Quick answer

What is LOOP POS?

LOOP POS is the AI-native POS for F&B in Southeast Asia. It runs on the phone in your pocket: you type or say one sentence and the menu, prices or shift settings change.

It ships with an AI Daily Brief, an AI inventory forecast and quiet-hour promo suggestions — it works fully offline, syncs across every outlet, and answers owner questions in plain English.

LOOP POS is the AI POS for F&B operators

LOOP POS is a point-of-sale system with AI at its core, built for single outlets opening for the first time and for 2–20 outlet operators who want the AI operations layer. Put the menu in tonight and take the first order tomorrow — it suggests how much to prep before the morning rush, flags a dish whose food cost has drifted, and answers questions by voice or chat.

Core differentiators: AI demand forecasts per item per hour, recipe-level stock deduction, one kitchen queue for every order channel, and PEKO loyalty over WhatsApp with no separate customer app required.

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 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.

Why Malaysia operators struggle with legacy POS

POS add-on pricing traps

The most popular "free" POS plans in MY lock table management, reporting, or multi-outlet behind paid add-ons, the sticker price is rarely the real bill. LOOP publishes one flat per-branch price with everything included.

Multi-outlet chaos across KL, PJ, Penang and JB

Malaysian F&B chains routinely span multiple states, each with its own supplier, aggregator mix, and Sunday closing patterns. Legacy POS forces spreadsheets. LOOP consolidates every branch into one AI Daily Brief.

Delivery-platform dependency (30–35% commissions)

foodpanda + GrabFood + ShopeeFood together take 30–35% of a typical MY outlet's delivery revenue. LOOP unifies all three into one kitchen queue with per-platform commission reconciliation so operators can see the real net.

How LOOP compares: StoreHub vs Qashier in Malaysia

In Malaysia, the two names that come up most in a POS shortlist are StoreHub (KL-based incumbent) and Qashier (Singapore-born, now active in MY). Here is where LOOP lands against each.

LOOP vs StoreHub

StoreHub owns brand recall in MY F&B and has the largest local field network, a real advantage for onboarding day one. But table management, advanced reporting and AI live in upper tiers, so the real monthly bill for a 3–5 outlet KL/PJ chain often runs well above the sticker. LOOP includes table management, split-bill, the AI Daily Brief and the unified foodpanda + GrabFood + ShopeeFood queue at one flat per-branch price, with the Free tier covering a full first branch.

Read the full LOOP vs StoreHub comparison

LOOP vs Qashier

Qashier's strength is bundled hardware and integrated payments, a fast setup for a single Klang Valley café that wants a one-vendor stack. Where LOOP wins for MY operators is the AI ops layer and multi-outlet economics: voice ordering in English (Bahasa Malaysia on roadmap), a per-outlet AI Daily Brief across KL, PJ, Penang and JB, and a per-SKU inventory forecast, all at one published per-branch price with no add-on lockouts.

Malaysia, frequently asked

What is the best AI POS for a Malaysia restaurant in 2026?

For a new MY opening or a 2–10 outlet chain that wants voice commands, an AI morning brief, and a unified foodpanda + GrabFood + ShopeeFood queue in one kitchen display: LOOP. StoreHub is the incumbent alternative with a larger MY field network, and Slurp / EasyEat are strong on QR ordering, both are lighter on the AI ops layer and typically split table management, reporting or forecasting across paid add-ons. LOOP publishes one flat per-branch price with everything included.

How is LOOP different from StoreHub in Malaysia?

StoreHub is a well-supported transactional POS with a strong MY install base and hardware bundling. LOOP is an AI POS: voice ordering in English (Bahasa Malaysia on roadmap), an AI Daily Brief at 07:00 MYT covering every branch across KL, PJ, Penang and JB, per-SKU inventory forecasts, and a unified aggregator queue are bundled at one price.

Is LOOP MyInvois (LHDN e-Invois) compliant for Malaysian F&B?

LHDN's e-Invois mandate is being phased in by revenue band, most F&B SMEs fall into 2025–2026 waves. LOOP already produces tax invoices with the required SST fields, business registration number and TIN. Full MyInvois (Peppol via LHDN) submission through certified access points is on our active roadmap; we do not overclaim readiness. Please contact us for current status against your specific SSM revenue band and go-live date.

Which delivery aggregators does LOOP integrate with in Malaysia?

foodpanda, GrabFood and ShopeeFood, all three flow into one kitchen display with per-platform commission reconciliation. Because the combined 30–35% commission bleed is visible against every ticket and every day, operators can see the real net per outlet across KL, PJ, Penang and JB without exporting three separate merchant dashboards each morning.

Does LOOP charge extra for table management or reporting in Malaysia?

No. Many MY "free" POS plans lock table management, split-bill, or multi-outlet reporting behind paid add-ons, so the real monthly bill often lands 2–3× the sticker. LOOP's Free tier includes table management, split-bill, receipts and basic reporting for 1 branch forever. From the second branch onward it is one flat per-branch price, no per-terminal fees, no add-on lockouts.

Does LOOP support DuitNow QR, GrabPay and card in Malaysia?

Yes. DuitNow QR is supported through dynamic per-ticket QR with auto-reconciliation against the open bill. GrabPay, Touch 'n Go eWallet and Boost are supported via the wallet hub. Visa, Mastercard and MyDebit are processed through local acquirers depending on the operator's PayNet / bank relationship.

How much does LOOP cost per outlet in Malaysia?

Free forever for 1 branch, including voice ordering, AI Daily Brief and basic reporting, not a 30-day trial. Growth is RM 129 per branch per month from the second branch onward and unlocks multi-branch consolidation, the AI Inventory Forecast and the aggregator queue. Business is RM 259 per branch per month and adds central-kitchen recipe cost variance and API access. Prices exclude 8% SST where applicable.

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.
