Foodics Alternative: a system you own, not a forever subscription
For a single site or small chain, AppsRobo builds a system shaped to your exact workflow — unified delivery-app + dine-in orders, ETA receipts, Arabic, WhatsApp — that you own, with local Cairo support.
Where Foodics is strong
The funded category leader for restaurants — deep POS features, marquee chains, payments and hardware. For a large multi-branch chain, Foodics is formidable.
Where the gap shows
It gets expensive and rigid for the small/independent restaurant — per-branch costs and hardware add up, and you adapt to Foodics rather than the reverse. It is rented, not owned.
The comparison

| Model | Rented subscription | A system you own (project + support) |
| Price | Subscription bundles + per-branch/hardware | Scoped — one-time + support |
| Customization | Limited to the ready product | Fully tailored to your workflow |
| Arabic + WhatsApp + ETA | Varies | Built in (ETA as a scoped deliverable) |
| Support | Plan-dependent | Cairo team, in Arabic |
