Executive Summary

Problem: Independent restaurants and small chains still endure expensive, clunky POS and table-management systems that require bulky hardware, cause order delays, and leave owners with poor offline reliability and opaque analytics. These operators pay meaningful ongoing costs (we estimate an addressable customer value of roughly $3,000/year) and frequently complain about hardware and connectivity pain. What you could build: A mobile-first POS demo optimized for Android and low-cost tablets that handles order entry, table turns, QR/UPI payments, and cloud analytics with robust offline-first sync — built first as a polished demo to validate workflows and accelerate sales conversations. The demo would emphasize minimal hardware, fast installation, and seamless payment flows to shorten deployment time and lower upfront costs. Market opportunity: This is attractive right now because the TAM is roughly $6.0B (≈2M restaurants × $3K ACV), market momentum is strong (market score 92/100, revenue potential 82/100), and trends like ubiquitous mobile devices, QR/UPI payments, and the expectation of cloud analytics with offline capability favor a mobile-first entrant. Competitive edge: You can stand out by combining a superior mobile UX, true offline-first synchronization, and tight, low-friction payment integration to undercut legacy cloud-only vendors on reliability and cost; expect medium competition and the non-trivial engineering and partnership work (payment processors, local support) needed to prove unit economics.

Market Opportunity
