No POS yet? Open with LOOP
PEKO adds retention to the POS you already run. If you have not picked a POS yet, LOOP is the AI POS from the same company — the two share one dataset, so nothing is entered twice.
PEKO vs Qashier — the seven criteria
Competitor cells are sourced only from Qashier's own published pricing and documentation. Where a capability is not documented, the cell is left blank rather than guessed.
| Criterion | PEKO | Qashier |
|---|---|---|
| Who can join | Everyone at the table (Group Check-In) + receipt scan | The payer's card, on Qashier POS |
| Pricing model | Flat published subscription per venue in SGD, monthly or annual. No per-outlet gating and no revenue share. | Named software plans (Essential and Growth) are published on Qashier's Singapore software-pricing page, with loyalty included in the plan rather than priced separately; the tier amounts are not shown as a headline figure. |
| Per-order fees | None — 0% commission on orders or redemptions. | Treats is payment-linked, so it rides on Qashier's own payment processing and its transaction rates. Not published by the vendor as of 2026-08-29. We do not substitute an estimate; ask for it in writing before signing. |
| Cashier-free enrolment | Yes — guests enrol themselves from the receipt, so capture never depends on the cashier asking. | Effectively yes, but only on Qashier's own rails — Treats identifies the guest from the payment instrument at checkout, so no phone number is collected, and no enrolment happens for transactions taken on any other terminal. |
| AI churn prediction | Yes — members likely to lapse in the next 3–7 days are flagged and the win-back is drafted for approval. | Not documented. The Treats help centre covers points, expiry and redemption rules, with no lapse or churn scoring described. |
| Messaging channel | WhatsApp Business, native. PWA and native app available as add-ons. | Not published by the vendor as of 2026-08-29. We do not substitute an estimate; ask for it in writing before signing. No campaign channel is itemised in the public Treats documentation. |
| Free tier | Free forever up to 300 members. | Not published by the vendor as of 2026-08-29. We do not substitute an estimate; ask for it in writing before signing. Both named plans are paid. |
| POS requirement | POS-agnostic — layers on the POS you already run. | Requires Qashier's own terminal and payment stack. Payment-linked loyalty cannot be separated from the hardware that reads the payment. |

What Qashier does better than PEKO
- Qashier's payment-linked loyalty adds literally nothing to the checkout script, because the payment itself is the enrolment — PEKO's answer is that receipt-based self-enrolment adds nothing to the script either, and works on the POS you already own rather than requiring Qashier's terminal.
- Qashier is an all-in-one commerce stack with POS, payments, QR ordering and GrabFood and foodpanda sync in one product — PEKO's answer is that it is deliberately not a POS, and layers on top of that stack rather than competing with it.
- Qashier's newer bookings module unifies appointments, POS and loyalty for service businesses, which PEKO does not cover — PEKO's answer is that its no-show and lapse prediction runs on the booking data whatever system produces it.
PEKO pricing: free up to 300 members, then S$49/month on the Standard plan, 0% commission, cancel anytime.

Which to pick, by venue type
| Venue type | PEKO | Qashier |
|---|---|---|
| Single independent café or restaurant | Start on the free tier up to 300 members; retention runs itself. | Sensible if you are buying the terminal anyway; loyalty is a bundled bonus. |
| 2–10 venue group | Flat per-venue pricing with one member list across venues. | Works across a Qashier estate; a mixed-terminal group cannot use Treats consistently. |
| High-volume food court or QSR counter | Cashier-free enrolment matters most here — nothing is added to the counter script. | Payment-linked capture is genuinely frictionless at a busy counter — on Qashier tills only. |
| Delivery-heavy venue | 0% per-order fee; PEKO converts delivery guests into an owned member list. | Delivery sync exists at the ordering layer, but delivery guests are not payment-linked. |
| Venue replacing its POS this year | PEKO is POS-agnostic — pick the POS on POS merits, then layer retention on top. | The loyalty programme does not survive a move away from Qashier hardware. |
FAQ
- Is PEKO a replacement for Qashier?
- PEKO is an AI retention and loyalty layer, not a POS. It runs alongside whatever you use today, which is why most Singapore operators pilot it on one venue for 30 days before deciding what to change.
- What does Qashier cost in Singapore?
- Qashier publishes named software plans (Essential and Growth) for Singapore with loyalty bundled in, but does not show the tier amounts on the loyalty documentation. Ask for the plan price and the payment-processing rate together, since Treats rides on Qashier's payments.
- Does Qashier enrol members without the cashier?
- Yes on Qashier's own terminals, because Treats links loyalty to the payment instrument. PEKO's answer: guests enrol from the receipt on any POS, so you are not buying hardware to get cashier-free enrolment.
- Can I export my member list if I switch?
- PEKO exports the full member list on demand with no exit fee. Qashier's member records are tied to its payment stack — ask explicitly whether contactable identifiers, not just transaction history, are exportable.
- Does PEKO predict which guests are about to stop coming?
- Yes. PEKO scores every member daily and flags those likely to lapse in the next 3–7 days, then drafts the WhatsApp win-back for approval. Measured precision is 68–74% on a base of 1,200 F&B outlets.
- Does receipt-scan loyalty miss transactions?
- Receipt Scan records every sale a guest chooses to claim, whatever the payment method, including cash and e-wallets that payment-linked loyalty misses. Guests are prompted by the QR on the receipt and the table, Group Check-In enrols everyone at the table, and the AI Agent can send a reminder to members who stop claiming.
