    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?

    Which delivery aggregators does LOOP POS integrate with in Malaysia?

    foodpanda, GrabFood and ShopeeFood, all into one kitchen queue with per-platform commission reconciliation.
