Qashier vs FoodZaps in Singapore: Which Fits Your Business? (2026)

Last reviewed: September 2026

Qashier and FoodZaps are both Singapore-registered POS companies aimed at small F&B outlets: cafés, kiosks, hawker stalls and casual restaurants. Both let you start on an Android device, both work offline, and both cover QR ordering and kitchen screens. They differ in how you pay and what is bundled. Qashier charges one daily fee for everything and makes its money partly from processing your card and PayNow payments. FoodZaps sells monthly software tiers and leaves payment processing to a provider you choose. If you are searching “qashier vs foodzaps” (or “foodzaps vs qashier”), this page compares what each publishes on its own site.

How we compared

We read each vendor’s own website on 29 September 2026 and used nothing else: no review sites, no reseller claims and no third-party quotes. Where a detail was not on the pages we reviewed, the table says “not stated on their website”. That means we could not find it, not that it does not exist. We did not test either product. Prices are quoted exactly as published, and they change, so confirm them in writing before you sign.

FoodZaps’ home page describes an Android POS for F&B, with suggested set-ups for cafés, hawker stalls, grab-and-go kiosks, restaurants and bars. Its company story says the project began in 2012 and FoodZaps Technology Pte.

Snack is free; Entrée is $9.90 a month (up to four users); Full Course is $39.90 (unlimited users, kitchen display, customer and queue displays, inventory and a website menu); Gala is $89.90 (on-device customer self-ordering, six extra devices included); and Carnival is $139.90 (online ordering by SMS, QR, website and app, plus third-party integration).

Pricing and what is included

Qashier’s $5 a day works out to roughly $150 in a 30-day month, before GST and before any terminal. Everything is switched on: POS, kitchen display, QR ordering, delivery apps, loyalty, bookings and accounting sync. The catch is that card and PayNow processing sit on top, quoted on its payment rates page (in-store from 1.8% for credit cards and 0.4% for PayNow). For most outlets, the processing fees will matter as much as the daily fee. Our Qashier pricing guide goes through the numbers.

FoodZaps prices by tier. A counter-only kiosk could run on Entrée at US$9.90 a month, and a café that needs a kitchen display and inventory would look at Full Course at US$39.90. Prices are in US dollars, so the Singapore-dollar amount moves with the exchange rate. Card processing is separate, through a provider you pick, so add that provider’s fees and terminal cost before you compare. Also check whether GST applies to your subscription.

Set-up, hardware and devices

Both lean on Android. Qashier runs on your own tablet or on its terminals, and its three-device limit per store covers terminals, KDS screens and kiosks together, so a café with two tills, a kitchen screen and a kiosk should ask how a fourth device is handled. FoodZaps’ hardware page suggests set-ups from a single Android phone and receipt printer for a food truck to a tablet, two ordering devices, receipt and kitchen printers, a router and a cash drawer for a full-service restaurant, and names compatible Epson and Star printers. You source much of that hardware yourself, which keeps costs flexible but puts more of the set-up on you.

Ordering, kitchen and delivery

For dine-in, Qashier covers table plans, courses, QR order-and-pay and station routing in its one price. FoodZaps offers order stations, handheld ordering, a kitchen display and a progress station, with on-device customer self-ordering from Gala and QR and online ordering on Carnival. On delivery, Qashier lists GrabFood and foodpanda orders landing in the same queue as walk-ins. FoodZaps does not name delivery platforms on the pages we read, beyond “third party integration” on its top tier, so confirm which apps it supports before you rely on it.

Support and payments

Qashier’s local support page describes Singapore support backed by regional teams, covering set-up, daily operations and payments, and its site lists support seven days a week. Because Qashier also processes your payments, one team handles both. FoodZaps lists email support levels by plan, a support forum and user guide, and a Singapore office open on weekdays. Evenings and weekends are when F&B problems happen, so ask each vendor how quickly they respond outside office hours.

Which should you choose?

• Best for an all-in-one start with payments: Qashier. One daily fee, built-in payments and set-up in a day.
• Best for the lowest software outlay at a simple counter: FoodZaps, with a free plan and a low-cost Entrée tier, if you are comfortable setting up your own hardware and card processor.
• Best for delivery-heavy outlets: Qashier, which lists GrabFood and foodpanda in one feed.
• Best for many handheld ordering devices: FoodZaps’ higher tiers allow more devices than Qashier’s three per store.
• Best for payment-linked loyalty: Qashier’s Treats recognises customers when they pay.

Payments cover PayNow, PayLah!, NETS, Visa, Mastercard and GrabPay, and AppsPOS is a NETS Certified Vendor. It integrates GrabFood and offers a queue system with SMS notifications and a digital queue display.
