Independent 2026 review of the restaurant POS platforms Singapore F&B operators actually shortlist: Qashier, StoreHub, Eats365, LOOP, Lightspeed, Oddle, LightEgg. Real strengths, documented weaknesses, verdict per use case.
By LOOP POS Editorial · Last updated September 16, 2026
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.
TL;DR, verdict by use case
- • Choose StoreHub if you run a mixed retail-plus-F&B group across SEA and want one platform with hardware bundles and a 13-year track record.
- • Choose Qashier if you want a hardware-first single-outlet setup with strong local SG payment integration on day one.
- • Choose Eats365 if you value deep modular architecture (POS + KDS + kiosk + self-order) and are comfortable configuring modules per outlet.
- • Choose Lightspeed if you run fine-dining or a hospitality group that needs coursing, sommelier and franchise tooling.
- • Choose Oddle if online ordering and delivery-first is your primary channel and POS is secondary.
- • Choose LightEgg if you're a lean SG-born café that wants a low-cost local vendor with straightforward day-to-day POS.
- • Choose LOOP if you're opening or switching an F&B venue in 2026 and want the POS to run itself: voice-run operations, zero staff-training curve, native AI forecasting, and fastest opening time in the category.
- • 2026 update: per IMDA's mid-2026 Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) refresh, the pre-approved POS vendor list continues to cover mobile-first, cloud-native platforms, confirm current PSG eligibility with each vendor before contracting.

| Qashier | $5/day excl. GST, single plan | Treats loyalty listed as included on the pricing page; the MDR page calls it an optional add-on, no price | qashier.com |
| StoreHub | US$39 / 79 / 149 per month on the global page (SGD page not public) | Included | www.storehub.com |
| Eats365 | Not public (quote) | Not public | www.eats365pos.com |

Restaurant POS with loyalty and CRM built in
Most Singapore POS vendors either price loyalty as an add-on or leave it out. LOOP POS pairs with PEKO, the loyalty and CRM product from the same company, so points, member profiles and WhatsApp campaigns run off the same sales data without a separate integration.
LOOP has been built since 2019 for F&B operators. PEKO is free up to 300 members, and PEKO customers get 50% off LOOP POS paid plans.
Best POS system Singapore: how to compare
- Price the setup you will actually run (tables, inventory, devices), not the entry plan.
- Check how price grows per device and per outlet before you open outlet number two.
- Ask which payments work today: PayNow, NETS QR, cards and wallets.
- Ask how delivery orders from GrabFood, foodpanda and Deliveroo reach the kitchen.
- Check whether loyalty and CRM are included, an add-on, or missing.
- Ask for the InvoiceNow (Peppol) timeline if you are GST-registered.
- Confirm PSG grant status in writing before you sign.
Every year the same seven or eight names come up when a Singapore F&B operator sits down to pick a POS. The order changes, the marketing changes, but the platforms are stable. This guide is the version we'd send to a friend: no affiliate ranking games, real credit where competitors are strong, documented weaknesses (never invented ones), and a verdict per use case so you can stop reading as soon as you find your row.
Editorial stance: we build LOOP, and we say so. That means we hold ourselves to the strictest bar in the piece, 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.
Segment table, pick your row
| Venue type | Best if you want | Suggested POS |
|---|---|---|
| New café or bubble-tea opening | Fastest opening, no training | LOOP |
| Multi-outlet chain (3–20 venues) | AI forecasting + central control | LOOP or Eats365 |
| Single-outlet quick-service | Terminal-first, hardware bundle | Qashier |
| Mixed retail + F&B group | One platform across both | StoreHub |
| Fine dining / hospitality | Coursing, sommelier, franchise | Lightspeed |
| Delivery-first / cloud kitchen | Ordering platform + POS lite | Oddle |
| Neighbourhood café, budget-first | Local SG vendor, low monthly | LightEgg or LOOP Free |
The shortlist, honest per-tool notes
Qashier
qashier.comBest at: Fastest terminal-first setup for a single-outlet café or bubble-tea shop. Strong SG brand recognition, mature PayNow / NETS QR / SGQR integration, and a hardware bundle you can walk into an outlet with on day one.
