TL;DR
Haravan F&B is strong if you also sell packaged goods on a webshop and want one back-office. LOOP is stronger if F&B in-venue and delivery operations are the priority. The two often coexist: Haravan for the webshop SKUs, LOOP for the restaurant POS.
LOOP vs Haravan F&B: POS for F&B Brands That Also Sell Online
Last updated:
PEKO ecosystem
LOOP runs the venue. PEKO brings the customer back. Two products, one company.
PEKO, the AI customer-retention platform (heypeko.com) from the same company as LOOP. PEKO handles retention; LOOP handles operations.
| LOOP, operations | PEKO, retention |
|---|---|
| Inventory & recipes | Churn prediction |
| Shift & staff management | Automated win-back |
| Table layout | Member portal |
| Kitchen display (KDS) | Loyalty tiers |
| E-invoice (TT78) | Receipt OCR enrolment |
| Aggregator queue (GrabFood / ShopeeFood / Be) |
LOOP and PEKO each work on their own. Run both and the data syncs into one single AI brain, so nothing is entered twice. PEKO is not a POS and does not replace one; it also runs alongside any other POS.
PEKO loyalty: no app download for customers; they snap the receipt to earn points, and it works with the POS you already use. Free up to 300 members.
Choose LOOP if
- ✓You run 2+ outlets and want one operator who can speak commands instead of clicking.
- ✓You want AI demand forecasting per item per hour, not gut-feel.
- ✓You're on SEA payment rails (VietQR, PromptPay, QRIS, DuitNow, PayNow, QR Ph).
- ✓You're already on PEKO loyalty (or planning to). PEKO customers get 50% off LOOP POS paid plans.
Choose Haravan F&B if
You need Haravan F&B-specific capabilities and don't need AI operations.

Not ready to switch POS? Keep Haravan F&B and add PEKO
- Receipt Scan loyalty: customers snap the receipt, so it works with Haravan F&B without any integration. No app download for customers.
- Group Check-In: every guest at the table joins, not just the payer.
- AI Agent: win-back, birthday and rebooking campaigns from one message.

Why teams pick LOOP
- Use both: Haravan for webshop, LOOP for restaurant.
- LOOP wins on F&B-specific ops depth + AI.
- Both expose APIs that consolidate into one P&L.
When neither is right
- You run one outlet with a fixed menu and only need receipts, a free tier from either vendor is enough, and paying for a mid tier changes nothing.
- You need something neither LOOP POS nor Haravan F&B publishes support for (full payroll, table timers), buy that tool separately and keep the till simple.
- Your format is still changing, settle the business model first; switching POS twice costs more than waiting.
Frequently asked
- Can I run Haravan + LOOP together?
- Yes, many F&B brands do exactly this. Inventory and customer records can be reconciled via API or daily CSV export.
- Can I keep Haravan F&B and still run loyalty?
- Yes. PEKO works alongside Haravan F&B with no integration: customers scan the receipt to earn points. LOOP is only needed if you also want a free AI POS.

- Can PEKO handle inventory and staff scheduling?
- No. PEKO is the retention layer. LOOP covers inventory, recipes, shifts, table management and kitchen display in the same ecosystem.
