Cloud restaurant POS and billing for Malaysia — 6% service tax on the bill, ringgit invoicing, and QR ordering that works as well for a Penang kopitiam as it does for a KL bistro.

The things that actually differ market to market — tax, currency, language and how people pay — handled rather than worked around.
Set the F&B service tax rate once, override per item where a line is not taxable, and pull a tax summary for any date range at filing time.
Guests scan to browse and order from the table. Record DuitNow QR, card and cash payments separately so the day-end cash-up reconciles.
GrabFood, foodpanda and ShopeeFood volume can be logged next to dine-in so one report covers the whole trading day.
Run outlets across peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia from one dashboard with per-branch pricing and group reporting.
Stock deducts as you sell, with low-stock alerts and recipe-level costing so a busy weekend does not empty the store unnoticed.
Bill from a phone at a hawker stall, a tablet at the table or a full terminal at the counter — same system, same reports.
Every payment type lands in the same day-end report, so cash, card, gateway and delivery money reconcile together instead of in four places.
Cards plus Malaysian local rails including FPX online banking and GrabPay, settled in ringgit.
International cards and cross-border corporate catering.
Southeast Asian payments coverage for outlets operating across the region.
Keep your existing terminal or DuitNow QR standee and record the payment type in MealNix so the day-end still balances.
What MealNix does, stated plainly.
One system that adapts to how your outlet actually runs.
Round-the-clock service, fast parcel billing, shift-wise cash register closing and multiple staff logins with roles.
Token numbers, quick-pick menus and counter-speed billing that works on a phone or a tablet rather than a full terminal.
Several delivery-only brands out of one kitchen, each with its own menu, pricing and reporting.
Modifier-heavy drink menus, loyalty for regulars and QR ordering from the table for the KL and Penang café scene.
Table plans, course-wise kitchen tickets, split bills and service charge handling.
Advance bookings with part payments, bulk orders and ingredient planning against confirmed covers.
MealNix is cloud software with remote onboarding, so there is no install visit to wait for — wherever you are in Malaysia, you can be billing today.
Bill from a phone on the floor, a tablet at the table or a full terminal at the counter.
English and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese ship as interface languages. Bahasa Malaysia is not one of the bundled languages, but the Language Pack module lets you add and edit your own translation.
Where a POS built for somewhere else tends to fall down.
| Capability | MealNix | Generic imported POS |
|---|---|---|
| Local tax handling | Service tax at 6%, with per-item overrides | Often a single hard-coded rate, or none |

| Interface language | English and Chinese | Usually English only |
| Local payment rails | Stripe, PayPal | International cards only, if that |
| QR menu & table ordering | Included on paid plans | Usually a paid add-on |
| Runs on a phone or tablet | Yes — Android, iOS and web | Often needs proprietary hardware |
| Free plan | Free Starter plan, no time limit | Rarely offered |
Remote onboarding, so there is no waiting for an engineer to be in your city.

Import your existing menu rather than retyping it, then set modifiers, kitchen routing and pricing.
Link Stripe or another supported gateway, or keep your existing terminal and record payment types.
Train your staff on the terminal, phone or tablet you already have, and start billing. Support is available while you settle in.
Straight answers, including the ones that are not a simple yes.
MealNix is a cloud restaurant POS that runs in Malaysia: it applies 6% service tax on food and beverage service, invoices in ringgit carrying your SST registration number, and handles QR table ordering, kitchen displays, inventory and multi-outlet reporting from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu. There is a free Starter plan and a 30-day free trial of the paid plans.
Service tax on food and beverage service sits at 6%. Set it once in MealNix and it applies to every order, with per-item overrides where a line is not taxable. Invoices show your SST registration number with the net amount, the service tax amount and the gross total in ringgit. If your turnover is below the registration threshold, run with tax switched off and turn it on the day you register.
No. MealNix does not currently integrate with the MyInvois platform. It handles the billing itself — the service tax calculation, the itemised invoice, the payment and the reporting — but the e-invoice submission to LHDN has to be handled separately if your business falls inside the mandate. Malaysia is phasing the requirement in by annual turnover band, so check which phase applies to you, and talk to us before you buy if this is a hard requirement.
English and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese ship as built-in interface languages. Bahasa Malaysia is not one of the bundled translations, but the Language Pack module lets you add and edit your own language, so you can put the interface into Malay yourself. We would rather be straight about this than imply it ships ready.
Stripe is supported and covers FPX online banking and GrabPay with settlement in ringgit. For DuitNow QR, most outlets keep their existing standee or terminal and simply record the payment type in MealNix, so the day-end cash-up still reconciles across cash, card, QR and aggregator payments.
Yes. Round-the-clock outlets use MealNix for shift-wise cash register opening and closing, multiple staff logins with roles, fast parcel billing and kitchen tickets printed to the right station. It runs on a phone or a tablet, so you do not need to find counter space for a full terminal.
Yes. Paid plans come with a 30-day free trial, and the free Starter plan has no time limit, no per-user fee and no setup fee. You can import your existing menu rather than retyping it.