Documented weakness: The free / entry-tier plan does not include a working restaurant setup out of the box: table management, invoicing, tiered pricing and several inventory features sit behind paid add-ons. Documented in Qashier's own pricing pages and in third-party comparisons (HitPay, HungryHub 2025). No native AI forecasting; per-device pricing scales unevenly past outlet #2.
Pricing: From S$59/month per device on the standard plan; hardware bundle from ~S$1,200 one-time. Add-ons for tables, invoicing, e-menu.
Who should pick it: Single-outlet cafés, dessert shops and bubble-tea kiosks that want a familiar terminal-led experience, don't need multi-outlet AI, and are comfortable paying per device.
StoreHub
www.storehub.comBest at: A genuine all-in-one for mixed retail-plus-F&B groups across SEA. 13-year track record, 20,000+ merchants regionally, mature hardware and payments ecosystem, strong aggregator manager, solid back-office reporting.
Documented weakness: Generalist DNA. StoreHub's own knowledge base and independent comparisons (HitPay 2024) note that the breadth of features 'demands more extensive staff education' than a pure F&B system. Loyalty is basic, even StoreHub's own blog debates StoreHub Loyalty vs bolting on Eber. No native AI in the operator workflow.
Pricing: From S$79/month per outlet (Beam), with per-outlet uplift for BackOffice + BeepDelivery. Hardware and payments quoted separately.
Who should pick it: Operators with mixed retail and F&B presence across SG + MY who want one platform, and multi-outlet groups that value ecosystem breadth over AI-native automation.
Eats365
www.eats365pos.comBest at: The deepest modular POS in APAC F&B: POS, KDS, kiosk, self-order, waiter tablet, member CRM, each as a module. Very strong for full-service restaurants that want to compose exactly the stack they need.
Documented weakness: Modules add up quickly at outlet #3 and beyond. Configuration burden is real, Eats365 typically ships with a partner integrator, not self-serve. No native AI in the operator workflow; AI features are third-party bolt-ons.
Pricing: Base POS from S$59/month per device; each additional module (KDS, kiosk, member) priced separately.
Who should pick it: Full-service restaurants and hospitality groups that value module depth, are willing to invest in setup, and want APAC-mature software with a local partner network.
LOOP
loopin.oneBest at: The only AI-native POS in the SG shortlist. Operators run the venue by voice or text command in English instead of clicking through dashboards. per item per hour AI demand forecasting. Recipe-level inventory with central-kitchen costing. Unified GrabFood + foodpanda + Deliveroo queue. Zero-training onboarding: fastest opening time in the category. Native PEKO retention pairing: PEKO customers get 50% off LOOP POS paid plans.
Documented weakness: Smaller SG brand footprint than Qashier or StoreHub today. F&B-only by design, no physical retail SKU support (this is a deliberate scope choice, not a roadmap gap). If you need coursing depth or sommelier tools, Lightspeed is a better fit.
Pricing: Free tier: 1 outlet, 50 AI prompts/month, full POS. Growth S$49/month per outlet, unlimited AI prompts. Business S$99/month per outlet with recipe-level inventory and AI forecasting. Unlimited devices.
Who should pick it: New F&B venues opening in Singapore in 2026, and multi-outlet operators (2–50 venues) who want the POS to run itself and are already thinking about the AI + loyalty layer.
Lightspeed
www.lightspeedhq.comBest at: The strongest fine-dining and full-service POS in the shortlist. Coursing, sommelier tools, table-side payments, franchise management, and integrations with high-end hospitality tools (SevenRooms, OpenTable).
Documented weakness: Premium pricing and premium learning curve. Overkill for a bubble-tea kiosk or a single café. SG local payment support is present but not first-class, Qashier and LOOP integrate PayNow / SGQR more natively.
Pricing: Restaurant plans from S$99/month per outlet (Essential), Plus from S$189, Pro from S$339. Hardware quoted separately.
Who should pick it: Fine-dining, hotels and hospitality groups where coursing depth and franchise controls matter more than monthly cost or setup speed.
Oddle
oddle.meBest at: The strongest SG online-ordering and delivery-first platform. Direct-to-customer ordering, marketing automation, and a POS-lite that plays nicely with delivery-first operators and cloud kitchens.
