Which should you choose?

FSSAI FoSCoS: Official FSSAI portal for food business registration, licences, renewals and returns.

Square for Restaurants: Restaurant POS with free plan, menus and kitchen display.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
