Wondering how Yakuma compares to other POS solutions?
See Yakuma vs Competitors ComparisonWhy leading retailers never use generic POS systems
Generic POS platforms are not bad products. Toast, Square, Clover, and similar systems are excellent tools for local decision-making and standardized operations.
But standard tools produce standard behavior.
Differentiation disappears when:
• Everyone runs the same workflows
• Campaigns are predefined by the vendor
• Custom logic is forbidden or prohibitively expensive
You cannot out-execute competitors using the exact same tools.
This is why leading retailers don't rely on generic POS systems.
Global brands like Starbucks, McDonald's, Zara, or Tim Hortons operate on highly specialized POS platforms designed around their operating model — not the vendor's roadmap.
This difference is often misunderstood as a matter of size. It is not.
It is about intent, operating philosophy, and how seriously the POS is treated as a growth engine.
A chain is not a bigger store.
It is a different system.
Single store operator
- • Makes decisions locally
- • Knows staff personally
- • Adjusts prices manually
- • Fixes issues by being present
- • Treats the POS as a tool to save costs
Multi-location operator
- • Manages consistency, not presence
- • Hires managers, not baristas
- • Enforces rules centrally across locations
- • Cannot "just go to the store" to fix issues
- • Treats the POS as a critical execution layer for growth
Yakuma is not a generic POS. Yakuma is built for a different category of business.
Enterprise POS Fundamentals
Not features. Requirements.
If your current POS cannot do these things, it is not built for enterprise operations.
Do I need to throw away my existing POS terminals to move ahead with Yakuma?
No. Yakuma is designed to preserve your hardware investment. If a terminal runs Windows and meets minimal specs, it can run Yakuma. Some customers still run terminals from Windows 2000 era.
How does Yakuma protect my technology investment and avoid vendor lock-in?
Yakuma ensures your organization never depends on a vendor. Source code escrow, hardware freedom, payment processor choice, and integration flexibility are architectural decisions, not contractual promises.
These are not edge cases. They define whether a POS is enterprise-grade or not.
