Pricing for an operating partner — not a POS license.
Yakuma is not a "nice-looking POS" with add-ons. We become part of your business. Either as your IT and marketing department, or working side by side with the teams you already have.
Our clients don't buy software.
They delegate execution.
Yakuma takes responsibility for the technical, operational, and growth infrastructure required to run and scale a multi-location business — across countries, regulations, and channels. One monthly fee per location. Unlimited users. Unlimited devices. No per-user licenses. No per-terminal fees. No hidden costs.
Why this pricing model exists in real businesses
A business owner runs a coffee shop. Opens a restaurant under the same ownership. Later adds a corner inside a gym, a location inside a hotel, a store in a mall, and a location inside an airport.
These are legally separate entities. Taxes, fiscal rules, commissions, and reporting are different. But the owner, brand vision, and customers are the same.
Traditional POS systems force the owner to:
- — Duplicate customer databases
- — Fragment loyalty programs
- — Split online channels
- — Rebuild integrations every time
- — Or worse: adapt the business model to what the POS allows
Growth fails not because the business idea is wrong, but because the technology cannot execute it.
Technology must execute the vision — not limit it
Owners and CEOs think in business models, not software stacks. They ask questions that POS vendors cannot answer:
How do I share customers across brands but keep accounting separate?
How do I run a franchise model if my POS doesn't support franchising?
How do I open inside an airport if my POS can't interface with airport systems?
How do I launch a campaign next month if my POS vendor needs six approvals?
If the POS does not support the idea, the idea dies — or gets watered down.
How Yakuma works in practice
Small but ambitious operators
For smaller operators with a growth mindset, Yakuma acts as the full technology and growth stack: IT, POS, integrations, marketing tooling, operational workflows, and ongoing support.
These companies do not have IT departments. They are constantly approached by agencies pushing WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, or Magento — vendors who optimize for their tools, not the client's growth. Yakuma acts as the internal IT and execution team that these companies cannot realistically build. If Shopify is the right tool, Yakuma integrates Shopify. If Magento is right, Yakuma integrates Magento. If another POS works better in one location, Yakuma integrates that POS.
You focus on the business. We handle everything else.
Mid-sized chains
For mid-sized chains, Yakuma works alongside existing IT, marketing, and operations teams. We integrate with what already exists, fill the gaps, and gradually step back as internal capabilities mature.
Most mid-sized chains cannot justify a full internal IT department. They lose hundreds of hours coordinating POS vendors, web agencies, marketing platforms, and ERP consultants. Yakuma removes coordination cost, not just software cost.
No friction. No turf wars. No forced dependencies.
Large and enterprise clients
For large organizations, Yakuma offloads the most time-consuming and failure-prone work: integrations, maintenance, deployments, migrations, and operational tooling.
The real pain at scale is not technology — it is execution speed. Campaign approvals that take months. No clear owner inside the POS vendor. Endless escalations. Execution speed is not a "nice to have" at scale. It determines revenue.
Your teams focus on strategy. We handle execution.
Built for multi-country operations — without chaos
Yakuma maintains commercial agreements with specialized agencies in each sector — media, marketing, and technical support — in every country where we operate.
When a client expands into a new country, we either activate an existing local network or establish one.
This allows our clients to grow internationally without rebuilding their operational stack, renegotiating vendors, or managing fragmented suppliers.
Logistics, compliance, integrations, and operational tooling are handled centrally. Growth does not increase complexity.
One monthly fee per location. One accountable team.
Yakuma operates on a simple rule: one monthly fee per store.
That fee includes:
- — The POS platform and execution layer
- — Unlimited users — every employee, every shift
- — Unlimited devices per location
- — Integrations and custom development
- — Ongoing maintenance and evolution
- — Direct access to the people responsible for your system
A store with 10 staff is not inherently more profitable than one with 8. Charging per user penalizes efficient operations. Charging per terminal penalizes high-throughput locations.
Charging per user or per terminal is a tax on operations, not a reflection of value.
No per-terminal pricing. No per-user licenses. No per-module traps. No artificial limits.
No ticket ping-pong. No endless departments.
Every Yakuma client is assigned:
A single point of contact who knows your business, your setup, and your priorities.
Reachable directly — including WhatsApp or mobile when needed. No generic helpdesks. No 10-person email threads. No repeating the same explanation over and over again.
We've lived the alternative — even with the largest vendors — and we deliberately chose not to operate that way.
Why this model exists
We have seen enterprises require multiple consultants just to reorganize a menu or change operational logic in "enterprise" POS systems.
That friction is not accidental. It is the business model.
Yakuma was built by people who operated real retail and hospitality businesses — and refused to accept that model.
Custom apps and websites are handled differently — intentionally
Brand-owned mobile apps and websites are fully customized, published under your brand, and owned by you.
Instead of upfront project fees, this work is amortized over 12–24 months as a small per-location increment.
No upfront payments. No capital expenditure. No growth friction.
One fee. One accountable partner.
The fee exists because Yakuma assumes execution responsibility.
Not just uptime. Not just features. But outcomes.
