Dotykačka was originally exactly the kind of project Petr Menclík did not want to work on. He accepted the offer for one year, but then came EET, COVID, the repeal of the regulation, and changes in shareholders. What was meant to be a temporary assignment turned into a job he has now held for more than a decade. And he certainly does not plan to leave.

His story shows how legislation accelerated the digitalization of small businesses, why crises can activate a company, andwhat it means to run a business with full responsibility even when, formally, it is not yours. Dotykačka’s next phase of growth will be driven by acquisitions, new markets, and payment services.
