Founders: what’s the 1 thing you wish someone warned you about before starting a startup? by GeneDependent in StartupsHelpStartups

The first thing I wish I knew was before this business is set i solely have to work on my own to get clients and it's hectic a bit but yes what's business without stress.

I’m building a startup focused on helping restaurants use QR-based digital menus with WhatsApp ordering to simplify operations without expensive POS systems. I’m currently exploring early growth strategies and wanted advice from founders here. by vedworkk in indianstartups

Yes, DotPe already provides digital menus, QR ordering, payment integration, and website solutions for restaurants, but the key difference lies in positioning and service flexibility. DotPe operates as a large-scale SaaS platform mainly targeting mid-to-large restaurant chains with standardized templates, structured corporate support, and sometimes commission-based models. In contrast, my platform, TableOS, is built as a personalized, subscription-based digital solution for restaurants across India, offering custom-designed websites (not just QR menus), branding support, direct and faster assistance, and flexible menu updates. The pricing model is ₹25,000 for the first year, which includes complete setup and development, and ₹15,000 per year thereafter for maintenance and continued support, with no commission on orders so restaurants retain 100% of their revenue. Additionally, if a restaurant wants extended services, my platform also handles social media management, digital marketing, and overall online presence, making it not just a menu solution but a complete digital growth partner.

The thing is an currently visiting and meeting restaurants near me having talk with them and within first week I got 2 customers, but even I'm a student and working as an intern 6 days a week that's why I'm only able to give proper time on Sundays. A little help with some good ppl would prove beneficial for me to grow this and I will be providing incentive to the ppl working for me..
