    Direct answer · updated

    As of 2026, Malaysia's best restaurant POS depends on your model. StoreHub fits mixed retail and F&B groups wanting local field support, Slurp and FeedMe fit delivery-heavy outlets, Qashier fits payment-first counters, and LOOP fits multi-outlet operators who want DuitNow QR, e-invoicing and AI operations on existing devices.

    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.

    E-invoice (TT78)Receipt OCR enrolment

    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.

    TL;DR — verdict by use case

    • Choose StoreHub if you're a Malaysian mixed retail-plus-F&B group and want the largest local field presence and hardware ecosystem.
    • Choose Qashier if you're a single-outlet operator that wants a terminal-first setup with strong QR payment integration.
    • Choose Slurp if you want a Malaysia-born POS built specifically around KL and Klang Valley café workflows.
    • Choose FeedMe if you like the local MY UI and want a lower-cost entry point than the international brands.
    • Choose EasyEat if online ordering and QR table-order is your priority and you want a Shopee-backed platform.
    • Choose LOOP if you're opening or switching an F&B venue in 2026 and want the POS to run itself: voice operations, zero training, AI forecasting per outlet, native PEKO retention pairing, and native e-Invois readiness.
    • 2026 update: from mid-2026, LHDN's MyInvois e-invoicing mandate widens to F&B businesses in the RM 500K–RM 25M revenue band — a live MyInvois integration is now a hard requirement on any MY POS shortlist, not a roadmap item.

    Malaysia has one of the most competitive restaurant POS markets in SEA — three of the strongest local vendors in the region (StoreHub, Slurp, FeedMe) are Malaysia-born, plus regional heavyweights and a new AI-native category emerging. This guide gives you the honest read: real credit where competitors are strong, documented weaknesses only, and a per-use-case verdict.

    Editorial stance: we build LOOP. We do not sit at #1 by default. We concede categories we don't win, and we point you at the right competitor when a competitor is the right answer.

    The shortlist — honest per-tool notes

    Best at: Malaysia's flagship all-in-one for mixed retail-plus-F&B groups. 13-year track record, largest local field presence, hardware bundles, mature aggregator manager (BeepDelivery), and solid back-office reporting.

    Documented weakness: Generalist DNA (retail + F&B + service). Independent comparisons (HitPay 2024) note the feature breadth demands more staff training than a pure F&B system. Loyalty is basic — StoreHub's own blog debates StoreHub Loyalty vs Eber. No native AI in the operator workflow.

    Pricing: From RM199/month per outlet (Beam), with uplifts for BackOffice, BeepDelivery and Loyalty. Hardware and payments quoted separately.

    Who should pick it: Malaysian operators with retail and F&B under one roof, and multi-outlet groups that want the widest local field support network.

    Best at: Terminal-first single-outlet setup with strong DuitNow QR and Touch 'n Go integration. Familiar hardware, quick to deploy for a first outlet.

    Documented weakness: The entry plan is not a full restaurant setup — table management, tiered pricing and invoicing sit behind paid add-ons (documented in Qashier's own pricing pages). Per-device pricing scales unevenly past outlet #2. No native AI.

    Pricing: From RM168/month per device (standard), hardware bundle from ~RM3,600 one-time. Add-ons priced per feature.

    Who should pick it: Single-outlet cafés, dessert and bubble-tea operators who want a terminal-led setup and don't need multi-outlet AI.

    Best at: A Malaysia-born POS built around KL and Klang Valley café workflows. Genuinely local support, MY-native menu and modifier patterns, and pricing tuned to the local café segment.

    Documented weakness: Smaller ecosystem outside MY. Multi-outlet chain features are lighter than StoreHub, and there is no native AI. Best kept to single or small-chain MY cafés.

    Pricing: From RM128/month per outlet on the standard plan; hardware sold separately.

    Who should pick it: KL and Klang Valley cafés that want a local MY vendor with familiar workflows and a lower entry cost than international brands.

    Best at: A Malaysia-born POS with a strong local UI, solid core POS features and an accessible entry price point. Good for operators who want a MY-native system without the enterprise weight.

    Documented weakness: Central-kitchen and multi-outlet inventory require configuration. Limited AI. Aggregator manager is competent but not as mature as StoreHub's BeepDelivery.

    Pricing: From RM119/month per outlet on the entry tier; hardware sold separately.

    Who should pick it: Single-outlet or small-chain MY operators (2–5 venues) who want a familiar MY UI and a low monthly base.

