01 — The problem

Food businesses run on systems that don't talk to each other.

An order arrives in one app. The kitchen plans from memory. Stock is bought over the phone. Payments settle somewhere else. Each system holds part of the picture, and nobody holds all of it.

  • 01Customer demand
  • 02Ordering
  • 03Kitchen operations
  • 04Sales
  • 05Procurement
  • 06Payments
  • 07Fulfillment
  • 08Data

Eight parts of one food business.

Usually eight separate vendors, logins and spreadsheets.

02 — Our approach

We don't build one giant application. We build focused products that understand each other.

01

Focused products

Each product solves one part of the food business exceptionally well, and is worth using on its own.

02

Shared context

When products connect, they share the signals that matter — demand, sales, stock, money — and nothing more.

03

Interoperability over lock-in

Use one product or several. Keep the tools you already rely on. Intelligence should lead to action, not dependence.

03 — Available today

Two products, each built to stand on its own.

This page explains where they fit. Features, pricing and demos live on each product's own site.

04 — How the stack connects

One loop. Every layer makes the next one smarter.

Demand becomes a plan. The plan becomes a purchase, a sale, a delivery and a settlement. Then the outcome flows back as data — and the next decision is better than the last.

01DemandAvailable

Customers discover restaurants, browse menus and place orders. Every search and every order is a signal of what people want, where and when.

  • Search
  • Discovery
  • Orders
  • Offers
  • Consumer behaviour
02IntelligenceAvailable

Sales and demand signals become forecasts, prep plans and margin decisions — so the kitchen prepares the right amount before service starts.

  • Sales signals
  • Forecasting
  • Prep planning
  • Waste
  • Margin
03SourcingFuture capability

Forecast need becomes a list of required ingredients, then a purchase with suppliers — without the phone calls and guesswork.

  • Forecast need
  • Required ingredients
  • Procurement
  • Supplier fulfilment
04TransactionsFuture capability

The point of sale becomes a direct source of transaction truth, feeding the rest of the stack in real time.

  • Point of sale
  • Tickets
  • Menu pricing
  • Transaction record
05FulfillmentFuture capability

Completed orders reach customers reliably, with every handover visible to the restaurant.

  • Dispatch
  • Riders
  • Tracking
  • Handover
06PaymentsFuture capability

Payments, commissions and restaurant settlement across the mixed ways people actually pay — cards, cash and mobile money.

  • Mobile money
  • Cards
  • Commissions
  • Settlement

We're clear about direction, and honest about status. These layers are future capabilities, not products you can buy today.

Useful alone. Better together.

A restaurant never needs the whole ecosystem to use one product. Start with what solves today's problem. Connect more when it helps.

PrepOrder on its own

Reach customers and take orders. No kitchen system required.

Connected

Tomorrow's orders inform today's prep. Demand reaches the kitchen before the rush does.

PrepIQ on its own

Works from your own sales data. No marketplace required.

05 — Where we start

Built from Africa. Designed beyond it.

We build in markets where food businesses work around real constraints every day. Designing for those realities makes technology that holds up anywhere.

Fragmented infrastructure
Tools rarely share data
Mixed payment systems
Cash, cards and mobile money
Difficult POS integrations
Closed or local systems
Fast-changing demand
Habits shift month to month

Africa is the origin and proving ground — not the ceiling.

Our mission

To connect the systems behind how food is discovered, prepared, sold, sourced, paid for and fulfilled.
