Detailed Breakdown
1. Market Coverage
Winner: Klikit
Klikit operates across 7 markets in APAC: Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan. Qashier focuses primarily on Singapore and Malaysia. If you're expanding across Southeast Asia, Klikit gives you one system for all your locations.
2. Pricing
Winner: Klikit
Klikit starts at $25-39/site/month with no mandatory hardware purchase — use any Android tablet you already have. Qashier's Essential Plan is $2/day (~$60/month) plus hardware costs starting at $998 for the QashierX2. For a 5-outlet restaurant, Qashier hardware alone could cost $5,000+.
3. Delivery Platform Integration
Winner: Klikit
This is where the difference is stark. Klikit integrates with 6+ delivery platforms: GrabFood, Gojek, Uber Eats, Foodpanda, ShopeeFood, and TikTok Shop. All orders appear on a single tablet with automatic routing to kitchen displays.
Qashier integrates with GrabFood and foodpanda, but merchants report needing to manually check each platform — increasing errors and delaying order fulfillment.
4. Order Aggregation
Winner: Klikit
Klikit's signature order aggregation feature means all delivery orders flow into one dashboard. No more running between apps. Staff see orders from all platforms in real-time, auto-routed to the correct kitchen station. Qashier requires merchants to check each delivery app separately.
5. Restaurant Type Suitability
Winner: Tie
Both systems work well for:
- Quick service restaurants (QSR)
- Cafes and coffee shops
- Full-service restaurants
- Fast-casual concepts
Klikit has an edge for cloud kitchens and multi-location chains due to its centralized management and lower cost per location.
6. Payments
Winner: Qashier
Qashier offers its own payment processing with MAS license in Singapore, giving them tighter integration with local payment infrastructure. Klikit supports multiple payment processors including Stripe, Xendit, and local providers — more flexibility but potentially more setup work.
7. Customer Support
Winner: Klikit
Klikit provides dedicated account managers and 24/7 support across all markets. Qashier's support is primarily during business hours in Singapore.
When to Choose Klikit
- You're a multi-location restaurant or chain expanding across APAC
- You rely heavily on delivery platforms (especially GrabFood, Gojek, or TikTok Shop)
- You want to avoid large upfront hardware costs
- You need order aggregation from multiple delivery apps on one screen
- You're operating in the Philippines or Indonesia — Qashier doesn't serve these markets
When to Choose Qashier
- You're a single-location restaurant in Singapore focused mainly on dine-in
- You prefer all-in-one hardware and don't mind the upfront cost
- Your payment needs are straightforward (Card, PayNow, NETS only)
- You don't need delivery platform integration beyond GrabFood and foodpanda
Summary
For most Southeast Asian restaurants — especially those with delivery operations, multiple locations, or expansion plans — Klikit offers better value. Lower costs, more delivery integrations, and order aggregation on a single device make it the practical choice for growing F&B businesses.
Qashier works well for simple Singapore/Malaysia dine-in operations that prefer integrated hardware. But for restaurants serious about delivery and multi-location growth, Klikit wins.
