Does HK FEHD licensing affect POS choice?
Direct answer · updated
In 2026 Hong Kong FEHD licensing governs premises, food handling and seating rather than software, so it does not dictate POS choice directly. It does shape what your POS must record: accurate seating capacity, takeaway versus dine-in separation, and traceability of suppliers and preparation for inspection.
FEHD General Restaurant and Light Refreshment licenses require menu posting and price-tag compliance; some districts also enforce table-count limits. LOOP exports the FEHD-required menu PDF with prices auto-generated from the live menu, and the table-count guard prevents seating overflow that triggers fines.
How it works with LOOP
LOOP records dine-in and takeaway as distinct channels, which keeps reporting consistent with licence conditions and with tourist and delivery mix. Supplier and ingredient records support traceability questions during an inspection. Seating and table configuration in LOOP reflects the licensed layout, so turn-rate reporting is measured against the capacity the licence actually permits rather than an aspirational floor plan.
