More than 25 years innovating retail and hospitality
Yakuma was founded in 1998 with a simple belief: retailers and restaurants deserve tools that adapt to them, not the other way around.
From the earliest all-touchscreen POS systems to omnichannel dashboards and AI-driven insights, Yakuma has consistently anticipated market needs long before they became mainstream.
Today, Yakuma operates in over 20 countries, translated into seven languages, and supports some of the world's most complex tax systems.

- International franchises
