What's inside

A letter from Squall

How a waiting table sparked a smarter future for the F&B industry

Dear Feedies, welcome. We're genuinely glad you're here.

FeedMe didn't start from a whiteboard or a pitch deck. It started from a very ordinary moment — waiting at a table. Orders took too long. Food arrived wrong. The staff were exhausted, doing their best.

What we realised that day: the problem was never the people. It was the system behind them.

F&B is one of the oldest, most meaningful industries in the world. Yet behind the counter, owners and staff are still fighting daily chaos — missing inventory, unused customer data, decisions made by guesswork rather than clarity.

That's why we didn't build "just another POS." We built the system we wished had existed. We started with a fast, reliable POS — because reliability is respect for frontline workers. Then inventory. Then CRM. Then payments. Step by step, FeedMe grew alongside the businesses that trusted us.

We believe AI should not replace people in F&B. It should help them survive longer, grow stronger, work with less stress.

Our vision: Help Taste Last Forever.

No matter your role — product, tech, ops, sales, support, finance, HR — your work protects the passion of F&B owners and helps an industry we love evolve without losing its soul.

FeedMe isn't perfect. We learn fast, make mistakes, improve every day. If you believe in this vision — welcome to the team. Let's build something worth being proud of.

Squall Tan · CEO & Co-founder, FeedMe

About This Handbook

What this document is — and what it isn't

Handbook

This isn't a rulebook. It's a compass.

This handbook defines the rights, privileges, policies, and general rules that apply to all FeedMe employees. It's here to help you understand where we stand — not to tell you exactly how poorly you can perform before getting fired.

What you should know
  • The Company retains the right to make employment decisions as needed to conduct work in a manner beneficial to both employees and the Company.
  • The Company reserves the right to interpret and deviate from these policies at its own discretion whenever necessary.
  • Guidelines in this handbook are subject to change. You'll be informed of any updates accordingly.
  • For clarification on any terms, speak to HR, your manager, or your immediate reporting manager.
  • This handbook provides brief descriptions for information only. For detailed conditions and limitations, the Company's full policies and procedures shall prevail.
  • This handbook does not constitute a contract of employment and does not alter your employment terms.
Policy Compliance

You've read this. Now you're accountable for it.

Policy acknowledgement isn't optional. It's a condition of employment. By being here, you agree to comply with everything in this handbook — and with any updates the Company communicates going forward.

What compliance means
  • Review all detailed policies provided during onboarding.
  • Sign all relevant acknowledgement documents and submit them to HR.
  • When the Company updates policies, you'll be notified via email or official channels. Those updates apply to you from the moment they're communicated.
  • If you have questions about any policy, direct them to the CEO, HR, or Finance.
Compliance with Company policies is a condition of employment and an essential part of upholding FeedMe's values and operational standards.

Rules Which Are Not Really Rules

Guidelines we live by — because we trust you to be an adult

Trust

We trust you 100%. Don't blow it.

We give every Feedie a lot of trust and responsibility. We assume you're always doing your best to do the right thing — even when no one is watching. That trust is unconditional. But it's also non-negotiable. If someone violates or challenges that trust, we don't change how we treat everyone else. We just let that person go.

The official bitEmployees are required to act with integrity at all times. Breach of trust, dishonesty, or actions contrary to the Company's values and policies may result in disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination following due inquiry, in accordance with applicable employment law.
Communication

Talk to anyone. Fight if you have to. Just don't stay silent.

You have full authority to speak to anyone in the company — including King or Squall directly — to get something resolved. Debate is healthy. If you know a solution is bad, you have an obligation to say so. Silence when you know better is the same as failure.

The official bitAll employees are expected to communicate clearly, constructively, and respectfully. Communication that is abusive, threatening, or constitutes harassment is a violation of Company policy and is subject to disciplinary action.
Obligation

"No one told me" is not an answer here.

We don't accept "I don't know" or "no one told me" as an excuse. If you're unsure whether something is your job, assume it is and ask. Your #1 priority is making the product and company succeed. Ideas mean nothing without execution.

The official bitEmployees are expected to take full ownership of their responsibilities and exercise initiative. Negligence of duties, habitual failure to meet performance standards, or willful inaction are subject to disciplinary action.
Reliability

Be here when you're supposed to be here.

We don't punch cards. We don't track your exact in-out time. But we do expect you to show up and be reliable. If you can't make it, communicate with your head in advance. Traffic doesn't get stuck every Monday. Personal stuff doesn't always happen on Friday.

