Best F&B POS Systems in Singapore (2026): An Honest Comparison

We make a POS, so read this with that in mind. Below we compare seven F&B POS options, including ours, using only what each vendor publishes on its own website, and show which setup suits which kind of outlet.

Key takeaways

  • Disclosure: ChaChaCha is a POS vendor, powered by AppsPOS. We compared ourselves alongside six other options and used only information published on each vendor’s website as of September 2026.
  • There is no single best F&B POS. A hawker stall, a café, a full-service restaurant and a 10-outlet chain need different things, so we group options by who they suit rather than ranking them.
  • Pricing models differ a lot: some vendors publish a monthly or daily price, others quote per setup. Compare total first-year cost, not the headline number.
  • PSG pre-approval is stated by some vendors and not others. PSG becomes part of the EDGE Grant from 30 September 2026, so ask each vendor what grant support applies before you sign.

Last reviewed: September 2026

How we compared (and why you should know 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. That makes us a competitor of every other system on this page, and you should weigh what we say accordingly.

To keep the comparison fair, we set three rules:

  • Only published facts. Every feature, price and grant claim about another vendor comes from that vendor’s own website, and we link to the page we used. Where we could not find something, we say “not stated on their website” rather than guess.
  • No rankings, no scores. We did not test each system hands-on, so we don’t give star ratings or a numbered league table. Instead we say which kind of business each option appears to be built for.
  • Dated. Vendors change prices and features often. This page was checked in September 2026, and you should confirm anything important with the vendor directly.

We chose the options below because they are widely known in Singapore F&B and appear in local search results for F&B POS systems. Leaving a vendor out is not a judgement on it.

What Singapore F&B businesses need from a POS

Before comparing brands, it helps to be clear about the jobs a POS has to do in a Singapore F&B outlet. Most operators we speak to care about the same short list:

  • Fast ordering at peak. Lunch in the CBD or dinner on a Friday leaves little room for a slow screen. Modifiers (less ice, no spring onion, add egg) should take one tap.
  • Local payments. PayNow, NETS, cards and e-wallets, ideally with the payment terminal integrated so staff don’t key amounts twice.
  • Kitchen flow. Orders should reach the right station, by kitchen printer or kitchen display system (KDS), without someone walking a chit to the back.
  • Self-ordering. QR ordering at the table or a self-order kiosk can take pressure off counter staff when hiring is hard.
  • Delivery. If GrabFood or other platforms are a big share of sales, you want those orders in the same queue as dine-in.
  • Repeat customers. Points, stamps, vouchers or stored value, without forcing customers to download yet another app.
  • Resilience. A plan for when the internet drops mid-service.
  • Reporting and accounting. Daily sales, item performance and, for some, accounting sync or mall GTO reporting.
  • Grants and cost. What grant support applies to the package, and what the first year really costs once hardware, add-ons and payment fees are included.

Keep this list next to you when you read the options below. A system that is ideal for a chain can be too much for a two-person drinks stall, and the reverse is also true.

Quick comparison table

Summary of what each vendor states on its own website, checked September 2026. “Not stated” means we could not find it on the pages we reviewed, not that the feature or status is missing.

System Best for Key strengths (as stated by vendor) Grant status stated on website Pricing published
ChaChaCha (powered by AppsPOS) F&B operators wanting QR ordering, KDS, GrabFood, loyalty and hardware in one package Hybrid POS that keeps taking orders offline, KDS, QR ordering, queue system with SMS, EN/中文 kitchen tickets Approved under the EDGE Grant (via AppsPOS) No, quote-based
Eats365 Multi-outlet groups that want to add modules as they grow Modular core plus add-on modules (KDS, scan-to-order, kiosk, queue) Not stated on their website Yes, POS Basic from SG$39/month on an annual plan

The options in detail

Each summary below lists what the vendor says about itself, with a link to the source page. 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: if the internet drops, it keeps taking orders. It covers table management, split bills and tabs, modifiers and staff permissions, with an English and Chinese (中文) interface and kitchen tickets, which helps where the front of house and the kitchen prefer different languages.

