What it is

Egulen POS is an iPad POS and inventory management system for the food and beverage industry, provided by Malaysia-based Egulen Systems Sdn Bhd. The product is split by business type into myKiosk, myCafe, and myRestaurant: myKiosk is designed for fast food outlets, food trucks, ice cream shops, and other businesses without table service; myCafe targets small cafés and casual dining venues with tables; and myRestaurant is built for full-service and fine-dining restaurants.

Core features

Its core functionality covers day-to-day restaurant operations: cashiering and order taking, table management, waiter-side table ordering, self-ordering, menu management, inventory and ingredient tracking, discounts, reporting dashboards, customer CRM, loyalty programs, reservations, prepaid cards/vouchers, kitchen displays, customer displays, and more. BackOffice is a web-based admin panel that supports remote management of menus, inventory, customers, staff, reports, and cash in/out. The multi-outlet feature allows users to create multiple outlets and assign managers, with data separated by outlet.

Pricing and trial

Pricing is a monthly subscription in Malaysian ringgit. MyKiosk Lite is free, with paid plans at RM79/month and RM149/month; MyCafe Lite is free, with paid plans at RM149/month and RM289/month; MyRestaurant is priced at RM319/month and RM629/month. The main differences between tiers are limits on the number of devices, number of printers, multi-outlet support, and advanced features. The website states that several paid editions can be “Try for FREE,” but does not specify the trial period.

Pros and cons

The main advantage is that the product is divided by dining scenario, which helps avoid the bloat of an all-in-one system. The free editions lower the trial cost for small merchants, while inventory, reporting, membership, and offline mode are practical for store operations. The downsides are that both the website’s last update and privacy policy show 2018, so its current maintenance status needs to be verified; third-party integration information is limited, with only Stripe clearly mentioned; and security/compliance disclosure appears to stop at the privacy-policy level, with no details on encryption, backups, or certifications.

Who it’s for and access from China

Egulen POS is better suited to small F&B shops, cafés, fast food counters, and restaurant chains in Malaysia and nearby markets, especially stores that use iPads. Access from China is unknown; since payments rely on Stripe, implementation for mainland Chinese merchants may be affected by payment acceptance, local tax invoicing, hardware compatibility, and Chinese localization. If operating in China, local alternatives such as Keruyun, 2Dfire, and Meituan POS are also worth evaluating.
