LOOP vs Qashier — Best F&B POS for Singapore in 2026
Honest, feature-by-feature comparison of LOOP and Qashier for Singapore multi-outlet F&B operators: AI, inventory, PayNow/NETS, aggregators, pricing.
TL;DR
Qashier is a strong all-in-one terminal-first POS popular with single-outlet SG cafés and bubble tea shops. LOOP is purpose-built for multi-outlet F&B chains that need AI forecasting, central-kitchen control and a unified aggregator queue. Pick Qashier for one outlet with simple ops; pick LOOP at outlet #2.
PEKO ecosystem
LOOP runs the venue. PEKO brings the customer back. Two products, one company.
PEKO — the AI customer-retention platform (heypeko.com) from the same company as LOOP. PEKO handles retention; LOOP handles operations.
| LOOP — operations | PEKO — retention |
|---|---|
| Inventory & recipes | Churn prediction |
| Shift & staff management | Automated win-back |
| Table layout | Member portal |
| Kitchen display (KDS) | Loyalty tiers |
| E-invoice (TT78) | Receipt OCR enrolment |
| Aggregator queue (GrabFood / ShopeeFood / Be) |
LOOP and PEKO each work on their own. Run both and the data syncs into one single AI brain, so nothing is entered twice. PEKO is not a POS and does not replace one — it also runs alongside any other POS.
Feature-by-feature
| Feature | LOOP | Qashier |
|---|---|---|
| Built specifically for multi-outlet F&B | Yes — multi-outlet F&B core from day one | Qashier 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 | Qashier 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 | Qashier offers add-on with manual setup |
| Unified delivery aggregator queue | GrabFood, foodpanda, Deliveroo unified in one KDS queue | GrabFood + foodpanda via aggregator manager; Deliveroo via 3rd-party |
| 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
- Recipe-level deduction keeps food cost variance to ±2% vs ±5–8% on Qashier's add-on inventory.
- AI forecasting drives prep lists per outlet × per daypart — Qashier requires manual prep planning.
- PayNow Corporate, NETS QR and Stripe Terminal supported out of the box on both.
Bottom line
For a single café in Singapore, Qashier's terminal-led setup is genuinely fast to start. For 2+ outlets, central kitchens, or operators who want AI forecasting and one unified delivery queue, LOOP pays back faster.
