LOOP vs FoodMarketHub — HK F&B Procurement & POS (2026)
FoodMarketHub vs LOOP for Hong Kong restaurants: procurement, recipe inventory, AI ops, aggregator integrations and pricing.
TL;DR
FoodMarketHub is best-in-class for restaurant procurement. LOOP unifies procurement with POS, recipe inventory and AI ops in a single platform.
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.
Feature-by-feature
| Feature | LOOP | FoodMarketHub |
|---|---|---|
| Built specifically for multi-outlet F&B | Yes — multi-outlet F&B core from day one | Procurement-first; pairs with separate POS |
| Native AI voice & text commands (English + local language) | Ask LOOP in English, Bahasa, Mandarin or Cantonese: pull reports, change prices, draft promos in 12 seconds | FoodMarketHub surfaces dashboards; operator must still interpret and act manually |
| AI demand forecasting (per-outlet × per-daypart) | Native, 8–12% MAPE after 90 days of training; feeds the morning prep list | Not available natively |
| Recipe-level inventory deduction | Built-in, multi-level sub-recipes, central-kitchen costing | Recipe + COGS module present; not linked to a native POS |
| Unified delivery aggregator queue | GrabFood, foodpanda, Deliveroo in one KDS queue | Partial integrations, often via 3rd-party middleware |
| Offline POS + KDS | Full POS + KDS keep working offline; payments queue and sync | Procurement does not require offline POS |
| Flat per-outlet pricing, unlimited devices | Yes — one flat fee per outlet, every device included | Per-device or per-user tiers add up quickly at outlet #2 |
Highlights
- End-to-end ledger: procurement → recipe → POS sale → variance, no CSV bridges.
- AI anomaly digest catches variance the moment it appears in the recipe ledger.
- FPS and HK e-wallets supported out of the box on the POS side.
Bottom line
FoodMarketHub is the right pick if procurement is the only gap. LOOP is the better choice when you want POS + procurement + AI in one ledger.
FAQ
Is LOOP available in Hong Kong?
Yes. LOOP serves multi-outlet F&B operators in Hong Kong with local payment rails, aggregator integrations and HKD pricing. Onboarding is handled by the LOOP regional team.
How long does migration from our current POS take?
Typical migrations complete in 2–3 weeks per outlet. Week 1: menu + 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 locally?
LOOP supports the dominant local rails out of the box — see the market page for the full list — plus Visa/Mastercard, AmEx, JCB and UnionPay where the acquirer supports them.
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.
