About TabeMasu

Restaurants first.
Always.

We build the platform restaurants actually need — not the one that maximizes our margin at their expense.

Our Story

Why we exist

It’s pronounced tah-beh-mahss — Japanese for ‘we eat.’

In late 2021 we sat with a restaurant owner in California who was paying $499 a month for an ordering website — nothing else. No POS. No KDS. No loyalty. No customer data. Just a website. The delivery apps were taking 30% commissions on top.

She wasn't unusual. Across thousands of small and mid-sized restaurants we saw the same pattern: fragmented tools, vendor lock-in, transaction fees on every dollar, and customer data they could never own.

The industry didn't need another POS startup. It needed someone to bundle the whole stack — ordering, POS, kitchen display, loyalty, AI — at a price restaurants already pay competitors. With zero transaction fees, on their own hardware, with their data staying in their hands.

That's TabeMasu™.

What We Believe

Principles, not pitches

Zero transaction fees

Every dollar from online orders stays with you. We charge a flat subscription — never a cut.

Your hardware, your data

Any iPad you already own runs the POS. Your customer list is yours — export it anytime, no questions.

One day to launch

Not "2 to 4 weeks." Not "implementation specialists." One day. You serve dinner the next night.

B2B, real humans

No self-serve signup, no chatbot runaround. You talk to people who understand restaurants because we built this for them.

Built on open standards

REST API, webhooks, self-hosted AI. You're never trapped in our ecosystem — integrate, export, or migrate freely.

Honest about trade-offs

If we're not the right fit, we'll say so. We'd rather lose a sale than ship a deployment we can't stand behind.
