Klikit vs Smaregi: Why APAC-Expanding Restaurants Choose Klikit
Smaregi is the undisputed leader in Japan's restaurant POS market. But for F&B businesses expanding beyond Japan, there's a critical gap—Smaregi's strength is also its limitation. Here's how Klikit fills that gap.
Smaregi: Japan's Market Leader
Smaregi dominates Japanese F&B with heavy comparison SEO against AirREGI (Recruit) and deep local integrations. For Japan-only operators, it's a solid choice.
Smaregi's Limitation: Japan-only focus. No Singapore. No Malaysia. No Indonesia. If you expand beyond Japan, you need a second (or third) POS system.
Klikit: Built for APAC Expansion
Klikit operates across 5 APAC countries—Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Japan. One platform, unified reporting, real-time sync across borders.
The Multi-Location Advantage: Run 10 locations in 3 countries from one dashboard. Smaregi can't do this.
