Dinii operates a cloud-based point-of-sale and mobile ordering platform that enables restaurants to accept cashless payments, gather customer data, and run CRM and marketing features. The company monetizes through software subscription fees for its cloud POS and fees on payments processed through its Dinii Payments solution. Dinii reports roughly 3,000 restaurants on its platform and more than 20 million registered users placing orders; its penetration of Japan’s ~900,000 restaurants is about 0.5%. Founded in 2018 by Mao Yamada and Kazuki Otomo while students at the University of Tokyo, the startup has expanded operations to Tokyo and Osaka and grown headcount from 30 in 2022 to about 130. Product roadmaps include expanded financial services (invoice settlement, payroll/daily payouts, loans, insurance, asset management), employee management, reservations and delivery integrations, and proprietary data solutions for restaurants. The company plans further geographic expansion within Japan (Nagoya) and into Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand).
