Best POS for a Bakery in Singapore (Compared)
A bakery counter moves fast and changes all day — trays sell out, fresh batches come out, and the queue never really stops on a good morning. Here's an honest comparison of POS options for a bakery in Singapore. (The fundamentals from our café POS comparison apply here too.)
What a bakery counter needs most
- Fast multi-item checkout — three toasts, two croissants and a coffee, rung up in seconds.
- Sold-out control — hide an item the moment the tray's gone.
- A visible menu — so customers choose before the case is picked over.
- PayNow + clean records — low fees and GST-ready.

| StoreHub | Bakery plus packaged-goods retail, or several outlets | Tiered plans |

Fast checkout, simple buttons
Bakery baskets are often many small items. A clean iPad POS with clear product buttons lets staff ring that up in seconds, even when the counter is three-deep. Speed at the till is the whole game.
Mark items sold out in a tap
Nothing frustrates a customer like ordering something that ran out two trays ago. From any browser — even your phone — mark an item sold out or change a price, and both your POS and QR menu update instantly.
Show your display case digitally
A QR menu lets customers browse your full range with photos before they reach the counter — handy when the queue is long or the case is picked over. It pulls straight from your POS, so it's always current.
Keep the kitchen in sync, and bring regulars back
If you take pickup or online orders, a live order board keeps back-of-house in step with the counter. And bakeries thrive on habit, so built-in stamp rewards reward regulars automatically — it's how a café like Wai Cafe keeps them coming back.
So which should a bakery pick?
- Busy counter, watching cost → a simple iPad POS like Shopways — fast buttons, sold-out control, PayNow.
- Want one all-in-one device → Qashier or StoreHub.
- Market stall or pop-up bake → Square.
