LOOP vs BIG POS — Malaysia Restaurant POS (2026)
BIG POS vs LOOP for Malaysian F&B operators: AI, recipe inventory, e-invoicing (LHDN MyInvois), aggregators and pricing in MYR.
TL;DR
BIG POS is a budget-friendly MY F&B POS popular with single-outlet operators. LOOP is the AI-native pick for chains scaling past outlet #2 with central-kitchen needs.
Feature-by-feature
| Feature | LOOP | BIG POS |
|---|---|---|
| Built specifically for multi-outlet F&B | Yes — multi-outlet F&B core from day one | BIG POS serves F&B alongside retail/other verticals |
| 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 | BIG POS 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 | BIG POS offers add-on with manual setup |
| 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 | Order entry only when offline |
| 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
- LHDN MyInvois e-invoicing automated end-to-end; consolidated B2C and per-transaction B2B flows.
- AI forecasting + anomaly alerts ship in-product, no add-ons.
- Recipe-level deduction with sub-recipes and central-kitchen transfers in one ledger.
Bottom line
BIG POS works for a first outlet on a tight budget. LOOP is the better fit when AI forecasting, MyInvois e-invoicing automation and central-kitchen control become unavoidable.