The official bitHabitual tardiness, habitual absence without prior approval, or leaving the workplace without authorisation constitute misconduct under Company policy. Employees absent for two (2) or more consecutive working days without approved leave may be deemed in breach of their employment contract.
Vacations

Travel at least once a year. We mean it.

Use your travel leave, use your annual leave — relax, recharge, award yourself a proper trip. Just plan ahead and tell your head in advance. Approval is not guaranteed if someone's already off on the same dates.

The official bitAnnual and travel leave entitlements are subject to management approval and operational requirements. Employees must submit leave requests in advance. Utilising outstanding leave to shorten notice periods is subject to Management approval.
Freelance

Side gigs are fine. Until they're not.

Take freelance work in your free time — we don't mind. Just don't compromise confidential information, and don't let it affect your performance here. If the side hustle starts affecting your main hustle, we'll ask you to choose.

The official bitEmployees must declare outside employment or directorship in writing to their reporting manager and HR. Employees may not work simultaneously for a competitor. Outside work that constitutes a conflict of interest or negatively impacts job performance is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Stupid Stuff

Don't do stupid stuff.

No bullying, no boycotting, no stealing, no threatening, no disclosing company, customer, or business information to outsiders. You know what stupid stuff looks like. Just don't.

The official bitThe following are classified as major misconduct and may result in immediate suspension, demotion, or dismissal following due inquiry: theft, fraud, dishonesty, bribery, physical violence, threatening behaviour, harassment (including sexual harassment), gambling on premises, possession or use of drugs/alcohol, or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information. This list is not exhaustive.
Fun

Actually enjoy coming to work.

Have fun. Try new things. Chit-chat with your colleagues. Make something silly that makes everyone laugh. We want FeedMe to be a place you genuinely look forward to coming to in the morning. That's not a slogan — it's a design goal.

The Stuff We Actually Enforce

Policies, conduct rules & when disciplinary action happens

Anti-Discrimination & Harassment

Every person here deserves to feel safe.

FeedMe has zero tolerance for harassment of any kind — verbal, written, physical, gestural, or digital — based on gender, age, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, or any other protected characteristic. This includes sexual harassment. This policy applies everywhere: the office, offsite events, work travel, work chats, and over the phone.

Sexual harassment includes
  • Threatening adverse employment action if sexual favours are not granted
  • Unwelcome physical contact, flirtations, or repeated advances
  • Sexual jokes, offensive language, or display of sexually suggestive material
  • Whistling, leering, or improper gestures
How to report Submit a written report to your immediate reporting manager, the HR Department, or any member of Management. All complaints are treated with strict confidentiality. The Company will not retaliate against good-faith reports. Disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, will be taken against anyone found guilty after due inquiry.
Code of Ethics

Be honest. Avoid conflicts of interest. Don't take what isn't yours.

All employees must act honestly and ethically at all times. If your personal interests conflict with the Company's — whether it's a side business, a financial stake in a competitor, or receiving gifts that could influence your decisions — disclose it to your reporting manager and HR immediately.

Conflicts of interest include
  • Working for a competitor, customer, or supplier simultaneously
  • Using Company property, information, or position for personal gain
  • Receiving improper gifts or benefits that could influence business decisions
  • Having a financial interest in a competitor significant enough to divide loyalty
  • Acquiring interest in property that the Company might have a stake in
Violations may result in disciplinary action up to termination, and may be referred to law enforcement where applicable.
Anti-Corruption

No bribes. No gifts to influence. Period.

We comply fully with Malaysian anti-corruption laws. No employee may offer, give, solicit, or accept any form of bribe, improper payment, or gift of value intended to influence a business decision. If you receive a request for a bribe, reject it immediately and report it to your reporting manager or HR.

Prohibited activities
  • Making, offering, or authorising payments or gifts of any kind to influence decisions
  • Facilitating improper payments through third parties or intermediaries
  • Soliciting or accepting any improper benefit in exchange for business advantage
Consequences Violations can result in significant fines, criminal liability, and termination. The Company cannot indemnify individuals who violate anti-corruption laws.
Speak Up

If you see something wrong, say something.

Report suspected violations of law, policy, or ethics — including financial irregularities — to HR or Management. You can do this directly or anonymously in writing. The Company will not retaliate against anyone who makes a good-faith report.