In the kitchen, the kitchen display system routes orders by station, lets the pass prioritise and shows prep timers, and Epson cloud printing handles tickets. Customers can order through QR ordering for dine-in or pre-order, a mobile app, online ordering or a self-order kiosk with a card terminal. There is a queue system with SMS alerts, GrabFood integration and Lalamove for your own deliveries.

Payments include PayNow, PayLah!, NETS, Visa/Mastercard and GrabPay through DBS, UOB and 2C2P. Loyalty covers points and stamps, an e-wallet, vouchers and WhatsApp marketing. Back office includes reports, ERP, Xero integration and the AppsPOS AI agent on WhatsApp. Hardware is supplied by AppsPOS Pte. Ltd., and we confirm the grant support that applies to each setup. Pricing is quote-based. AppsPOS clients include Itacho Sushi, Soi 47 Thai Food and The Carpenters Bar, and AppsPOS has been featured on CNA and Channel 8.

Where it fits best: F&B operators who want QR ordering, KDS, GrabFood, loyalty and hardware in one package, particularly kitchens that need bilingual tickets. Where another option may suit better: if you want a published price you can sign up for online today, or if foodpanda or Deliveroo integration is essential to you, look at vendors that state those integrations on their websites.

Eats365

Eats365 sells a core POS and lets you add expansion modules as needed. Its Singapore pricing page lists POS Basic at SG$39/month on an annual plan (SG$49 on a monthly plan) and POS Advanced at SG$89/month (SG$109 monthly). POS Advanced is described as “able to connect multiple outlets under 1 organization and group”. Modules priced separately include a kitchen display system, expedite display, Scan-to-Order (BYOD), a self-service kiosk, a queue kiosk and queue display, and mPOS. An Enterprise plan is quote-based, and the page offers a 14-day free trial.

Its app store lists integrations including Xero, SevenRooms (reservations) and several loyalty and inventory partners. On its blog, Eats365 says it serves over 10,000 restaurants across 32 markets and mentions coursing and hold/fire functions. PSG pre-approval: not stated on their website.

Suits: groups that want to start small and add modules outlet by outlet, and that are comfortable with modular pricing.

Qashier

Qashier publishes a single price on its pricing page: $5 a day for the whole platform, excluding GST, with terminals as optional daily add-ons (from $0.80 a day more). It says the plan includes the POS, table and QR ordering, kitchen display, GrabFood and foodpanda integration, loyalty, automated marketing, 0% commission online ordering, bookings, GTO submission and accounting integrations such as Xero. The plan lists limits of up to 3 devices per store, 3 HQ users and 10 staff accounts, and Qashier says there is no lock-in contract.

Its restaurant and bar page mentions courses, open tabs, KDS and printed chits, and splitting bills by item or amount. The home page says it serves 25,000+ merchants across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. PSG pre-approval: not stated on their website. Offline operation: not stated on their website.

Suits: single-outlet cafés, kiosks and small restaurants that value a flat, published price, and anyone who needs foodpanda alongside GrabFood.

EPOS

EPOS describes its F&B POS as suited to restaurants, cafés, quick-service outlets, bars and hawkers. Features it lists include a central kitchen system for multi-outlet operators, QR code ordering, inventory management, accounting integration, and delivery integrations with GrabFood, GrabMart, Lalamove, Foodpanda and Deliveroo. The home page says the system “works offline as well” and carries the headline “Less than S$1K after grants”.

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

Suits: SMEs that want a grant-supported system with inventory depth and several delivery platforms in one place.

MEGAPOS

MEGAPOS focuses heavily on self-ordering. Its restaurant POS page lists QR ordering, self-ordering kiosks, a 2-in-1 dual-screen POS and kiosk, GrabFood orders sent to kitchen printers or displays, loyalty and CRM with tiers, pre-paid meal packages and eVouchers, and an offline mode for network disruptions. Its FAQ mentions a 3-year HP manufacturer warranty on HP hardware, first-year software support, and on-site visits when an issue can’t be solved remotely.

Its grants page states that MEGAPOS is a pre-approved solution eligible for up to 50% PSG support. Published pricing for F&B: not stated on their website.

Suits: restaurants, cafés and food kiosks that want kiosks and a hardware-backed service relationship.

