Best Cafe POS System in Singapore (2026): Compared

Last reviewed: September 2026

How we compared (and who wrote this)

ChaChaCha is a point-of-sale system for Singapore businesses, powered by AppsPOS Pte. Ltd., a Singapore POS company operating since 2013. We compete with every other system on this page, so weigh what we say with that in mind.

We kept to three rules:

• Only published facts. Every feature, price and grant claim about another vendor comes from that vendor’s own website, linked in the text. Where we could not find something, we write “not stated on their website” rather than guess.
• No league table. We did not test each system hands-on, so there are no scores or rankings. We group options by the kind of café they appear to suit.
• Dated. Prices and features change. Everything here was checked in September 2026; confirm anything important with the vendor before you sign.

We picked options that describe café use on their own sites and that appear in Singapore search results for café POS systems. We tried to include StoreHub, but its Singapore pages returned “not found” when we checked, so it is left out. Leaving a vendor out is not a judgement on it.

What a Singapore café needs from a POS

A café is not a small restaurant. Most revenue arrives in a few short bursts, most tickets are drinks with several modifiers, and many customers are regulars who come in three times a week. That changes what matters:

• Speed during the coffee rush. The 8am office crowd will not wait while a cashier scrolls through menus. Common drinks should sit on the first screen, and modifiers such as oat milk, less sweet, extra shot, iced or hot should take one tap each. Orders should reach the bar or kitchen instantly, with modifiers printed clearly.
• Modifiers that price correctly. An oat milk surcharge or an extra shot should add to the bill automatically and show up in reports, so you can see what customers actually order.
• Loyalty without an app. Few customers will download a separate app for one café. Stamps or points linked to a phone number or payment are easier to adopt and keep the queue moving.
• Pre-orders and QR ordering. Letting regulars order and pay before they arrive takes pressure off the counter at peak. Table QR ordering helps brunch cafés where customers sit for an hour and order a second round.
• A self-order kiosk, if the format fits. Grab-and-go cafés and kiosk-style outlets in malls and MRT stations can move the order-taking job from a staff member to a screen.
• Local payments. PayNow, NETS, cards and e-wallets, ideally with an integrated terminal so staff don’t key amounts twice.
• Offline resilience. Shared mall Wi-Fi and shophouse routers do fail. A POS that keeps taking orders and syncs later saves a lost morning.
• Simple reporting. Daily sales, best-sellers by hour, and item-level margins are what most owners look at. Multi-outlet chains also need central menu control.

For more on how these features work in practice, see our café POS page.

The café POS options in detail

Each summary lists what the vendor says about itself, with a link to the page we used. We have not added claims from reviews, forums or other third parties.

ChaChaCha (powered by AppsPOS)

This is us. ChaChaCha is a web and hybrid POS that keeps taking orders if the internet drops and syncs once it is back. It supports custom modifiers, table management, split bills and tabs, and staff permissions, with an English and Chinese (中文) interface and kitchen tickets.

For self-ordering, QR ordering covers dine-in (scan, order, pay) and pre-order (order, pay, collect), alongside a mobile app, an online ordering page and a self-order kiosk with a built-in card terminal. A kitchen display system routes orders by station with prep timers, and Epson cloud printing sends tickets to multiple printers. Loyalty covers points and stamps, e-wallet or stored value, vouchers, birthday rewards and WhatsApp marketing. Payments include PayNow, PayLah!, NETS, Visa/Mastercard and GrabPay through DBS, UOB and 2C2P, and GrabFood orders come into the same system.

Hardware is supplied by AppsPOS as part of the package, and pricing is quote-based. Where it fits best: cafés that want pre-orders, a kiosk and loyalty on one system, with hardware and setup handled. Where another option may suit better: if you want to sign up online today at a published price, or run everything on your own iPad.

Eats365

Eats365 has a dedicated café and coffee shop page. It describes guests scanning a QR code to choose size, milk and add-ons, a self-service kiosk for walk-ups, orders routed to the right barista station with modifiers in full, pickup displays for waiting customers, time-based menus that switch from breakfast to lunch, and loyalty through its own CRM module or third-party apps.

