LAMP Japan

What LAMP Japan does

LAMP Japan (株式会社ランプ) is a Kyoto-headquartered, venture-backed SaaS company founded in February 2017 (originally as dresscreate) that develops and operates Takeeats, a transaction-based order reception and management platform serving food retail and restaurant merchants in Japan. Takeeats enables restaurants, confectioneries, and food retailers to launch customizable order websites — accepting pre-orders and online payments for takeout — within as short as a single day, displacing phone-based analog order workflows. The product surface has expanded from its 2020 launch to include Google Business Profile and Order with Google integration, multilingual ordering, eat-in mobile ordering, self-delivery orchestration, and merchant analytics such as seasonal campaign trend analysis.

The platform is built on PHP and Python with custom proprietary components, and the company is investing in industry-tuned AI models rather than relying solely on external LLM APIs, supported by a tech lead with prior AI startup and Accenture Applied Intelligence experience. Revenue is generated via a transaction-based take-rate on merchant takeout sales, aligning LAMP's economics with merchant success. Distribution combines product-led self-service onboarding, an inside sales team for SMB and mid-market merchants, and a dedicated enterprise sales motion for large chains, with deployments at venues such as Abeno Harukas and Lazona Kawasaki Plaza food courts.

LAMP serves 3,000+ stores nationwide, with named customers including BAKE INC., LeTAO, Sarutahiko Coffee, Maisen, Vie de France, Kyobashi Sembikiya, and Ginza Sembikiya, and reports churn under 0.1%. The company has raised cumulative funding above ¥1 billion across a 2022 seed and a 2025 ¥700M Series A led by DNX Ventures and ANRI, with institutional participation from Mitsui Sumitomo Marine Capital, Crest Skill Partners, AG Capital, GLOBIS, and 90s, alongside notable individual investors. Operational presence spans a Kyoto headquarters relocated in July 2025 and a Tokyo regional office, with leadership additions of a VP of Sales (ex-McDonald's, Deloitte) and VP of CS/Bizdev (ex-Suntory) in late 2025 signaling a transition from founder-led selling to a structured sales organization.
