About Me
My Story
I build business communities first, then the tools that help them grow — with a restaurant to prove it works.
Introduction
Community builder. Connector. Sabahan.
I'm Chea Hoong Tak, born and raised in Sabah. My work starts with people. As BNI Sabah Region Head I build business communities across the state — BNI Supreme, BNI Jesselton and BNI Excel — supporting chapter leaders, developing members and helping referrals flow between owners who learn to trust each other. My goal has always been simple: help local businesses grow, and grow together with them.
The second layer is technology. Once business owners trust each other, the next question is usually how to grow the business itself — which is why I founded KK POS System & Hardware, digitalising more than 3,000 F&B businesses across Sabah with POS systems and digital tools they can actually get support for.
The third is proof. Tamar Rindu, our halal seafood restaurant in Inanam, is where I test the ideas I share with members on my own money and in my own kitchen. EV charging is the next horizon I'm building for Sabah.

KK POS System & Hardware is Born
I noticed local F&B owners struggling with slow tills, lost kitchen orders and expensive systems with nobody nearby to fix them. So I founded KK POS System & Hardware, bringing quality POS hardware to Sabah at a reasonable price, paired with an integrated F&B system.