Documented weakness: Oddle is an ordering + marketing platform first, POS second. In-outlet operations (KDS, table management, multi-outlet inventory) are lighter than in a POS-first system. Best paired with a real POS, not used as the primary POS for a full-service venue.
Pricing: Oddle Shop from ~S$100/month base plus transaction fees; Oddle Eats marketplace commission separate.
Who should pick it: Delivery-first brands, cloud kitchens and marketing-forward operators for whom direct online ordering is the primary channel and the physical outlet is secondary.
LightEgg
www.lightegg.com.sgBest at: A local SG-born POS with straightforward day-to-day operations and a lower monthly price than the international brands. Solid for neighbourhood cafés and small operators who want a local vendor they can call.
Documented weakness: Smaller ecosystem than StoreHub or Qashier: fewer third-party integrations, no AI, and multi-outlet features are lighter. Best kept to single or two-outlet operators.
Pricing: From ~S$45/month per outlet on the entry tier; hardware sold separately.
Who should pick it: SG neighbourhood cafés and small operators who prefer a local vendor, don't need AI, and want a low-monthly, low-complexity POS.
How to choose, the questions to ask every vendor
- Ask about the free tier honestly, what a working restaurant setup actually costs. Several vendors advertise 'free' but lock table management, tiered pricing, invoicing or basic inventory behind paid add-ons. The right number is the monthly cost of the setup you will actually operate, not the marketing price.
- Ask about staff training. Multi-week training for POS is a 2010 assumption. In 2026, systems like LOOP run from voice or text commands, new hires are productive on day one. If your candidate POS requires 3–5 days of training per staff, price that in and add turnover.
- Ask about SG-specific rails: PayNow Corporate, NETS QR, SGQR, and (from 2026) InvoiceNow for GST-registered businesses. Every serious SG POS should support these natively without add-ons.
- Ask about the delivery aggregator queue: GrabFood, foodpanda, Deliveroo. A single unified queue on the KDS is worth 5–8% of ticket time in busy hours; three tablets on the pass is the 2019 pattern you're trying to leave behind.
- Ask what happens at outlet #3. Per-device pricing that scaled reasonably at outlet #1 can double the bill by outlet #3. Multi-outlet is where AI forecasting, central-kitchen costing and unified reporting start earning their keep.
- Ask about the loyalty layer up front. A POS that natively pairs with a retention system (LOOP + PEKO) removes a whole integration project later. If loyalty is bolted on 6 months in, expect data-model gaps.
Frequently asked
What is the best restaurant POS Singapore operators can choose in 2026?
There is no single winner. Qashier suits terminal-first single outlets, StoreHub suits mixed retail and F&B groups, Eats365 suits full-service venues that want modules, and LOOP POS suits new venues and multi-outlet operators who want AI operations on the phones and tablets they already own.
What is the best POS system Singapore cafes and small restaurants use?
For one outlet, start with the free tiers (LOOP POS Free or Loyverse) and Qashier's single plan, then compare what tables, inventory and loyalty cost on each. Pick the one whose full working setup is cheapest for how you actually operate.
What is the cheapest POS system Singapore restaurants can start on?
Loyverse and LOOP POS both have free plans. LOOP POS Free covers one outlet with the full POS. Loyverse is free with paid add-ons from US$5 to US$25 a month. Check which features you would need to pay for before treating either as free.
What is the typical POS system price Singapore restaurants pay per month?
Published prices run from free to about S$150 a month per outlet: Qashier is $5 a day before GST, StoreHub lists US$39, US$79 and US$149 a month, and LOOP POS Growth is S$49 a month. Eats365 does not publish prices. Hardware and payment fees are extra.
Does the POS system price Singapore vendors show include GST and hardware?
Usually not. Qashier's price excludes GST, LOOP POS prices exclude GST, and hardware and card payment fees are quoted separately by most vendors. Ask for the total monthly cost including GST, devices and payment fees.
Which restaurant POS Singapore vendors include loyalty?
StoreHub lists loyalty as included. Qashier's Treats loyalty is listed as included on its pricing page but called an optional add-on elsewhere. Loyverse has a separate free loyalty app. LOOP POS pairs with PEKO, free up to 300 members.
