Petpooja Menu Pricing:
The Hidden Costs Nobody Mentions
The advertised starting price of 2,500 MAD per month covers only basic features. Once you add the modules actually needed to run a restaurant, costs escalate quickly.

Multi-branch setups add 1,500 MAD per additional location. Third-party integrations cost extra — connecting to delivery platforms adds another 2% commission on those orders. Comparing this to the toast pos company pricing model, Petpooja is marginally cheaper upfront but more expensive once you factor in transaction fees.
Transaction-Based Charges
The 15% commission on online orders is just the beginning. Payment processing adds 2.5% plus 2 MAD per transaction. For a restaurant processing 50,000 MAD in monthly online orders, that's 8,750 MAD in fees — enough to hire another kitchen staff member.
Monthly minimums require at least 100 transactions or you pay a 500 MAD penalty. During slow months, this forces restaurants to run unprofitable promotions just to avoid fees. The pos toast system uses similar minimums, suggesting this is an industry-wide revenue protection strategy.
Menu software built for American fast-casual chains doesn't translate to Moroccan dining culture. The mismatch goes deeper than language support.
Language and Cultural Barriers
Arabic menu display technically exists but breaks frequently with right-to-left formatting. Item names get truncated, descriptions overlap, and special characters display as question marks. French works better but still has accent rendering issues.
Local payment integration is where things really fall apart. Cash on delivery — still 70% of transactions in Morocco — requires manual workarounds. Popular local wallets aren't supported, forcing customers to use international cards many don't have.
Operational Mismatch
Training requirements assume computer-literate staff. In reality, many Moroccan restaurant workers are more comfortable with paper orders. The complexity of modifier screens and multi-step ordering processes leads to errors and frustrated customers.
Internet dependency is the biggest operational risk. When connectivity drops — common during peak hours in busy districts — orders pile up in the system then flood the kitchen when connection returns. Power outages mean complete system failure unless you invest in expensive UPS backup systems.
OCHI takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of adapting Western software for Moroccan restaurants, it's built from the ground up for local operations.
Your restaurant gets a branded subdomain — votrenom.ochi.ma — with unlimited menu items, photos, and categories. The system handles Arabic, French, and English natively, with proper right-to-left support and local character rendering.
QR code table ordering works without forcing app downloads. Customers scan, browse your actual menu with your prices, and pay how they prefer — including cash to the waiter. Menu updates happen instantly across all channels with no manual refresh needed.
True Zero-Commission Model
OCHI charges nothing. No monthly subscription. No transaction fees. No setup costs. Restaurants keep 100% of their revenue. This isn't a promotional rate that expires — it's the permanent business model.
How does this work financially? OCHI monetizes through optional premium features like advanced analytics and marketing automation. Basic operations — menu management, ordering, payments — remain free forever.
Built for Moroccan Market
The platform handles Moroccan restaurant realities. Offline-capable POS continues working during internet outages. Power failure? The cloud-based system preserves all data and resumes exactly where you left off. Local payment methods including cash, CMI, and popular wallets work natively.
Staff training takes one afternoon because the interface matches how Moroccan restaurants already work. No complex modifier trees or confusing category structures — just straightforward menu organization that makes sense.
Making the Switch:
30-Day Migration Timeline
Moving from Petpooja or similar systems to OCHI follows a proven timeline that minimizes disruption.
Export your existing menu data (OCHI support handles technical details). Upload photos without compression — the system automatically optimizes for web delivery. Plan your category structure with OCHI's local restaurant experts who understand Moroccan dining patterns.
Create staff accounts with role-based permissions. Unlike other systems charging per user, OCHI includes unlimited staff accounts. Set up takes minutes per person.
Week 3-4: Integration Testing
Place QR codes strategically — entrance, tables, and takeaway counter. Test payment flows with actual transactions (you can reverse these during testing). Verify that your custom domain works smoothly.
Complete staff training in short sessions during slow periods. The intuitive interface means most staff are comfortable after processing just five practice orders.
The future of restaurant technology isn't about adding more features — it's about removing friction and fees so restaurants can focus on what they do best: serving great food. See what OCHI can do for your restaurant at ochi.ma/partners.
