StoreHub vs FeedMe vs Aurago for Hotpot Restaurants

A hotpot table is hard work for a POS. It orders a split pot with two soup bases, keeps adding plates for two hours, asks for the bill, then wants it split four ways. The kitchen needs every round the moment it's ordered, and the counter needs to know which tables are still eating.

StoreHub has compared itself with FeedMe for hotpot restaurants. This guide adds Aurago and compares all three on the jobs a hotpot restaurant actually does. Aurago wrote it, so every figure about StoreHub and FeedMe links to where we read it, on 25 September 2026.

What a hotpot restaurant needs from a POS

• Soup bases as required choices, each with its price, and room for two in a split pot
• Rounds of add-ons that reach the kitchen and the bill at the same time
• QR ordering at the table, so guests add plates without waving for a waiter
• A kitchen display, or tickets at the right station
• Pay after, and split bills, because the bill opens when the table sits down
• Service charge and SST on every bill
• Stock that tracks meat and seafood, which are expensive to lose
• Attendance and payroll for a large floor team working in shifts

How the three compare

Which one suits which hotpot restaurant

A busy outlet with a lot of delivery and takeaway. StoreHub's Beep and QR Order & Pay, or FeedMe's delivery integration and order display, are built for that traffic. Aurago has no delivery integration.

A chain that wants one supplier for the hardware. FeedMe's Premium plan pairs with its own POS terminals, kitchen and order screens and payment terminal.

An owner who wants the floor, the kitchen, the books and the payroll in one place. After rent, a hotpot restaurant's biggest costs are ingredients and people. Aurago keeps both on the same records as the till: give a plate a recipe and each sale deducts the ingredients it used, the day's takings post to the ledger, and the pay run comes from the same clock-ins.

Setting up a hotpot menu in Aurago

1. Soup bases. Make one required choice group — "Soup base: pick 1" — with a price on each broth. For a split pot, allow two picks.
2. Spice level. A second group, with no prices.
3. Plates. Put meat, seafood, balls and vegetables in their own sections. Give plates a recipe and each sale deducts the grams it used; extras inside a dish, like one more egg, can be picked more than once.
4. Table QR. Switch on table ordering and decide whether a code stops working when the table is cleared (the default) or stays valid.
5. Kitchen stations. Send broths to the soup station, raw plates to the cold kitchen and drinks to the bar — on the kitchen display, or on each station's printer.
6. Service charge and SST. Turn on the service charge (10% on the restaurant setup) and your SST rate.
7. Closing the table. Guests pay after; split the bill by line if they ask. Paying doesn't free the table — clearing it does — so a party having dessert after the bill keeps its seats.

The bottom line

All three will run a hotpot floor: QR ordering at the table, a kitchen display and bills that split. Choose StoreHub or FeedMe if delivery and dedicated hardware matter most. Choose Aurago if you want the till, the stock, the books and the payroll to be one system. For a closer look at each, read Aurago vs FeedMe and Aurago vs StoreHub.
