Quick answer: Most POS systems for small business in Singapore come capped and stripped down, while the best tools are reserved for enterprises. Qashier's single $5/day plan flips that: every merchant, from a one-person stall to a nine-outlet chain, gets the full platform (POS, payments, ordering, bookings, loyalty, marketing, website and integrations) from day one.
Walk down any street in Singapore and you will see the full spectrum of commerce within a hundred metres: a hawker stall, an independent cafe, a nail salon, a growing bubble tea chain, a multi-outlet minimart. Different sizes, different industries, same reality: every one of them is running a full business.
Yet for years, business software treated them very differently.
The quiet penalty built into small business POS plans
The traditional software playbook works like this: the entry-level plan gets the basics with hard caps (limited products, a capped customer list, core POS only), while the genuinely growth-driving tools (loyalty, bookings, delivery integrations, analytics) sit behind higher tiers or paid add-ons.
We know this playbook well, because we used to run it too. Our old lineup had a $2/day plan and a $4/day plan, with some of the most useful features sold as add-ons on top.
Here is what we learned: the merchants who most needed those tools were the least likely to have them. A hawker with a capped customer list cannot build a loyalty base. A cafe without delivery integrations manually keys in GrabFood orders during the lunch rush. The system asked small businesses to earn their way to the tools that would have helped them grow in the first place.
So in 2026 we retired the tiers.
One plan. Everything. $5 a day.
Today every Qashier merchant is on the same plan: $5/day, with every module and every feature included and nothing gated. POS, payments, online and QR ordering, bookings and reservations, loyalty, marketing, reviews, your own website, GTO tracking, accounting integrations and channel connectors for food delivery and e-commerce. It covers up to 9 stores, 3 terminals, 3 HQ users and 10 staff accounts.
The principle is simple: merchants who use more of the platform grow faster, so we priced it so you never have to choose.
Here is what that looks like at three very different sizes.
The solo operator: enterprise tools without enterprise prices
Meet the one-person acai bowl stall. Under tiered pricing, she would have taken the cheapest plan and skipped loyalty, "for now."
On one full-stack plan, her QR ordering takes orders while she preps, every sale earns her regulars points automatically, and when a customer hits a milestone, a WhatsApp message with a reward goes out on its own. She did not hire a marketing person. The platform is the marketing person.
And because pricing is deducted daily from settlement rather than invoiced monthly, her software bill flexes with the rhythm of a small business: if you are trading, you are covered.
The growing chain: one brain across every outlet
Now the three-outlet cafe chain. Its problem is not features. It is fragmentation. Three tills, a booking tool, a loyalty app and two delivery tablets that all disagree with each other.
On one platform, every channel (counter, QR tables, website, GrabFood, foodpanda, Shopify) resolves to a single customer profile. The owner sees GTO across all outlets in one dashboard, staff accounts and permissions live in one place, and a campaign built once runs everywhere. Adding outlet number four means switching on a store, not procuring a new software stack.
The established operator: depth without the enterprise contract
The nine-outlet retail and F&B group has usually been told its only option is a heavyweight enterprise system with a heavyweight price and a months-long rollout.
The same $5/day plan gives it multi-store management, ingredient-level inventory, accounting integrations with the tools its finance team already uses, reviews management across locations, and the reporting to run tightly. For operators who want their own branded presence, a white-label mobile app add-on (custom iOS and Android app on your own domain, with ordering, bookings and loyalty fully integrated with the POS) starts from $299 for the first three stores.
Why "one price for everyone" is not just pricing
When every merchant has every tool from day one, something changes in how businesses grow. Growth stops being a series of software procurement decisions ("should we finally pay for loyalty?") and becomes a series of switches to flip. The stall owner who starts with POS and payments discovers bookings when she needs them, already paid for, already connected to her data.
That is the real argument for one platform at one price: not that it is cheaper (though at roughly $150/month against a $659/month DIY stack, it is), but that it removes the moment where a small business has to decide it is "not big enough yet" for the tools that would make it bigger.
Small, medium or large, you are running a whole business. You should get the whole system.
