What POS system is best for a cafe in Singapore?

For a single Singapore cafe under 200 covers/day, LOOP Free or Qashier handle the basics including PayNow + NETS QR. For a 2+ outlet cafe chain, LOOP wins on AI commands, recipe-level milk variance tracking, and unified GrabFood/foodpanda/Deliveroo queue at a lower per-outlet cost than the EPOS/Qashier upgrade tiers.

Key facts

  • LOOP Free: 1 outlet, 50 AI prompts/month
  • Espresso recipe variance is the top cafe cost leak
  • PayNow QR settles same-day
  • GrabFood ~30% commission in SG
