Its three-level Organisation, Brand and Outlet structure is built for operators managing several locations or brands under one head office.
- Core POS module plus a marketplace of paid Expansion Modules (KDS, mPOS, QR ordering, and others)
- Built-in LHDN e-Invoice integration and DuitNow-ready payment support
- Real-time inventory tracking with low-stock alerts
- Multi-outlet and multi-brand reporting under one account
- Publicly listed pricing from around RM99/month for the Core Module, with individual modules from roughly RM69/month
What ROVA offers Malaysian restaurants
ROVA is a Malaysia-built ordering platform focused on getting a restaurant taking QR orders quickly, without buying POS hardware. Customers scan a dynamic, session-based QR code, order from a mobile menu, and the ticket lands on a kitchen printer or display in seconds. Everything — menu, pricing, theme colours — is managed from a web dashboard on any device.
- Browser-based ordering — no proprietary terminal or app download for staff or customers
- Dynamic QR codes that expire after each session, reducing fraudulent orders placed from outside the restaurant
- Custom-domain, white-labeled ordering pages instead of a generic provider subdomain
- Revenue-based pricing: a small monthly base fee plus a percentage of sales that decreases as your plan tier goes up
- Free menu import service and no setup fees on every plan
- E-Invoice, food pickup and table reservation are listed as upcoming features, not yet live
If your restaurant also needs a public-facing website, ROVA's web development service is built to plug into the same ordering system rather than being a separate project.

Which one should you choose?
Pick ROVA if...
You run one or two outlets, you don't want to buy or maintain POS hardware, and you'd rather pay a fee that flexes with a slow month than a flat licence regardless of sales. ROVA also suits restaurants that care about their ordering page looking like their own brand rather than a generic provider domain.
Pick Eats365 if...
You're managing multiple outlets or brands today, you need e-Invoice compliance live right now rather than on a roadmap, or your operation depends on tight inventory control and staff-level reporting across locations.
Still not sure? A free trial of ROVA's QR ordering system takes less time to set up than most vendor demo calls, so it's often faster to test than to compare on paper alone.
Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between ROVA and Eats365?
Eats365 is a modular cloud POS built around iPad hardware, with expansion modules for kitchen displays, inventory and multi-outlet management. ROVA is a browser-based QR ordering platform that runs without dedicated hardware, prices its plans as a small base fee plus a percentage of monthly revenue, and adds custom-domain, white-labeled ordering pages.
Do I need to buy an iPad or POS terminal to use ROVA?
No. ROVA runs in any browser, so staff can take orders from a phone, tablet or laptop you already own. A cloud printer is the only hardware ROVA requires for kitchen tickets. Eats365's Core Module is generally deployed on iPads, though it is hardware-agnostic in principle.
Does ROVA support Malaysia's e-Invoice (LHDN) requirement?
E-Invoice support is listed as "coming soon" on ROVA's platform roadmap and is not live yet. Eats365 currently advertises built-in LHDN e-Invoice integration as a live feature. If e-Invoice compliance is your most urgent need today, confirm the current rollout status with each vendor before deciding.
Which is cheaper for a small single-outlet café in Malaysia?
For a small stall or new café doing under roughly RM5,000 a month in revenue, ROVA's Basic plan (RM49/month plus 2.5% of revenue) generally costs less than Eats365's published starting price of around RM99/month. As revenue grows, compare the total monthly cost of each plan against your actual sales rather than the sticker price alone, since ROVA's fee scales with revenue and Eats365's modules are priced separately.
Can I switch from Eats365 to ROVA?
Yes. Switching mainly involves re-creating your menu in ROVA's dashboard and pointing your QR codes and ordering domain to the new system. ROVA offers a free menu import service on all plans to speed this up. Plan the switch around a quiet period and keep your old system active until the new one is tested end to end.
