Asli Dine is a restaurant POS that keeps taking counter payments when the internet drops: each sale is saved on the till and synced, with its official bill number, when the line comes back. Most Malaysian F&B POS plans we checked start at RM99–RM158 a month and then charge again for the kitchen display (Qashier: +RM30 a month per screen) and QR ordering (+RM60). Asli Dine includes the kitchen display, has no per-device fee, and is quoted per outlet in writing.
Every POS vendor we looked at says “works offline”. None we found publishes what that means. This is what Asli Dine does today when the till cannot reach the server — taken from the product’s code, not a brochure.
Headline prices look close. The difference is what is extra: the kitchen screen, QR ordering, more devices, and whose card terminal you must use.

Things you would pay for separately elsewhere — the kitchen screen per device, a QR module, extra device licences, a payment-terminal bundle — are part of one per-outlet quote.
Dine-in, takeaway and delivery, split bills, discounts and shift cash summaries. Counter sales keep going when the internet doesn’t.
Orders flow to the kitchen screen by station, with preparation timing. No monthly fee per screen.
A live floor plan with running orders, seat-level ordering and QR ordering at the table.
Runs on one always-on Windows PC per branch: finds your printers, pairs with a one-time code, and prints receipts, station-split kitchen tickets and labels.
Stock set aside when an order is taken, used when it is cooked, released if it is cancelled.
No commission on orders, no card-terminal lock-in, a written quote per outlet, and set-up and support from MLV Empire in Malaysia.

Yes, for counter sales. On a till that has opened the POS before, you can ring up takeaway, delivery and pay-at-counter orders and take payment with no internet. Each sale is saved on that till and synced automatically when the connection returns, oldest first.
The kitchen display, printed kitchen tickets and receipts from the print agent, dine-in “send to kitchen”, settling a table tab, and QR ordering at the table all need the connection. Offline sales reach the kitchen screen, the printers and the reports when they sync. During an outage, ring orders up as counter sales and tell the kitchen by hand.
An offline sale gets a provisional bill with no official number. The server gives out official bill numbers in sequence when the sale syncs, and the till shows you the numbers it was given so you can reprint proper bills. This is deliberate: two tills inventing numbers offline would create duplicates or gaps.
No. Every sale carries a unique key. If the till retries after a dropped connection, the server returns the original order instead of creating a second one, so there is no double charge, double kitchen ticket or double stock deduction.
No. The kitchen display is included in an Asli Dine outlet quote, and there is no per-device fee for extra tills or kitchen screens. Elsewhere it is often an add-on: Qashier lists KDS at +RM30 a month per device, and Eats365 lists modules such as KDS and QR ordering from RM69 a month each.
Asli Dine is quoted per outlet, in writing, before you commit, in ringgit and invoiced by MLV Empire. SST is added where it applies. We do not publish a price; ask for a quote or write to hello@mlvempire.my.
