Honest take

Where StoreHub is genuinely better

They've been at this longer. There are real things they do better today. If any of these matter to you more than zero commission and zero hardware, StoreHub is the right call.

BIR-accredited POS today

StoreHub is BIR-accredited today (with a ₱1,000 BIR registration assistance fee) and keeps shipping PH BIR updates. Nom does not issue BIR receipts. If you need an accredited POS for your register today, this is a real factor.

Mature recipe + inventory tracking

StoreHub deducts ingredients automatically with every sale, and its Advanced plan adds deeper inventory and stock transfer between outlets. Nom has recipe costing, cost per order, menu margins, stock items and a waste log on Pro, but no automatic stock deduction per sale yet. If live ingredient counts drive your kitchen, StoreHub is further along.

Hardware bundles on demand

If you want a touch-screen POS with a cash drawer and printer ready out of the box, StoreHub sells terminals and bundles, quoted at your demo. Nom sells no hardware: the staff app prints receipts and kitchen tickets to a Bluetooth ESC/POS thermal printer you buy yourself.

Years of operations behind them

StoreHub has been in the Philippines for years and says 20,000+ businesses across Southeast Asia use it. Its QR Order & Pay has run in PH since 2019: guests order from the table, pay now or keep an open tab (Pay Later), check out as a guest with no app, and earn Beep cashback, with orders printing straight to the kitchen. Nom is newer and still proving itself at every scale.

Where we win

Where Nom wins by design

These aren't roadmap items — they're structural choices that competitors can't reverse without rewriting their stack.

Zero hardware lock-in

Customer phones are the ordering devices, and your laptop or tablet is the back office. StoreHub quotes its POS hardware at the demo; its last public breakdown (Dec 2023) put a terminal, cash drawer and thermal printer at about ₱17.6K-21.2K per outlet, or about ₱88K-106K for 5 outlets. Nom needs no terminal at all. Running 5 branches on Nom does need the Enterprise plan (₱14,999/mo per 5-branch block).

Zero commission on payments

Nom takes no commission on any order. Customers pay you directly by GCash, Maya, QR Ph, cash or your own card terminal, and staff verify the proof screenshot plus reference number in one tap. On Pro and above, GCash can be verified automatically via HitPay (HitPay charges its own processing fee). Nom never holds the money. StoreHub's Beep Delivery online ordering, by comparison, takes 9% per transaction.

Month-to-month, no lock-in

Cancel any month. StoreHub plans run 12, 24, 36 or 60 months; Nom has no contract and no early-termination fee. New businesses also get a 14-day Pro trial at sign-up. If we're not earning our keep, you walk away.

Allergen safety first-class

Customers save a dietary profile once and can filter the menu by it in the Nom app. The kitchen sees a red allergen banner on incoming orders. Many POS systems treat allergens as a free-text note; Nom treats them as structured tags: the FDA Big 9 plus vegetarian and vegan.

Built and owned in the Philippines

GCash, Maya and QR Ph proof with reference numbers, cash, and peso-first pricing work the way PH cafes expect because the founders live here. StoreHub does ship PH work too (BIR updates, QR Ph), but it is a regional product run from Malaysia. Nom is built only for Philippine cafe and restaurant owners.
