There is no single price for every shop
One existing computer with a compatible printer is a different project from a new restaurant with several order-taking points and a separate kitchen. Product-list preparation, equipment condition, training and the services requested all affect the scope to discuss.
Bill Pondy offers a white-label Posnic POS setup with the restaurant module. The underlying product’s published pricing is not automatically the price of a Bill Pondy installation or service package. This website does not publish a fixed Bill Pondy price; ask for a written quote describing your particular setup.
Separate the parts of the quote
| Part | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Software and modules | Edition, counters, users, restaurant requirements and included modules |
| Equipment | Computer, receipt printer, kitchen printer, scanner, accessories and model details |
| Setup and data | Catalogue preparation, imports, opening balances, configuration and checks |
| Training | Who attends, which workflows are covered and how later staff are trained |
| Support | Contact route, hours, location arrangements, included work and exclusions |
| Recurring services | Cloud, backup, messaging, renewals or other services you choose |
| Changes and exit | Extra counter, replacement computer, exports and help moving away |
Compare the same period and the same scope
Write one-time charges separately from recurring charges. For comparison, add the one-time amounts to twelve months of recurring services, then list any charges that are billed annually or on usage. Keep taxes and exclusions explicit in the supplier’s quote. This is a budgeting exercise; ask the supplier and your accountant to confirm the applicable amounts.
Do not turn a blank line into zero. Mark a missing amount as “not quoted” and ask for clarification. A lower total is only meaningful when both quotes include the equipment and services your business actually requires.
Reusing equipment can help, after a demonstration
List what you already own, including model numbers and connection types. If your printer can be reused, ask to see a bill printed on it. For a restaurant, test the kitchen output as well. Include any required replacement parts or cables in the quote.
Also consider the time needed to prepare the catalogue and train staff. If your team is doing that work, assign an owner and a completion date. Work that is outside the supplier’s price still needs to happen.
Ask what happens after opening day
Discuss the support route when the cashier cannot complete a task, the process for installing updates and the responsibilities for backups. Confirm whether a visit, remote session or replacement-computer setup has a separate charge. Do not assume that a one-time installation includes unlimited future work.
For a business in Karaikal, share the precise location and confirm installation and support arrangements from the listed Puducherry office. An area page is a way to enquire, not a promise of another branch.
Bring the quote back to the workflow
Once the scope is clear, ask to demonstrate the essential tasks before choosing. A quotation should match the product and service arrangement you saw. Keep the accepted quote, equipment list, support details and opening checklist together for the person responsible for the counter.
The buying guide helps define those requirements. Restaurant owners can use the sample service checklist. Contact Bill Pondy with your business type, area, number of counters and current equipment to start a relevant quote.
