MinimalPOS is a free cloud restaurant POS for Malaysian F&B businesses. It handles counter, table, takeaway and QR orders, sends them to a kitchen display, and produces billing and shift reports. It records the 6% service tax that applies to F&B, and works alongside DuitNow QR and any card terminal you already use.

These are the rules that change how a bill is calculated and what a receipt has to show. Every claim carries its source and the date we last checked it.
Service tax on food and beverage preparation stayed at 6% when Malaysia's general service tax rose to 8% on 1 March 2024. F&B falls under Group B, which was explicitly excluded from the increase — so a restaurant charging 8% is over-collecting.

The service tax registration threshold for F&B operators means smaller outlets may not need to charge service tax at all. Check your rolling 12-month taxable turnover against the current Group B threshold before switching it on in your POS.

LHDN e-Invoice Phase 4 covers businesses with RM1–5 million annual turnover and became mandatory on 1 January 2026. Its six-month relaxation period ended on 30 June 2026, so those businesses are now in full enforcement.

Businesses with annual turnover below RM1,000,000 are fully exempt from the e-Invoice mandate, effective 1 January 2026 — the exemption threshold was raised from RM500,000.

Non-compliance carries a fine of RM200 to RM20,000, or imprisonment of up to six months, or both — per instance.

High-volume F&B outlets can aggregate transactions into a consolidated e-invoice rather than issuing one per bill, which is the practical route for a busy restaurant that does not collect buyer tax details at the counter.

MinimalPOS does not process payments and takes no percentage of your sales. It records whichever method was used against the bill, so your payment-mix report reflects what really happened at the counter.
DuitNow QR
Bank Negara's interoperable QR standard. One code accepts any Malaysian bank app or e-wallet, so you do not need a separate QR per wallet.
Touch 'n Go eWallet
The largest e-wallet by active users, tied to the national toll and transit system. Pays through DuitNow QR.
GrabPay
Common where the outlet also runs GrabFood.
Boost
Widely used for promotions and cashback campaigns.
ShopeePay
Strong among younger customers and ShopeeFood outlets.
FPX
Direct online bank transfer — relevant for deposits and catering invoices.
Delivery platforms
Most Malaysia outlets work with GrabFood, foodpanda, ShopeeFood. MinimalPOS does not sync orders from these platforms — you enter delivery orders under a delivery service type, and they report separately from dine-in and takeaway.
DuitNow QR transaction volume more than doubled in 2025 to three billion transactions, and 681,250 new acceptance points were added — 267,780 of them among MSMEs. QR is no longer an optional payment method for a Malaysian F&B outlet.

Turn table management off for a counter-only outlet, or QR ordering on when you want guests ordering from the table. The same order flow covers all of these.
Yes. MinimalPOS is free as a limited-time launch offer, and that includes QR ordering, the kitchen display, table management, staff roles and full report history — the parts most systems charge extra for. Loyverse also has a free core POS, but it has no native QR ordering or table management, and it bills sales history per store and staff per employee.
Food and beverage preparation is a Group B service and stayed at 6% when the general service tax rose to 8% in March 2024. If you are registered for service tax, 6% is the rate for F&B. Management services billed separately are charged at 8%. Confirm your own registration status before enabling it in any POS.
It depends on turnover. Businesses under RM1 million a year are fully exempt as of 1 January 2026. Businesses between RM1 million and RM5 million fell under Phase 4 from 1 January 2026, and their relaxation period ended on 30 June 2026 — so they are now in full enforcement, with fines of RM200 to RM20,000 per instance.
MinimalPOS records the sales, taxes, service charges and receipts a submission is built from, but it does not submit to MyInvois for you. LHDN provides the MyInvois Portal free of charge, and high-volume F&B outlets can submit a consolidated e-invoice covering many transactions instead of one per bill.
Yes, alongside them. MinimalPOS records custom payment methods, so you can log a DuitNow QR, Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost or ShopeePay payment against the bill and see the payment mix in your reports. MinimalPOS does not process the payment itself and takes no percentage of your sales — whatever you use to collect today keeps working.
Yes. Counter-first ordering, fast repeat items and takeaway are the common case, not the exception. You can run it without table management if you do not seat guests, and turn on QR ordering only if you want guests to order from the table.
No credit card required. Add your menu, your team and your tax settings, then run a shift.
