a chain and a local installer with three decades behind it.

Why venues choose Brindola over r_keeper
Ordinary hardware, no server room
One Windows or Linux computer runs the venue, and Android phones and tablets join it as terminals, order screens at the table or kitchen screens, each with a six-digit code.
The whole service runs without the internet
Orders, the kitchen screen, payments, the day's close and every report run on the device in your venue, for as long as the outage lasts.
A price you can read, and a trial you install yourself
Essentials is ₾89 and Plus ₾199 a month per venue, plus VAT, and a year costs ten months. The installer carries fourteen days of the full Plus plan, with no card and no account.
Tax invoices from the terminal
Look a company up by TIN, get its name and VAT status back, and issue the RS.ge tax invoice and waybill from the order's own lines. Neither r_keeper site describes this.
Your data in one file you can back up
Tickets, guests, payments and margins live in one file on hardware you own, with encrypted backups to a place you choose.
Several brands from one kitchen
Separate brand tabs and catalogs, revenue by brand and channel, and one order that can carry two brands.