Rewardly

Rewardly combines POS, QR ordering, kiosk, payments and its LoyaltyOS CRM. Its pricing page lists a Growth plan from SGD39/month for NEA-licensed hawkers ($59 for non-NEA-licensed hawkers), a Professional plan from SGD99/month that adds kiosk, KDS, eSignage and GrabFood integration, a Flexi rental plan for events, and a custom Enterprise plan. It says annual subscriptions get two months free, and its home page mentions free hardware leasing on annual plans, an offline mode and the TableReady reservation system.

Rewardly positions itself as an alternative to grant-based buying: the home page says “No Need Government Grant”, and its PSG guide describes Rewardly POS as a non-PSG option. Its hawker page refers to the Hawker Productivity Grant.

Suits: hawkers, home-based and micro F&B businesses that want a low monthly subscription and to skip the grant process.

klikit

klikit started from delivery order management and now also offers a POS. Its home page says it integrates with 20+ delivery platforms, including GrabFood, Foodpanda, Deliveroo and ShopeeFood, and lists POS, payments, table management, a kitchen display, multi-printer routing, inventory and a branded ordering website. It mentions running several brands from a single kitchen. Its pricing page describes a Core plus add-ons model priced per outlet, quote-based, with a free trial. PSG pre-approval: not stated on their website.

Suits: cloud kitchens and multi-brand operators whose sales come mostly from several delivery platforms.

Best F&B POS by format

These pairings follow from what each vendor says about itself. They are starting points for a shortlist, not verdicts.

  • Hawker stalls: Rewardly publishes a plan priced specifically for NEA-licensed hawkers, and Qashier’s flat daily price is simple to budget. If you want queue alerts, bilingual tickets and hardware in one package, see our hawker POS. Note that the Hawkers’ Productivity Grant does not cover POS licences or receipt printers (see below).
  • Cafés: Qashier and Eats365 publish entry prices, and most options here offer QR ordering and loyalty. ChaChaCha suits cafés that want QR pre-orders, a kiosk and stamps-based loyalty on one system. See our café POS.
  • Full-service restaurants: look for table management, split bills, coursing and a KDS. Eats365, Qashier, MEGAPOS and ChaChaCha all describe restaurant features on their sites. We cover this in depth in our restaurant POS comparison and on our restaurant POS page.
  • Bars: open tabs and staff permissions matter most. Qashier mentions open tabs on its restaurant and bar page; ChaChaCha supports tabs and staff permissions and is used by The Carpenters Bar.
  • Multi-outlet chains: Eats365’s POS Advanced plan connects multiple outlets, EPOS lists a central kitchen system, and Rewardly and Eats365 both offer enterprise plans. ChaChaCha includes ERP and reports; see our F&B POS overview.
  • Cloud and multi-brand kitchens: klikit’s focus on 20+ delivery platforms fits here.

Pricing models compared

The options above use four broad pricing models. None is automatically cheaper; it depends on your outlet count, the modules you need and your hardware.

  • Flat all-inclusive subscription (Qashier’s $5 a day). Easy to budget. Check the device and staff limits included in the plan.
  • Core plan plus modules (Eats365; klikit’s Core plus add-ons). You pay only for what you use, but a full restaurant setup with KDS, QR ordering and a kiosk can add up. Price the whole bundle you need.
  • Tiered plans by business type (Rewardly’s Growth, Professional and Enterprise). Check which tier includes the features you need, such as KDS or GrabFood integration.
  • Quoted package, often with hardware and grant support (ChaChaCha, MEGAPOS and EPOS’s main POS). Headline prices are not always published, but the quote usually covers hardware, setup and training, and grant support can reduce the net cost for eligible businesses.

Whichever model you consider, add up the same items for the first year: software, hardware, installation, training, add-on modules, payment processing fees and delivery commissions. Our POS cost calculator helps you do that, and the POS system cost guide explains each line.

