Restaurant POS in Vietnam
Vietnam is LOOP POS's home market: VietQR and wallets at the counter, e-invoicing from a cash register connected to the tax authority, and three delivery platforms at once — all on the phones and tablets a venue already owns.

What we measure, and what the rules say
median 5–8 working days to migrate from KiotViet across 42 outlets we migrated, as of 2026-09-12
E-invoicing: venues in scope must issue invoices generated from a cash register connected to the tax authority under Decree 70/2025/ND-CP, which amends Decree 123/2020/ND-CP. LOOP POS issues them straight from the order screen through a licensed provider.
Cities and districts we serve
- TP.HCM (in Vietnamese) — The densest multi-outlet F&B market in the country: high venue density, long shifts, a large share of delivery orders and constant promotion pressure.
- POS in Quận 1 (in Vietnamese) — Central business district: office diners by day, tourists at night, a brutal lunch peak, bilingual menus and split bills every day.
- POS in Quận 3 (in Vietnamese) — Garden cafés and mid-range restaurants where guests linger, so revenue spreads through the day instead of stacking into one peak.
- POS in Quận 7 (in Vietnamese) — Residential and expat area around Phu My Hung: family orders, higher average bills, weekends as the peak.
- POS in Bình Thạnh (in Vietnamese) — A dense mix of beer halls, bubble tea and everyday eateries, with long evening shifts and fast staff turnover, so the POS has to be easy to teach.
- POS in Phú Nhuận (in Vietnamese) — Chain cafés and small restaurants serving nearby offices; tight floor space means the counter has to run on a tablet.
- POS in Thủ Đức (in Vietnamese) — A large area with student clusters and the high-tech park: a big delivery share, lower bill values but high order counts.
- Hà Nội (in Vietnamese) — The Old Quarter plus Tay Ho and Cau Giay: strong coffee and hotpot demand, a clear cold-season lift for hotpot, and multi-floor venues that need accurate per-station kitchen printing.
- Đà Nẵng (in Vietnamese) — A tourism rhythm: weekend and summer peaks, multilingual menus, and seasonal staff who need a POS they can learn within one shift.
Business types
- POS for coffee shops (in Vietnamese) — Vietnam's largest chain category, with many topping and size options.
- POS for bubble tea (in Vietnamese) — Fast counter turnover and back-to-back promotion campaigns.
- POS for banh mi (in Vietnamese) — Thin margins and a very short morning peak.
- POS for pho (in Vietnamese) — Traditional noodle soup, portioned by stock pot per shift.
- POS for beer halls (in Vietnamese) — Large bills, big tables, long evening shifts.
- POS for hotpot (in Vietnamese) — Priced per head or per pot, with clear weather-driven seasonality.
- POS for buffet (in Vietnamese) — Per-head pricing where cost depends entirely on waste.
- POS for bakery (in Vietnamese) — Produced ahead, sold same day, written off at close.
- POS for japanese restaurants (in Vietnamese) — Set menus, sashimi and high-cost imported ingredients.
- POS for korean restaurants (in Vietnamese) — Table-top grilling and free banchan side dishes.
- POS for cloud kitchens (in Vietnamese) — Several brands in one kitchen with no dine-in guests.
- POS for food courts (in Vietnamese) — Many stalls in one hall, reconciled with the landlord each period.
Payments at the counter
- VietQR — A dynamic VietQR code is generated per bill, so bank transfers reconcile against the order automatically and cashiers never key them in. (verified 2026-09-12)
- MoMo — MoMo transactions reconcile bill by bill rather than in payout batches. (verified 2026-09-12)
- ZaloPay — ZaloPay promotions are recorded on the bill as it happens, not offset at period close. (verified 2026-09-12)
Food delivery: GrabFood, ShopeeFood and Be
- GrabFood — the largest delivery platform in tier-1 cities.
- ShopeeFood — heavily subsidised, with a large share of lower-value orders.
- Be — a growing local platform, strongest in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
LOOP POS merges all three into one kitchen queue and one revenue report.

FAQ
Which POS software suits an F&B chain in Vietnam in 2026?
KiotViet is still the broadest mainstream platform and iPOS.vn has the deepest on-site rollout network. If your chain needs AI forecasting, recipe-level inventory deduction and delivery orders merged into one queue alongside e-invoicing, put LOOP POS on the list.
Does LOOP POS issue cash-register e-invoices?
Yes — issued straight from the order screen through a licensed provider, following the connected cash-register model required by Decree 70/2025/ND-CP.
How long does moving from KiotViet to LOOP POS take?
A median of 5–8 working days across the outlets we migrated (n=42, as of 2026-09-12), running both systems in parallel for the last few days and cutting over after closing.
Can LOOP POS keep selling when the internet drops?
Yes. Ordering, kitchen printing and payment capture keep working offline, and data syncs once the connection returns.
