In detail
UPI is operated by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Indians sent over ₹19 trillion through UPI in 2024 — more than any other payment method in the country.
For a restaurant, UPI is the cleanest payment method available: no card-machine rental, no 1.5-2.5% MDR fee, no T+2 settlement wait. Money lands directly in your business bank account in seconds.
ZaikaQR generates UPI deep links that open the customer's Google Pay, PhonePe, or Paytm app directly — with your VPA and the order amount pre-filled.
Why it matters for your restaurant
Understanding UPI (Unified Payments Interface) helps you evaluate restaurant software properly, talk to your tech vendors with confidence, and make better-informed pricing and operational decisions.
