In short
For a UAE restaurant that wants stock control without paying for a top tier, TajerGo gives more for less. Starter with kitchen display is AED 99 per branch a month against Luqma Basic at AED 149, and TajerGo includes inventory and the khata ledger free while Luqma lists inventory and recipes on Professional at AED 299. Luqma remains the stronger fit when your problem is the service floor, where its server tablet and dispatcher screen are a genuine strength.

Luqma lists inventory and recipes against Professional. TajerGo starts inventory, reports and the khata ledger at Free, with supplier bill review on every plan. So a stock-first restaurant compares Luqma Professional at AED 299 with TajerGo Starter at AED 99; a floor-first one compares Luqma Basic with TajerGo Starter and looks at the server tablet.
Luqma publishes a clean per-branch ladder, which moves the question to one line: inventory and recipes, and QR table ordering, are listed on Professional at AED 299 per branch, not on Basic at AED 149. Kitchen display is on Basic. Both figures exclude 5% VAT and are billed monthly with cancellation at any time; custom accounting integrations appear only on Enterprise. A restaurant buying specifically to control stock is comparing the AED 299 tier.
Stay with Luqma if your problem is the service floor and not the stock room, if your team already runs on its server tablet and dispatcher screen, or if Basic covers you. Its front-of-house set is a genuine strength.
