Foodics or Dashing: which one fits your business?
Foodics is a restaurant system. Dashing is built for a shop with a counter, stock and customers who buy on credit: you start free, keep selling when the internet drops, and the books come in the same price.
Where Dashing is better
Price at the start: Foodics has no free plan and begins around 100 USD a month, while Dashing is free for one branch and about 300 USD a year when you need a second. Dashing includes double-entry books in that price, speaks Kurdish, and is built for retail counters in Iraq. Foodics reviewers on Capterra also mention overpricing and bugs after updates (2026), a mixed picture next to the G2 score.