What to report
  • Suspected violations of laws, regulations, or Company policies
  • Financial irregularities or accounting concerns
  • Unethical conduct or safety concerns
The Company maintains records of all reported violations for five years. No form of retaliation against good-faith reporters is tolerated.

Personal Data

We handle your data responsibly. Full stop.

We collect personal data about you in the course of employment — for HR management, legal compliance, payroll, and business operations. We don't share it without reason, and we keep it only as long as necessary.

Your rights
  • Access and check your personal data held by the Company
  • Request correction of inaccurate or out-of-date data
  • Request that data is retained only as long as necessary
  • Withdraw consent (subject to legal restrictions)
Contact HR at [email protected] for any data-related requests. Keep your personal records up to date via the BrioHR system.
Onboarding

Your first day matters. So does your first month.

You'll receive an offer letter before you start. On day one, HR will walk you through the company and your contract. Your department head takes over after that — job functions, workflows, on-the-job training. The goal is for you to feel set up to succeed, not thrown in the deep end.

Orientation covers
  • Nature of the business and organisational structure
  • Terms and conditions of employment, policies, and benefits
  • Department-specific workflows and standard operating procedures
7.0 Personal Record

Keep your info up to date. It's your responsibility.

If anything changes — your address, phone number, marital status, next of kin, qualifications — update it. Don't wait to be asked. Outdated records can cause real problems, especially in emergencies.

What to update
  • Residential address and mobile number
  • Marital status and birth of child
  • Name and contact of next of kin
  • Academic qualifications and professional certifications
Update via the BrioHR system, or email HR directly at [email protected].
Probation

Six months to show us what you've got.

All new employees serve a 6-month probationary period. For the Operations Team, this is split into 3 months of structured training followed by 3 months of probation. At the end, you'll have a confirmation discussion with your reporting manager.

The official bitIf performance does not meet expectations, probation may be extended for up to 3 or 6 additional months. The Company reserves the right to terminate employment on performance grounds at any point during the probationary period. Written notification will be provided. Upon satisfactory completion, you will be formally confirmed in your role in writing.
Leaving

If you're leaving, be decent about it.

Give proper written notice to your reporting manager and HR. The notice period is in your employment contract. We want to end things well — there'll be an exit interview if you're up for it.

The official bitThe Company may terminate employment with notice or payment in lieu for serious misconduct, gross incompetence, or habitual negligence. Employees absent for 2+ consecutive working days without approved leave may be deemed in breach of contract. The Company reserves the right to deduct outstanding monies owed from final salary.
Transfer

You might move around. That's part of growing with us.

The Company reserves the right to relocate or transfer you to other departments or FeedMe companies — within or outside Malaysia — as needed. If you're interested in working from another FeedMe location, talk to your manager and HR.

When a transfer happens within MalaysiaAll terms and conditions of employment remain the same. All benefits remain the same. There is no break in employment — your previous years of service are fully recognised.
Housekeeping

Other things to know

No smoking indoors — use the designated area outside. No drugs or alcohol on premises. Keep your workstation and the pantry clean. Dress appropriately, especially when meeting clients. Don't talk to the media unless you're authorised. Report lost Company equipment to cybersecurity and HR immediately, and file a police report for stolen items. Keep the surau for prayer only. If you're the last to leave, switch off the lights and AC and make sure the door is locked.

If Company property is lost or stolen
  • Immediately notify Cybersecurity, HR, and your immediate manager
  • Obtain a police report and submit it to HR
  • All incidents involving stolen property must be reported without delay
Security Rules

Everyone is responsible for keeping this place safe.

Security isn't just the guard's job. Every Feedie is responsible for the safety of this space and the people in it. If something looks off, say something.

Rules everyone must follow
  • Access to Company property is limited to authorised personnel only — use authorised entry and exit points at all times.
  • If you're hosting a visitor, vendor, or contractor, you must escort them at all times while on premises.
  • Employees are subject to security inspection at entry and exit points.
  • You have the right — and obligation — to question anyone present on-site without visible identification.
  • Do not bring dangerous or prohibited items onto premises: weapons, hazardous substances, drugs, or anything unlawful.
  • Report theft, vandalism, sabotage, security breaches, or lost access cards/keys to HR immediately.
  • All employees must obey security rules. Managers and HODs are responsible for ensuring their teams comply. Failure to observe these rules is a serious violation subject to disciplinary action.
