A StoreHub alternative for Malaysian cafes.

StoreHub is one of the best known POS brands in Malaysia, with strong F&B and retail features. This page compares it fairly with Timeo for a single cafe or small F&B outlet.

Who looks for a StoreHub alternative

StoreHub owners usually compare on cost per register and on the extras they add as they grow.

  • One register per plan. Starter from RM122, Advanced from RM235 and Pro from RM471 a month each include 1 register and 1 store; extra registers and stores are add ons.
  • Online ordering commission. StoreHub’s own online ordering states a 9% commission.
  • Longer plans for the best deal. StoreHub offers free months on longer plans (for example 14 months for 12), so the headline deal depends on committing up front.

When StoreHub is the better choice

  • You want them to migrate for you. StoreHub says its team handles migration of your menu, stock and settings. On Timeo you import yourself, or hands-on setup is quoted separately.
  • E-invoice is critical today. StoreHub states full LHDN e-Invoice compliance. Timeo’s MyInvois support is still in beta.
  • You run several outlets with dedicated registers. StoreHub is built for outlet chains with registers, stores and stock transfers as add ons.

When Timeo is the better fit

  • A single cafe on a tight budget. Timeo Basic at RM79 a month includes POS, kitchen display, tables and QR ordering.
  • No commission on your own orders. Table QR and pickup orders are part of the plan, not charged per order.
  • More than F&B. If your cafe also runs classes, workshops or a study space, Timeo takes bookings and sells packages in the same system. The console runs in English, Chinese and Thai.

Moving from StoreHub to Timeo

StoreHub’s help centre documents exporting both customers and products to CSV, which makes the move straightforward.

  1. In StoreHub, export your products with Export to CSV (large catalogues arrive by email).
  2. For retail items or a menu, open Catalog > Products and choose Import. Pick Generic CSV as the Import format, then Preview import and Apply import once the summary looks right.
  3. In StoreHub, open Customers and choose Export to CSV.
  4. In Timeo, open Customers and choose Import customers. Choose CSV file (or paste the sheet), then Preview import. Timeo matches the columns, flags rows it cannot read, and matches people you already have by email, then phone. Nothing is saved until you confirm the plan.
  5. On Advance, link drinks and dishes to their ingredients: open Catalog > Products > Recipe BOMs, choose Import preview, paste rows with recipe, target variant, component, quantity and unit, then Run preview and Apply import.
  6. Add tables under Settings > Tables and use Print all for the QR codes.

Loyalty balances, sales history and e-invoice records stay in StoreHub. Check your plan term before cancelling. If you would rather not do it yourself, our team can run the import and set up services as part of hands-on setup, which is quoted separately.
