WDPW and Foodics are both cloud restaurant platforms used across Egypt and MENA. The core difference: WDPW runs on any iPad, Android tablet, or browser with no per-cashier license and no proprietary hardware, and includes ETA e-receipts, WhatsApp ordering, and Egyptian-payroll in-plan — several of which are paid add-ons or separate products on Foodics. Foodics is a mature platform with a large hardware and app ecosystem.

Foodics is a well-established restaurant platform with wide adoption across the region and a large ecosystem of hardware and third-party apps. This page is not an argument that Foodics is a bad product — it's a factual, dated comparison so you can decide which fits your restaurant.
The figures below reflect Foodics' published Egypt list pricing as of August 2026 and are billed per cashier license, with hardware and most add-ons quoted separately. Pricing changes — verify the current numbers with each vendor before deciding.
Foodics delisted its Starter tier in Egypt in 2026 — its cheapest published plan is now ≈ EGP 34,000/year per cashier license, before hardware and add-ons. Every WDPW price below covers the whole branch: unlimited devices, hardware never required.

WDPW is a flat annual price in EGP (Starter 15,000 · Growth 25,000 · Pro 35,000) with unlimited POS devices and no per-cashier fee. Foodics is licensed per cashier, so cost scales with the number of registers, and many capabilities are paid add-ons on top.
WDPW runs on any iPad, Android tablet, or web browser you already own, plus a native Android app — no proprietary hardware. Foodics' cashier app is iPad-based, and its web cashier is a paid add-on, so device choice is narrower.
Both aim to keep working during outages. WDPW's POS and kitchen display capture orders locally and reconcile on reconnect; confirm the exact offline behavior you need with each vendor for your setup.
WDPW includes ETA-ready e-receipts, WhatsApp ordering and table booking, loyalty (Growth+), and Egyptian-rules payroll (Growth+) within the plan. On Foodics, several of these are paid add-on licenses or separate products.
WDPW's aggregator hub is built in and included from the Growth plan; live platform integrations are rolling out, Talabat first. Foodics typically connects to aggregators through third-party middleware at extra monthly cost per platform.
WDPW includes ETA-ready electronic receipts and immutable Z-reports. On Foodics, digital-receipt functionality is generally an add-on license. Both operate within Egyptian tax requirements — the difference is what's included in the base plan.
WDPW imports your menu, modifiers, customers, and inventory from a pasted Foodics API token in under an hour, supports a parallel run, and offers a switch incentive. This makes trying WDPW low-risk without immediately leaving Foodics.
Foodics is the more established platform, with a larger installed base and a broader marketplace of third-party integrations. If a very large third-party app ecosystem is decisive for you, weigh that honestly.
For most setups, yes on a like-for-like basis: WDPW is a flat annual EGP price with unlimited POS devices and no per-cashier fee, while Foodics is licensed per cashier with hardware and many features as paid add-ons. Compare your specific configuration, as pricing changes.
Yes. Paste your Foodics API token and WDPW imports your menu, modifiers, customers, and inventory in under an hour. You can run both systems in parallel and typically go live within 24 hours.
Yes. WDPW runs on any iPad, Android tablet, or web browser and has a native Android app. Foodics' cashier app is iPad-based and its web cashier is a paid add-on.
Yes. WDPW includes ETA-ready electronic receipts and immutable Z-reports in-plan. On Foodics, digital receipts are generally a paid add-on license.
Foodics is more established with a larger app ecosystem, which matters if you depend on a specific marketplace integration. WDPW is better if you want no hardware lock-in, Android/browser support, flat pricing, and more included in-plan. Match it to your priorities.
