Frequently Asked Questions
Is My Restaurant Strategist better than EATS365 for first-time restaurant owners?
For the planning phase, yes. My Restaurant Strategist provides AI business plan generation, startup cost calculators in local currencies, and step-by-step pre-opening checklists that EATS365 does not offer. EATS365 excels as a modular POS system once your restaurant is open and taking orders.
Can I use My Restaurant Strategist and EATS365 together?
Yes — this is the ideal combination for full-service restaurants in Asia. Use My Restaurant Strategist for your planning and financial projections (6–18 months pre-opening), then implement EATS365 for POS, kiosks, KDS, and delivery platform integration when you open.
How does EATS365 pricing compare to My Restaurant Strategist?
EATS365 starts at SG$39/month in Singapore and RM99/month in Malaysia for core POS, but costs rise with add-on modules (KDS, kiosks, online ordering) and per-transaction gateway fees. My Restaurant Strategist is a flat US$19–79/month with no hardware or transaction fees, making it much more affordable during your pre-revenue startup phase.
Does EATS365 help with business plans or licensing in Singapore or Malaysia?
No. EATS365 is focused on POS operations — taking orders, processing payments, and kitchen management. It does not offer business plan generation, location analysis, startup cost estimation, or licensing guidance. My Restaurant Strategist covers all of these with content specific to SFA (Singapore), SSM/MOH (Malaysia), and other Southeast Asian regulatory bodies.
