In 2026, the best StoreHub alternatives are LOOP for AI-native multi-outlet operations on existing devices, FeedMe and Slurp! for delivery-heavy Malaysian outlets, Qashier for payment-first counters, and Loyverse for zero-budget indies. Stay on StoreHub if you value its hardware bundles and on-the-ground field service above everything else.
5 StoreHub Alternatives for F&B in Malaysia & Singapore (2026)
By LOOP Editorial · 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.
What StoreHub does well
StoreHub is Malaysia's biggest F&B POS install base with a mature field-service network, Beep loyalty ecosystem, and PSG pre-approval in Singapore. For a single outlet that values in-person support and grant eligibility, it's a defensible default.
Stay with StoreHub if
- You run a single MY outlet and value on-the-ground field service over software depth.
- You already run Beep loyalty and QR ordering and the ecosystem lock-in works for you.
- You're a Singapore SME planning to claim the PSG grant and need pre-approved vendor status today.
- You don't need multi-outlet AI forecasting, unified aggregator queue, or command-based ops.
Why teams look for StoreHub alternatives
StoreHub's published pricing tiers start from RM 129/month per outlet with add-ons for advanced inventory, loyalty and integrations — total cost climbs quickly once a chain enables recipe inventory + aggregator sync + loyalty.
— per StoreHub's published pricing page
Reviewers consistently flag limited AI/forecasting depth and a fragmented aggregator experience (separate tablets for foodpanda / GrabFood / ShopeeFood) — the very thing 2+ outlet operators want unified.
— per Capterra and G2 reviews
StoreHub's own feature docs describe its analytics as descriptive dashboards rather than predictive forecasting; multi-outlet chains looking for demand prediction, prep-waste flags or per-outlet daily P&L brief have to bolt on external BI.

The 5 alternatives
1. LOOPour product
Visit site →- Best at
- AI-native ops for 2–20 outlet MY/SG chains: predictive day-3-to-day-7 demand forecasting, one unified kitchen queue across foodpanda + GrabFood + ShopeeFood, daily morning P&L brief, English + Bahasa Malaysia voice/text commands, and DuitNow QR + MyInvois built in. Free tier, published pricing, 15-minute setup. Mobile-native and hardware-agnostic — runs on any iPhone, Android phone, iPad or Android tablet the merchant already owns; no proprietary terminal, no hardware bundle.
- Weakness
- Newer brand footprint than StoreHub. Smaller MY field-engineer network — implementations run remote-first with a local partner network rather than a nationwide truck roll.
- Pricing
- Free tier (1 outlet), Growth from RM 249 / outlet / month, Business RM 599 / outlet / month with all integrations bundled. Enterprise custom. Published on the pricing page.
- Pick if
- You're running 2+ outlets in MY or SG, want AI forecasting and aggregator unification out of the box, and prefer a published-price product you can start free and expand into.
What we don't have yet
- Not currently PSG pre-approved in Singapore — StoreHub and Qashier still win on that specific criterion.
- Fewer years of local track record than StoreHub or SiteGiant.
- Smaller partner ecosystem — third-party add-ons are still growing.
2. FeedMe
Visit site →- Best at
- Malaysia-born POS with strong Kitchen Display System (KDS) depth and solid full-service restaurant workflows. Popular with mid-market casual dining.
- Weakness
- Lighter on AI/forecasting; multi-outlet analytics is descriptive rather than predictive.
- Pricing
- Custom quotes — public pricing is not published on their site. Typical MYR 300–500/outlet/month range per operator-reported quotes.
- Pick if
- You run full-service casual dining in Malaysia and KDS depth matters more to you than AI or aggregator unification.
3. Slurp!
Visit site →- Best at
- Modern, café- and bubble-tea-friendly UI. Comparable to LOOP at 1–3 outlets with a lighter learning curve for baristas.
- Weakness
- At 4+ outlets, financial consolidation and per-outlet P&L reporting start to strain. AI is minimal.
- Pricing
- Published from around MYR 199/outlet/month for the core plan.
- Pick if
- You run 1–3 specialty café or bubble-tea outlets in Malaysia and want a clean, modern UI without needing multi-outlet AI.
4. Qashier
Visit site →- Best at
- Singapore-focused terminal-first POS with integrated payments (Qashier terminal), NETS/PayNow support, and PSG pre-approval. Strong single-outlet story in SG.
- Weakness
- Hardware-tied to Qashier's own terminal — no first-party iOS or Android phone app to run the full POS from a manager's pocket. Multi-outlet chain features and MY-specific compliance (DuitNow QR + MyInvois) are secondary.
- Pricing
- Published tiers from around SGD 65/outlet/month. Hardware bundle adds one-time cost.