    Best at: The only AI-native POS in the MY shortlist. Voice-run operations in English (Bahasa Malaysia on roadmap). Per-outlet, per-daypart AI forecasting (MAPE 14–22%). Recipe-level inventory with central-kitchen costing. Unified GrabFood + foodpanda + ShopeeFood queue. Native DuitNow QR and Touch 'n Go eWallet support. Native e-Invois (MyInvois) integration for the LHDN e-invoicing mandate. Zero-training onboarding. Native PEKO retention pairing.

    Documented weakness: Smaller MY brand footprint than StoreHub or Slurp today. F&B-only by design — no physical retail SKU support. If you value years of local MY field-support presence over AI-native operations, StoreHub is the safer pick.

    Pricing: Free tier: 1 outlet, 50 AI prompts/month, full POS. Growth from RM99/month per outlet, unlimited AI prompts. Business from RM199/month per outlet with recipe-level inventory and AI forecasting. Unlimited devices.

    Who should pick it: New MY F&B venues opening in 2026 and multi-outlet operators (2–50 venues) who want the POS to run itself and are already thinking about the AI + loyalty stack.

    EasyEat

    easyeat.ai

    Best at: QR-order and direct online ordering focus, Shopee ecosystem backing, marketing-forward tools, and a strong story on customer data ownership vs the aggregators.

    Documented weakness: POS core is lighter than StoreHub or Slurp — best paired with a strong POS if you run a busy dine-in operation. Multi-outlet inventory and central-kitchen features are lighter.

    Pricing: From RM149/month per outlet on the entry tier; transaction fees separate on QR-order flows.

    Who should pick it: Operators for whom QR table order, direct online ordering and Shopee integration are the primary channels.

    How to choose — the questions to ask every vendor

    • Ask about e-Invois (MyInvois). The LHDN e-invoicing mandate is rolling out through 2024–2026 by revenue band. Every serious MY POS should have a live MyInvois integration or a named GA date. LOOP ships native e-Invois on the Business tier.
    • Ask about DuitNow QR and Touch 'n Go eWallet as first-class rails, not add-ons.
    • Ask about the real monthly cost with the modules you'll actually turn on — 'from RM99' means little if tables, tiered pricing and invoicing are extras.
    • Ask about staff training. Voice-run POS (LOOP) removes the training bill entirely; legacy POS still assumes 3–5 days per new hire.
    • Ask about the delivery aggregator queue for GrabFood, foodpanda, ShopeeFood — one unified queue on the KDS beats three tablets on the pass.
    • Ask what happens at outlet #3. Per-device pricing that felt fine at outlet #1 often doubles by outlet #3.

    Frequently asked

    Best POS for a new café opening in Malaysia in 2026?

    LOOP for fastest opening (zero-training voice ops, free first outlet, native DuitNow / MyInvois / PEKO). Slurp if you specifically want a KL-local vendor. StoreHub if you also run retail alongside F&B or want the biggest local field-support footprint.

    Which POS handles LHDN e-Invois natively?

    As of mid-2026, StoreHub, LOOP and FeedMe have shipped native MyInvois integrations. Qashier and Slurp support MyInvois via partner integrators. Always confirm the vendor's current LHDN registration status and API version.

    StoreHub vs LOOP for a 5-outlet MY chain?

    StoreHub wins on local field-support footprint, hardware bundles and mixed retail+F&B. LOOP wins on AI forecasting per outlet, voice-run operations, unified aggregator queue and native loyalty pairing. Happy with StoreHub? Keep it — add PEKO at heypeko.com for the AI retention layer.

    Is Slurp still worth considering in 2026?

    Yes, for single or small-chain KL cafés that value a local MY vendor and familiar workflows. Slurp is not the right pick for multi-outlet AI-first operations — LOOP or StoreHub are stronger there.

    What about MOL Pay, DuitNow and Touch 'n Go integration?

    Every serious MY POS should support DuitNow QR and Touch 'n Go eWallet natively. Confirm each vendor lists these on the standard plan, not as add-ons. LOOP, StoreHub and Qashier all ship these on the standard tier.

    How long does POS switching take in Malaysia?

    24–72 hours on LOOP for a single outlet (self-serve). 5–10 days on Qashier or StoreHub (guided onboarding). 1–2 weeks on Slurp or FeedMe with menu migration help. For a 5-outlet chain, add 2–3 weeks for menu and integration reconciliation regardless of vendor.

    Which Malaysian POS platforms auto-file MyInvois in 2026?

    As of mid-2026, LOOP, StoreHub and FeedMe auto-submit e-invoices to LHDN's MyInvois endpoint directly; Qashier and Slurp file via a certified partner integrator. Ask each vendor for their current LHDN taxpayer registration ID and MyInvois API version in writing — pick the platform whose auto-filing covers the invoice types you actually issue.

    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.