Its Singapore pricing page lists POS Basic at SG$39/month on an annual plan (SG$49 monthly) and POS Advanced at SG$89/month (SG$109 monthly). Scan-to-Order is SG$119/month per outlet on an annual plan, the Self-Service Kiosk from SG$119/month (iOS, annual), and the pickup display SG$39/month. Loyalty is listed as a premium feature. Offline operation and grant status: not stated on their website.

Suits: café groups that want to start with a core POS and add modules per outlet as they grow.

Qashier

Qashier’s F&B and café page covers counter orders, QR orders, self-order kiosks and delivery apps in one place, and highlights Qashier Treats, loyalty that works at payment “with no app download and no punch cards”. It lists GrabFood and foodpanda integration and payment methods including PayNow, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and GrabPay.

Its pricing page shows one price of $5 a day, excluding GST, covering the full platform including QR ordering at 0% commission, kitchen display and loyalty, with up to 3 devices per store. Terminals are optional daily add-ons, and Qashier says there is no lock-in contract. Card processing rates are quoted separately. Offline mode and grant status: not stated on their website.

Suits: single-outlet cafés and kiosks that want a flat, published price and payment-linked loyalty.

EPOS

EPOS says its F&B POS is built for restaurants, cafés, quick-service outlets, bars and hawkers. It lists QR code ordering, table layouts, inventory with ingredient tracking, accounting integration and delivery integrations including GrabFood and Foodpanda. The home page says the system “works offline as well”. Its loyalty programme runs on WhatsApp: customers scan a QR code to join, without downloading an app.

EPOS states that it is a pre-approved vendor and that “EPOS Enhanced POS” is a pre-approved solution. It also sells EPOS360, a lighter app-based product; the EPOS360 pricing page lists a Grow plan “from SGD50” and a one-time SGD150 fee for its BlueTap payment device.

Suits: cafés with retail items or complex recipes that want inventory depth and a WhatsApp loyalty channel.

MEGAPOS

MEGAPOS has a café and food kiosk POS page. It lists kitchen printer or display linking, recipe and ingredient tracking, staff clock-in, offline mode, QR ordering, a self-ordering kiosk and a 2-in-1 dual-screen POS and kiosk. It also mentions sticker label printing for takeaway containers, an LCD number-calling system, and customer top-up credits and prepaid packages. Its FAQ mentions a 3-year HP manufacturer warranty on HP hardware and on-site visits when an issue can’t be fixed remotely.

The MEGAPOS grants page describes it as a PSG pre-approved solution. The same page also notes that food service companies are no longer eligible for PSG support for retail solutions such as POS systems. Published pricing: not stated on their website.

Suits: takeaway-heavy cafés and food kiosks that want kiosks, label printing and a hardware-backed service relationship.

Rewardly

Rewardly combines POS, QR ordering, kiosk, payments and its LoyaltyOS CRM. Its QR ordering page describes static table QR codes with payment on the phone or at the cashier, order-ahead pickup, and cross-day pre-orders for festive periods. The loyalty page describes earn-and-burn points, including points for tasks and referrals.

Its pricing page lists a Professional plan from SGD99/month, described as “best for cafe or restaurant”, covering POS, QR ordering, self-ordering kiosk, KDS and GrabFood integration, with an all-modules upgrade at $199. A Growth plan from SGD39/month targets hawkers and home businesses. Annual subscriptions get two months free. The home page says “100% with Offline Mode”.

Suits: small cafés where building a member base is the main goal and a monthly subscription suits cash flow.

Shopways

Shopways is a native iPad POS aimed at independent cafés and restaurants. It lists a kitchen display, table QR ordering, floor plans with split bills, stamp rewards with customer lookup by phone, PayNow, SGQR, NETS and card payments, and AI food costing that reads supplier invoices to show each dish’s margin. It says the POS and kitchen display keep working offline.

Its site states a flat price of S$88/month with every module included, no setup fee, no per-terminal charges and no lock-in, and that you need only an iPad to start. Support is by email and WhatsApp during office hours. Self-order kiosk and grant status: not stated on their website.

Suits: owner-run cafés on iPads that want a simple flat fee and a clear view of food cost.

Best café POS by café type

These pairings follow from what each vendor says about itself. Use them to build a shortlist, then book demos.

