What is Qasir?
Qasir is an Indonesian POS company headquartered in SCBD Jakarta, one of the city's main business districts. Backed by seed funding from Tinc (a Southeast Asian venture fund), Qasir targets small to medium businesses across Indonesia with an accessible, easy-to-use point of sale system.
Key strengths:
- Jakarta presence: Local team based in SCBD, accessible for support
- GrabFood integration: Direct connection to Indonesia's largest delivery platform
- Affordable pricing: Competitive entry point for small businesses
- Simple interface: Designed for users without technical background
- Basic reporting: Track daily sales and performance
Limitations for growing restaurants:
- Limited delivery aggregation: Only GrabFood integration; no GoFood, ShopeeFood, or other platforms
- No kitchen display system: Orders require manual communication to kitchen
- Basic multi-location: Limited centralized management for brands with multiple outlets
- No inventory sync: Manual stock management across platforms
- Limited analytics: Cannot analyze delivery platform performance comprehensively
Why Growing Restaurants Outgrow Qasir
Many Indonesian restaurants start with Qasir because of its affordability and local presence. But as your business expands—particularly if you operate across multiple delivery platforms—the limitations become costly.
The Multi-Platform Challenge
Indonesian restaurants increasingly use multiple delivery platforms to maximize reach:
- GrabFood — Market leader, 70%+ market share
- GoFood (Gojek) — Dominant in Jakarta and Surabaya
- ShopeeFood — Fast-growing with aggressive promotions
- Tokopedia Eats — Expanding food delivery
With Qasir's limited integration, restaurants face the same problem:
- Separate tablets for each platform
- Manual order transcription into the POS
- Errors on 1 in 10 orders (wrong items, missed modifications)
- No unified view of performance across platforms
The cost: A restaurant receiving 100+ daily orders across 3 platforms spends approximately 2-3 hours daily on manual entry—labor worth Rp 2,000,000-3,000,000 monthly.
The Multi-Location Gap
For restaurant brands with 2+ outlets, Qasir's basic multi-location features create challenges:
- No centralized menu management—changes must be made outlet by outlet
- No consolidated reporting across the brand
- Limited visibility into per-location performance
- Disjointed customer data
How Klikit Solves Restaurant-Specific Problems
Klikit was built for the complexity of Indonesian food service. Here is how it addresses the gaps left by Qasir:
1. True Order Aggregation
Klikit integrates directly with Indonesia's major delivery platforms:
- GrabFood — Indonesia's largest delivery platform
- GoFood — Gojek's delivery arm, dominant in Jakarta and Surabaya
- ShopeeFood — Fast-growing competitor with aggressive promotions
- Tokopedia Eats — E-commerce giant's food delivery
- 15+ total platforms — Including Uber Eats, Didi Food, and more
All orders appear on a single screen. No manual entry. Kitchen staff see exactly what the customer ordered, sorted by platform.
2. Kitchen Display System (KDS)
Klikit's KDS transforms kitchen operations:
- Orders display on screens in the kitchen
- Sorted by preparation time and priority
- Color-coded by platform (GrabFood green, GoFood blue, etc.)
- Alerts when items are overdue
- Tracks preparation times to optimize workflow
3. Real-Time Inventory Sync
When a dish sells out, Klikit automatically marks it unavailable across all connected platforms:
- Prevents customer disappointment from out-of-stock orders
- Protects your platform ratings from refund requests
- Eliminates manual platform updates
4. Multi-Location Dashboard
For restaurant groups, Klikit provides centralized control:
- One menu update pushes to all locations instantly
- Compare performance across outlets in real time
- Transfer inventory between locations
- Standardize pricing and promotions chain-wide
5. Analytics Built for Restaurants
Klikit reports answer restaurant-specific questions:
- Which delivery platform has the highest average order value?
- Which menu items have the longest preparation time?
- Which hours see the most cancellations?
- Which outlet is most efficient per staff hour?
When to Choose Qasir
Qasir remains a viable choice for:
- Single-location restaurants with no delivery platform presence
- Very small cafes with simple menu structures
- Businesses on tight budgets that can absorb manual processes
- Operations focused only on GrabFood with no plans to expand
If your monthly revenue is under Rp 30,000,000 and you only use GrabFood, Qasir provides good value.
When to Switch to Klikit
Consider upgrading when:
- You use 2+ delivery platforms—manual entry becomes unsustainable
- You operate 2+ locations—centralized management saves hours daily
- Order errors are costing money—integrations eliminate transcription mistakes
- You need kitchen display—improve speed and accuracy
- You want real-time analytics—make data-driven decisions
- Headquarters needs visibility—real-time reporting across all outlets
Pricing Comparison
| Cost Factor | Qasir | Klikit |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Software | From Rp 300,000 | Contact us for pricing |
| Hardware Required | Android phone/tablet | Any tablet or existing POS hardware |
| Delivery Integrations | GrabFood only | 15+ platforms included |
| KDS | Not available | Included |
| Hidden Costs | Manual entry labor (Rp 2-3M/month) | None |
The reality: While Qasir starts at a lower price point, the labor cost of manual processes often exceeds the price difference. A restaurant with 100 daily delivery orders spends approximately 2-3 hours daily on manual transcription—labor worth Rp 2,000,000-3,000,000 monthly.
Migration Path: Switching from Qasir to Klikit
Moving from Qasir to Klikit is straightforward:
- Export your data: Qasir allows CSV export of products and sales history
- Import to Klikit: Bulk upload your menu with photos, prices, and categories
- Connect delivery platforms: Link your existing GrabFood, GoFood, and ShopeeFood accounts
- Set up KDS: Configure kitchen displays for each station
- Train staff: Most users are comfortable with Klikit within one shift
- Parallel operation: Run both systems for 1 week to ensure smooth transition
Final Verdict
Qasir is a reasonable starting point for very small businesses with simple needs and single-platform focus. Its Jakarta presence and GrabFood integration make it accessible for basic operations.
Klikit is the upgrade path for growing restaurants that have outgrown single-platform limitations. The cost difference is recovered through reduced errors, faster operations, better kitchen organization, and data-driven decision-making.
