The operating system for African restaurants.
One dashboard for the whole night — online bookings, M-Pesa deposits, WhatsApp & SMS confirmations, a live floor plan, and a kitchen display. We're building it now, and early access is open.
Built for the way
you actually run service.
Cut no-shows with M-Pesa deposits.
Guests put a deposit down at booking via STK Push — the same M-Pesa they already trust. Empty tables become committed tables, automatically.
Stop juggling WhatsApp at midnight.
A booking page guests can use without an app, plus WhatsApp and SMS confirmations and reminders that sound like a person wrote them. Your team stops being the call centre.
Floor, kitchen, payments — one screen.
No expensive POS. No installer. The dashboard, host stand, kitchen display, and bill split work on the phones and tablets your team already has.
Founder, Karamu
I work in Tokyo — a city where hospitality is an art, and the best technology stays invisible. Here, I've watched a single system connect a small neighbourhood restaurant to travellers from every corner of the world: tables that fill themselves, service that flows, revenue that grows while the owner sleeps. But every time I land in Nairobi or Addis, I see restaurants just as good — running on notebooks, WhatsApp groups, and gut feeling. Africa's food scene is world-class. The software behind it should be too. Karamu is that software — built for M-Pesa, built for WhatsApp, built for the way we actually run a Friday night.

Two months free. The founder onboards you personally — including bringing your existing bookings and guest list across. That's it.