• Kiosk café or grab-and-go counter: the main job is moving a queue with few staff. Look at options that state a self-order kiosk and a pickup or number-calling display: MEGAPOS (2-in-1 POS and kiosk, LCD number calling), Eats365 (Self-Service Kiosk and Pickup Display modules), Rewardly (kiosk on Professional) and ChaChaCha (kiosk with a built-in card terminal plus a queue display with SMS alerts). See our self-order kiosk page.
• Specialty coffee bar: drink accuracy and regulars matter most. Look for fast modifiers, barista-station routing and loyalty that doesn’t slow the till. Eats365 describes barista routing; Qashier’s Treats and Shopways’ stamps work without an app; ChaChaCha supports stamps and points with pre-orders so regulars can skip the line.
• Brunch café: customers sit, order a second round and split the bill. Table QR ordering, table management and split bills matter more than a kiosk. Qashier, Shopways, Rewardly, EPOS and ChaChaCha all state QR ordering and table features.
• Multi-outlet café chain: you need central menus, pricing and loyalty across branches. Eats365 describes multi-brand and multi-location management; Rewardly’s Professional plan is described for multi-outlets; ChaChaCha includes an ERP for head office and Xero integration.

Café POS pricing models explained

The vendors above use three different models, which makes headline prices hard to compare:

• Flat fee, everything included. Qashier ($5/day excluding GST) and Shopways (S$88/month) publish one price for the full platform. Check device limits, what hardware you still need to buy, and card processing rates.
• Base plan plus modules. Eats365 and Rewardly publish a base price and charge for modules such as QR ordering, kiosk or loyalty, or move them into a higher plan. A café that needs QR ordering, a kiosk and loyalty should add those up before comparing.
• Quoted packages. MEGAPOS, EPOS’s main packages and ChaChaCha quote a package that usually bundles hardware, software, setup and support. These are harder to compare at a glance but can include things you would otherwise buy separately.

Whichever model you choose, work out the first-year total: software, hardware, payment terminal, installation, training, and card processing fees. Our POS cost calculator and guide to POS costs in Singapore can help you build that number.

Grants for café POS systems (EDGE)

Enterprise Singapore’s EDGE Grant page states that EDG, MRA and PSG cease on 29 September 2026, and that from 30 September 2026 businesses apply under the EDGE Grant. It lists support of up to 70% for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs, notes that support levels differ by activity, and caps total grant support at S$100,000 per year across all activities. Grants are paid on a reimbursement basis after the project is completed and paid for.

In practice, this means:

• Don’t assume the old PSG percentage applies. Ask each vendor which EDGE activity their package falls under and what support level that activity carries.
• Budget for paying the full amount first, since support is reimbursed after completion.
• Check vendor grant statements carefully. Some vendor pages still refer to PSG; as noted above, MEGAPOS’s own grants page says food service companies are no longer eligible for PSG support for POS systems.

AppsPOS, the company behind ChaChaCha, has been a PSG pre-approved vendor and is approved under the EDGE Grant. We confirm the support that applies to each setup before you commit. See our POS grant guide for the details.

How to choose a café POS: a checklist

1. Time a rush order. In the demo, ring up “two iced oat lattes, one less sweet, one extra shot, plus a croissant” and see how many taps it takes.
2. Test the modifiers. Check that surcharges price automatically and print clearly on the bar ticket.
3. Decide on self-ordering. QR ordering, pre-order, kiosk or none? Match it to your floor: seated brunch suits QR; takeaway queues suit kiosks and pre-orders.
4. Check loyalty sign-up. How does a new customer join at the counter, and how long does it take? Avoid anything that needs an app download to get started.
5. Pull the plug. Ask what happens when the internet drops mid-rush, and whether card payments still work.
6. List every cost. Software, modules, hardware, terminal, setup, training, and card processing rates for the first year.
7. Ask about support hours. Cafés open early. Check whether support covers 7am on a Saturday.
8. Confirm grant support in writing under EDGE, including the activity and support level.

Where ChaChaCha fits

ChaChaCha suits cafés that want counter, QR, pre-order and kiosk ordering feeding one kitchen or bar display, with loyalty and payments on the same system and hardware supplied as part of the package. It keeps taking orders when the internet drops, prints bilingual kitchen tickets, and includes a queue system with SMS notifications. For chains, head-office ERP and Xero integration cover reporting across outlets.

It is less suited to cafés that want to sign up online at a published price with no conversation, or that are committed to running on their own iPads. If that is you, the flat-fee options above are worth a look.
