- SiteGiant — Retail-leaning; POS bolted on. Good for unified retail + F&B SKUs.
- Zeoniq — MY full-service-restaurant focus. Solid KDS, weaker AI.
- Slurp — MY cafe / bubble-tea focus. Modern UI; light on multi-outlet financials.
- BigPOS — Hardware + Android-first. Common in heartland.
- Xilnex — Enterprise + retail crossover. Heavy implementation.
- EasyEat — QR-order + dine-in. POS is the lighter side.

FAQ
What is the best POS system for restaurants in Malaysia in 2026?
For a single-outlet cafe, StoreHub Basic or LOOP POS Free are honest options. For single outlets opening for the first time and 2–20 outlet operators who want the AI operations layer, shortlist LOOP POS. For retail-heavy mixed SKUs: SiteGiant.
Is LOOP POS MyInvois compliant?
Not yet. LHDN MyInvois issuance is on the LOOP POS roadmap and we do not overclaim readiness. Today Malaysian outlets export their sales records per outlet for their existing e-Invoice provider.
How does LOOP POS compare to StoreHub for a Malaysian cafe chain?
StoreHub has the bigger install base and field network. LOOP POS wins on AI commands, the daily morning brief and recipe-cost variance — features StoreHub does not bundle.
Which delivery aggregators does LOOP POS integrate with in Malaysia?
None yet in Malaysia. Direct order ingestion from foodpanda, GrabFood and ShopeeFood is on the roadmap; outlets currently key aggregator tickets in as a channel so commission still shows in the daily close.
