Four main players lead the restaurant POS market in Thailand in 2026, and each is strong in a different area — Qashier stands out as an all-in-one device with payments built in and a free starter plan, which suits small to mid-sized businesses; FoodStory offers deep restaurant-specific features on iPad and connects directly to LINE MAN; Wongnai POS (part of the FoodStory group) competes on price on Android, starting at around 4,860 THB per year; StoreHub is strongest on stock and ingredient management, and keeps working offline. The table and the detail below should help you choose based on the kind of restaurant you run.

How we compared them
Before looking at each system in turn, weigh up these five things:
- Hardware format — a dedicated terminal versus an app on an iPad or Android device you already own
- Payments — built into the device, or a separate card reader you have to connect
- Restaurant-specific features — QR ordering at the table, kitchen management, recipes linked to ingredients, delivery integrations
- Multi-outlet support — it matters if you plan to expand
- Total cost and support — software + hardware + payment processing fees + after-sales service
A closer look at each system
Qashier — one device that does everything
Best For: businesses of every kind, from restaurants and cafés to small and mid-sized service businesses that want a complete system in a single device without a heavy start-up cost
Qashier is a Smart POS from Singapore that brings sales, payments (QashierPay), stock management, membership and marketing together in one device.
- Strengths: everything in a single device, quick and easy to use, and responsive Thai-language support
- Worth considering: the stock features may not go as deep as systems built specifically for retail
FoodStory — in-depth restaurant features on iPad
Best For: mid-sized to large restaurants, multi-outlet operations, franchises and cloud kitchens that need a full feature set
FoodStory is an iPad-based restaurant management system with more than 200 restaurant-specific features — table status, taking orders on staff mobiles, recipes linked to ingredients so stock is deducted and true costs are visible, a direct LINE MAN delivery integration, and a FlowAccount accounting connection. It supports multi-outlet businesses and franchises.
- Strengths: a deep and complete restaurant feature set, with direct LINE MAN and FlowAccount integrations
Wongnai POS — budget-friendly on Android
Best For: small restaurants on a tight budget that want the basics of restaurant management on Android
Wongnai POS belongs to the same group as FoodStory, runs on Android, and is positioned as the budget option. Its Full Service plan starts at around 4,860 THB per year and covers orders, stock, customer data and sales summaries across both the storefront and online.
- Strengths: clear, low entry pricing, and it runs on Android
StoreHub — built around stock management and offline working
Best For: restaurants or retailers that take stock and ingredient control seriously and need a system that does not fall over when the internet drops
StoreHub is an all-in-one system on Android and iOS, used by somewhere between 18,000 and 20,000 businesses across Southeast Asia. Its strengths are that it keeps running when the internet goes down (offline mode), a stock system that deducts by component and controls ingredients, and multi-outlet support.
- Strengths: a complete stock system, offline working, and a large user base
So which one should you choose?
- A small coffee shop or café on a tight budget → Qashier (you can start on the free plan) or Wongnai POS (clear pricing)
- A dine-in restaurant that needs deep kitchen and table features → FoodStory
- A business that wants one device that also takes payment, without a pile of extra hardware → Qashier
- A business worried about the internet dropping at peak hours, or focused on stock control → StoreHub
- A multi-outlet business or franchise → FoodStory or Qashier (Growth plan and above)
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q: Which restaurant POS system in Thailand is the cheapest?
A: It depends on what you actually need, and the real total has to include hardware and payment processing fees for every provider.
Q: What else should I look at when choosing a POS?
A: Beyond the features that fit your business, it is worth checking which provider offers after-sales service, and whether the system and its features are updated regularly, so that everything keeps running smoothly.
In summary
There is no single “best” POS, because every business needs something different. It comes down to your size, your budget and your specific requirements.
