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 2–10 outlet chains needing AI, DuitNow, MyInvois and a unified aggregator queue: LOOP POS. For retail-heavy mixed SKUs: SiteGiant.
Is LOOP POS MyInvois compliant?
Yes. LOOP POS issues LHDN-compliant e-Invoices from the ticket screen, including B2B consolidation and the credit-note flow.
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, a unified aggregator queue and recipe-cost variance — features StoreHub doesn't bundle.
Which delivery aggregators does LOOP POS integrate with in Malaysia?
foodpanda, GrabFood and ShopeeFood, all into one kitchen queue with per-platform commission reconciliation.