Grants: PSG, EDGE and the Hawkers’ Productivity Grant

Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG). PSG has supported eligible Singapore SMEs adopting pre-approved IT solutions, which can include POS software and hardware. Of the other vendors above, EPOS and MEGAPOS state PSG pre-approval on their websites, and AppsPOS Pte. Ltd., which supplies ChaChaCha, has been a PSG pre-approved vendor and is approved under the EDGE Grant. From 30 September 2026, PSG, EDG and MRA are combined into a single EDGE Grant, and support for adopting digital solutions continues under its Automation & Digitalisation area, at levels that differ by activity. Applications already submitted under PSG continue to be processed. Support levels, eligible categories and criteria change. MEGAPOS’s grants page, for example, notes that food service companies are no longer eligible for PSG support for retail solutions such as POS systems, so check that the exact package is listed for F&B use. The most common mistake is signing or paying before you apply. Our guide to PSG and the EDGE Grant explains what changes, and GoBusiness has official grant information.

Hawkers’ Productivity Grant (HPG). The HPG is administered by NEA, and its last phase closed on 31 March 2026. NEA’s equipment list excludes POS licences and POS hardware such as receipt printers, scanners and cash drawers, although it has supported e-ordering, queue management and kitchen display systems. So the HPG is not a route to funding a counter POS. Hawkers should check with NEA for any future phase, and our Hawker Productivity Grant guide has the details.

How to choose: a checklist

  1. Write down your format and peak. Covers per hour, number of stations, dine-in versus takeaway versus delivery mix.
  2. List your must-have channels. QR ordering, kiosk, GrabFood, other delivery platforms, your own online ordering. Confirm each vendor states the integrations you need.
  3. Test the kitchen flow. Ask to see an order go from the counter, a QR code and a delivery app to the right printer or KDS station.
  4. Ask what happens offline. Pull the network cable during the demo if you can.
  5. Check languages. If your kitchen team reads Chinese more comfortably than English, ask to see a bilingual ticket.
  6. Confirm payments. PayNow, NETS, cards and e-wallets, the acquirer, and the fees.
  7. Price the full first year. Software, hardware, modules, fees and training, minus any grant you are eligible for.
  8. Check support. Hours, whether on-site visits are available, and who handles hardware faults.
  9. Check the grant route before signing. Ask which support applies under the EDGE Grant, check any HPG phase with NEA for items it covers, or plan without a grant.
  10. Read the contract. Minimum term, cancellation, and who owns the hardware at the end.

If ChaChaCha sounds like a fit, book a demo and bring this checklist. If another option on this page suits your outlet better, we would rather you choose it than switch again in a year.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best F&B POS system in Singapore?

There is no single best option. Hawkers, cafés, full-service restaurants and chains need different features and pricing models. Shortlist two or three systems that state the integrations you need, such as QR ordering, KDS and GrabFood, compare full first-year costs, and test each one with your own menu during a demo.

Which F&B POS systems in Singapore are PSG pre-approved?

As of September 2026, EPOS and MEGAPOS state PSG pre-approval on their websites, and AppsPOS Pte. Ltd., which supplies ChaChaCha, has been a PSG pre-approved vendor and is approved under the EDGE Grant. Others in this comparison do not state it. PSG becomes part of the EDGE Grant from 30 September 2026, so ask each vendor what grant support applies before you sign or pay anything.

How much does an F&B POS cost in Singapore?

Published entry prices we found range from about $5 a day to SG$39 a month for software alone, while other vendors quote per setup. Hardware, add-on modules, payment fees and delivery commissions are extra. Use a cost calculator to compare the full first-year cost rather than the headline price.

Can hawkers use a grant to buy a POS?

Not through NEA for the POS itself. The Hawkers' Productivity Grant's last phase closed on 31 March 2026, and NEA's equipment list excludes POS licences and POS hardware such as receipt printers, although it has supported e-ordering, queue management and kitchen displays. Hawkers registered as eligible SMEs can ask vendors about grant support under the EDGE Grant, which PSG becomes part of from 30 September 2026.

Does ChaChaCha integrate with food delivery platforms?

ChaChaCha integrates with GrabFood, so delivery orders reach the same kitchen queue as dine-in orders, and it supports Lalamove for deliveries you run yourself. If other delivery platforms are essential to your business, check which vendors state those integrations on their websites.

Why is this comparison written by a POS vendor?

Many comparison pages in Singapore are written by vendors. We disclose that ChaChaCha is a POS vendor powered by AppsPOS, use only facts published on each vendor website, link to our sources and avoid ranking ourselves first. Confirm important details with each vendor before deciding.
