CartFlow vs ParcelPOS

CartFlow is back-office software for food trucks, market stalls, coffee carts, caterers and other mobile food businesses. It organizes event applications and bookings alongside staff, packing lists, logistics and event records. CartFlow is not a point-of-sale system; it connects to the POS an operator already uses. Reporting covers profitability by event, product and venue, including year-over-year comparisons. Inventory tools provide live counts, low-stock alerts and per-event stock usage. Sales, stock adjustments and event notes can be recorded offline and sync when a device reconnects. The browser-based service runs on phones, tablets and laptops, and can be installed on a phone home screen without an app store. Listed integrations include Square, SumUp, Zettle, Shopify POS, Lightspeed Retail, Clover, Toast, Loyverse, Xero, Zapier, HNRY via Zapier and Stripe. Free, Pro and Business plans are listed. Pro costs NZ$39 per month and Business costs NZ$79 per month; the pricing note says paid plans start at $29/mo.

ParcelPOS is an offline-first restaurant point-of-sale app for Android and Windows. It covers billing, dine-in, takeaway, delivery and parcel orders, with kitchen-order-ticket status tracking. Menus can include categories, variants, add-ons and combos, while stock-level tracking helps monitor inventory. The system generates invoices with automatic tax calculation and CGST/SGST breakup. Restaurant controls include merging, splitting and transferring tables, staff roles and attendance, and customer order history. ParcelPOS stores data locally without an internet connection and synchronizes when connectivity returns; cloud sync is listed for Pro. Integrations include Swiggy and Zomato delivery orders, UPI and payment gateways, plus Bluetooth and USB thermal printers. The Free plan costs nothing, is billed Free forever, and includes 30 orders per day, unlimited menu items and users, KOT printing and basic reporting. Pro pricing is available by contacting the maker.
