【GW x Osaka】No more waiting in line, a new experience food festival 'Smaregi presents Harapeko CIRCUS' is coming soon!

Smaregi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; Representative Director: Ryuhei Miyazaki; hereinafter "the Company"), which develops the cloud POS register "Smaregi" using tablets such as iPads, will be a special sponsor for "Smaregi presents Harapeko CIRCUS" (for 5 days from Friday, May 1, 2026, to Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park Large Lawn in Tsurumi-ku, Osaka), hosted by Mainichi Broadcasting System, Inc. (Headquarters: 17-1 Chayamachi, Kita-ku, Osaka). This event, celebrating its 5th anniversary this year, attracted over 260,000 visitors last year and has become a Golden Week tradition in Osaka. We aim to support local Kansai restaurants and achieve our mission: "Energizing stores, energizing towns!" ■ Registers, Payments, Mobile Orders, All Developed In-House At this event, our cloud POS register "Smaregi" and payment terminal "PAYGATE" will be linked to provide one-stop accounting! We will deliver a smooth purchasing experience. Furthermore, this event is a new type of food festival utilizing mobile ordering. The system has been revamped with our in-house developed system since the last event, and this year, we have further updated its functions. You can purchase products without waiting in line. From this time, mobile ordering now allows customers to check their order history across multiple stores. At this event, many customers enjoy food hopping (buying from various stores), and we received feedback that it was inconvenient to switch stores each time to check the exchange ticket number for mobile orders. This led to the implementation of this feature. By registering their email address, customers can now view their order history in a single list. ■ Cashless & Register Experience for the Whole Family! "Smaregi Shop Experience," which was also held last year, has been renewed this year as "Harapeko Okashiya-san" in collaboration with "Okashi no Department YOSHIYA"! Children can enjoy a cashless and register experience, pretending to be their favorite shop staff. Reservations are required, so please make a reservation at the venue booth if you wish to participate. ■ Comment from the Operations Manager This event was a great success last year, attracting over 260,000 visitors, the largest scale ever. This year, to make it even more exciting, we are expanding the food area, with over 60 stores scheduled to participate, the highest number ever. In addition to gourmet food, various contents such as MBS TV program collaboration stages and children's experience booths have been further enhanced. Please come and enjoy "Harapeko CIRCUS" at Tsurumi Ryokuchi this Golden Week!!! ■ About 'Harapeko CIRCUS' Event Period May 1 (Fri) - May 5 (Tue/Holiday), 2026, 9:30 - 18:30 Last order is 18:00 each day *Scheduled.
