TL;DR
Slurp! is a popular café-first POS in Malaysia. LOOP POS wins on AI-native operations and the depth required for multi-outlet chains.
LOOP vs Slurp! POS, Malaysia F&B Software 2026
Last updated: · By LOOP POS
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 need VietQR in Vietnam; PayNow, DuitNow and QR Ph integrations are on roadmap.
- ✓You're already on PEKO loyalty (or planning to). PEKO customers get 50% off LOOP POS paid plans.
Choose Slurp! if
You need Slurp!-specific capabilities and don't need AI operations.

Bottom line
Slurp! is a fair pick for a single café. LOOP POS is the better choice for café chains and full-service F&B that need AI prep lists, recipe-level food cost and a unified aggregator queue, free for one outlet, then RM 129 per outlet per month on Growth (RM 259 on Business), excluding SST.

How POS prices and loyalty compare across vendors: 2026 POS Price Index
Why teams pick LOOP
- Recipe-level deduction tracks coffee, milk, syrups and packaging per cup.
- AI forecasting drives the morning prep list per item per hour.
- Unified aggregator queue removes GrabFood/foodpanda/ShopeeFood ticket juggling.
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 Slurp! 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
- How long does migration from our current POS take?
- Typical migrations complete in 2–3 weeks per outlet. Week 1: menu and inventory import. Week 2: hardware and aggregator wiring. Week 3: staff training and parallel-run. The LOOP onboarding team owns each step.
- What payment methods does LOOP support in Malaysia?
- LOOP supports the dominant local rails out of the box (see the Malaysia market page for the full list) plus Visa/Mastercard, AmEx, JCB and UnionPay where the acquirer supports them.
- Can I keep Slurp! and still run loyalty?
- Yes. PEKO works alongside Slurp! with no integration: customers scan the receipt to earn points. LOOP is only needed if you also want a free AI POS.
- Does LOOP include loyalty?
- LOOP handles operations. For loyalty and AI-driven customer retention, PEKO is the sibling product from the same company: no app download for customers, they snap the receipt to earn points, and it works with the POS you already use: LOOP or any other. PEKO is free up to 300 members.
- 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.
