Questions
Is SME AI Office cheaper than FoodZaps in Singapore?
For most cafés, yes. Both have a free plan. FoodZaps charges US$39.90 a month for Full Course with a kitchen display and inventory, and US$139.90 a month for Carnival with online ordering. SME AI Office includes the kitchen display, recipes, table QR and an ordering website free, with a small 0.5% fee only on card and automatic PayNow payments.
What does the FoodZaps free plan include compared with SME AI Office Free?
FoodZaps Snack is free with eMenu, ordering, quick order, billing and receipts. SME AI Office Free adds a kitchen display, table QR ordering, an ordering website with pickup and delivery, table bookings, recipes with food cost, and sales in your profit and loss, with no cap on sales.
Does SME AI Office work without internet like FoodZaps?
No. SME AI Office runs in the browser, so the POS needs an internet connection to complete a sale, though a half-finished cart stays on the device. FoodZaps says its POS works without internet, which suits a hawker stall or a spot with a weak connection.
What is a Singapore alternative to FoodZaps with online ordering included?
SME AI Office. Its Free plan includes your own ordering website with pickup and delivery, table QR ordering and a kitchen display, with no monthly fee and no commission. Customers pay by a free PayNow QR, or by card through your own Stripe account for 0.5%.
