PayNow goes straight into your own bank account — buyfood takes nothing. No subscription, no setup fee, no hardware. Upgrade to hands-free auto-confirm only if you want it.
All you need is your phone and your PayNow UEN or mobile.
3% covers payment processing (Stripe ~1.3%). Turn it on or off anytime.
Pick Free if you (or your cashier) already glance at your phone for PayNow — like you do for cash today. You keep 100% and just tap to confirm.
Pick Auto-confirm (3%) if you're slammed during lunch rush and want orders to flow to the kitchen the instant money clears — no checking, no tracking. You pay a few cents per order to never think about it.
"No expensive hardware needed. Start with your phone and a printed QR code."
Yes. On the free plan, PayNow goes straight from your customer into your own bank account — buyfood is not in the middle and takes nothing. No subscription, no setup fee, no contract. Cash is free too.
Your own bank app pings you the moment PayNow money arrives — same notification you already get today. The order shows up on your dashboard with the exact amount and a reference number to match, and you tap “PayNow received”. Takes a second.
Auto-confirm. Instead of you checking your bank and tapping each order, we confirm the payment for you and send it straight to your kitchen. Good for busy stalls that don't want to track money during a rush. You can switch it on or off anytime.
No. Just a phone — Android, iPhone, anything with a browser. No printer needed either; we can mail you a poster.
On the free plan PayNow goes directly to your registered UEN or mobile. On the 3% plan it's processed and paid out to your linked bank account. Cash always stays in your hand.
Card fees (3.4% + 50¢ per order) are brutal on hawker prices — on a $5 plate that's over a dollar. PayNow is far cheaper and instant, so we keep it simple: PayNow and cash only.
Yes. Each tenant gets their own menu and dashboard, and you see a roll-up across all stalls — on either plan. We'll come down and onboard all your tenants.
