Where delEat is different
The differences that change a shift.
- Every price on the page
- delEat publishes four plans, from AED 149 per outlet a month on a 2-year term, with unlimited tills. Petpooja’s pricing page names three plans and prints no figure, and its one AED figure sits on its UAE page.
- Thirty days free, with no card
- You can run a full service on delEat before anyone asks for a signature. Petpooja offers a free demo and does not state a trial.
- Offline mode on every plan
- delEat keeps taking orders and payments with no network and replays them once when the line returns, from the Tab plan. The Petpooja pages we read say nothing about offline trading.
- VAT by legal entity, for the UAE
- In delEat each outlet trades as a legal entity with its TRN (branches of one company share it, separate companies keep their own), the document it prints follows that registration, and credit notes run on their own series. The Petpooja pages we read say nothing specific to UAE VAT.
