Why React Native for this
A restaurant POS that stops when the internet does is unusable. Billing has to work offline and reconcile later, because a queue at the counter does not wait for a router.
React Native is strongest at shared code with your web application and one team for both platforms. For restaurant pos & management software that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: heavy native functionality still needs platform-specific work. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
Does it work without internet?
Yes, billing and KOT run locally and sync when the connection returns. This is a hard requirement in this sector rather than a feature.
Can it pull Swiggy and Zomato orders?
Yes, through their partner APIs, into the same order queue as dine-in and takeaway so the kitchen works from one screen.
Do we need custom, or will an off-the-shelf POS do?
Most single outlets are well served by an existing product and we will say so. Custom earns its cost for multi-outlet chains, unusual formats or cloud kitchens with complex routing.