- Pick if
- You're a Singapore single-outlet or small-chain operator claiming PSG and want an all-in-one terminal + POS + payments bundle.
5. Loyverse
Visit site →- Best at
- Genuinely free POS for single-outlet indies. Runs on any Android tablet or phone (no first-party iOS app), syncs to a free cloud back-office. Massive global install base.
- Weakness
- No native aggregator integrations, no local e-invoicing (MyInvois / IRAS), thin inventory-cost workflows, no AI. Paid add-ons for the useful stuff.
- Pricing
- Free forever for POS. Paid modules (Employee Management USD 5, Advanced Inventory USD 25, Integrations USD 9 per outlet/month).
- Pick if
- You run a single kiosk or hawker stall on the tightest possible budget and don't need aggregator, e-invoice or AI.
Decision framework
| If this describes you | Pick |
|---|---|
| Single MY outlet, needs on-site field engineer | StoreHub — the incumbent field network is the honest answer. |
| 2–10 outlet MY/SG chain wanting AI + aggregator unification | LOOP — predictive forecasting + one queue across foodpanda / GrabFood / ShopeeFood. |
| Specialty café or bubble-tea, 1–3 outlets in MY | Slurp! or LOOP — Slurp for UI simplicity, LOOP once you cross 2 outlets. |
| SG single-outlet operator claiming PSG grant | Qashier or StoreHub — both PSG-listed. |
| Zero-budget indie / hawker stall | Loyverse — the only genuinely free option that stays free. |
How long it takes to switch from StoreHub to LOOP
Migrating a 3-outlet MY/SG chain from StoreHub to LOOP takes 6–9 working days end to end. Zero — parallel run for the final 2 days.
- Typical duration
- 6–9 working days
- Hardware
- Mostly retained.
- Longest step
- Relinking GrabFood / foodpanda / ShopeeFood aggregator APIs — the longest single step.
- Step 1
Export your data
Half a dayExport items, categories, modifiers, staff and 12–24 months of sales history to CSV from your current back-office. LOOP's import template accepts the raw export — no reformatting.
- Step 2
Import and re-map the menu
1–3 daysLOOP imports the CSV and rebuilds categories, modifier groups and prices. Recipe-level inventory and sub-recipes are built here — this is the step that scales with SKU count, roughly one day per 300 SKUs.
- Step 3
Reconnect payments and e-invoicing
1–2 daysRe-issue the QR rail (VietQR/NAPAS, PayNow Corporate, DuitNow, QR Ph) against your merchant UEN or tax code, and re-point the e-invoice issuer (HĐĐT/TT78 in Vietnam). Bank-side activation is the gating factor, not LOOP.
- Step 4
Relink delivery aggregators
1–3 daysConnect GrabFood, ShopeeFood, foodpanda, Deliveroo and Baemin into one LOOP kitchen queue. Aggregator API approval turnaround is the longest external dependency in most migrations.
- Step 5
Parallel run, then cut over
2–3 daysRun LOOP alongside the old POS for two to three trading days, reconcile the daily totals, then cut over after close. Downtime is zero; staff need no classroom training because ordering is voice- and text-driven.
Frequently asked
- Is StoreHub bad? Why would anyone leave it?
- StoreHub isn't bad — it's a defensible single-outlet incumbent with strong MY field service. Operators leave when they scale past 1–2 outlets and need AI forecasting, unified aggregator queue, or a lower total cost of ownership than StoreHub's tiered add-on pricing.
- What's the cheapest StoreHub alternative in 2026?
- Loyverse is genuinely free for the POS itself and works for single-outlet indies. For anything with aggregator, e-invoice or AI, LOOP's Free tier and published Growth plan (from RM 249/outlet/month) are the honest low-cost path.
- Best StoreHub alternative for a multi-outlet MY/SG chain?
- LOOP is designed for 2–20 outlet chains: predictive AI forecasting, one unified aggregator queue, daily morning P&L brief, and DuitNow QR + MyInvois compliance built in.
- Which StoreHub alternatives are PSG-approved in Singapore?
- Qashier is the closest like-for-like PSG-listed alternative in Singapore. StoreHub itself is also PSG-listed. LOOP is not currently on the PSG pre-approved list — if grant claiming is the top priority, stay with a listed vendor.
- How hard is it to migrate from StoreHub to another POS?
- Menu, modifier and item CSVs export cleanly from StoreHub. LOOP's migration cohort averages 6–9 working days end-to-end for a 3-outlet chain, hardware mostly retained. Aggregator API relinking is usually the longest step.
- Does LOOP include loyalty?
- LOOP handles operations. For AI-driven customer retention, PEKO is the sibling product from the same company — it runs alongside LOOP or alongside any other POS. Together they cover operations and retention.
- 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.
