- EPOS — Legacy SG incumbent. Solid for single venues; limited cloud + AI.
- MegaPOS — Mid-tier SG player. Good Chinese-cuisine workflows; no AI assistant.
- StoreHub — MY-origin player active in SG. Comparable to LOOP at lower outlets.
- HitPay POS — Payment-first; POS is the lighter side. Pair with LOOP if you already use HitPay rails.

FAQ
What's the best POS for a Singapore cafe in 2026?
For a single cafe under 200 covers/day, Qashier or LOOP Free cover the basics. For a 2+ outlet cafe chain in SG, LOOP wins on AI commands, unified aggregator queue and daily P&L — features Qashier and EPOS don't bundle at the same price.
Does LOOP support PayNow and NETS QR?
Yes — both via dynamic per-ticket QR. Settlement reconciles automatically against the ticket so cashiers never type a reference number.
How long does migration from EPOS or Qashier to LOOP take?
Median 9 working days for a 3-outlet SG chain: menu + recipe import, hardware (printers, KDS, cash drawers), staff training, two parallel-run weekends.
Which delivery aggregators does LOOP integrate with in Singapore?
foodpanda, Deliveroo and GrabFood — all into one unified kitchen queue. No more juggling three tablets.
