Nairobi, Lagos, Dar es Salaam, Accra, Addis Ababa — the restaurant boom across Africa is real. The software built for it has not existed. Until now: works without a POS, runs on a phone, priced for independent owners.
Almost every inventory tool on the market was built for a different world: $199–799 monthly subscriptions that cost more than a kitchen staff member's salary, implementation fees of thousands of dollars, POS integrations that assume systems most African restaurants don't own, and support teams in time zones that don't answer WhatsApp.
Meanwhile, African operators face some of the hardest cost pressures on the planet: imported ingredients with volatile prices, power and cold-chain interruptions that multiply waste, cash-handling realities, and supplier relationships where prices change without invoices. The invisible leak is often larger here — not smaller.
RestoIQ is designed for this reality from day one.
No POS required. Count stock, log waste, and track costs from any phone. Works with paper receipts, handwritten supplier notes, and whatever system you already use.
Data-light. Designed to run smoothly on mobile connections. Every report fits on a phone screen.
WhatsApp-first support. In African business, WhatsApp is business. Talk to the founder directly — no ticket queues, no email-only policies.
Priced for independence. $49/month with no setup fee, no contract, and a 14-day free trial that needs no credit card. Cancel with one message.
Supplier-fraud protection that matters here. Where prices shift weekly and invoices are handwritten, automatic price tracking against your agreed rates is the single most valuable feature in the product.
A restaurant spending $6,000/month on food typically loses ~7% of it invisibly.
In markets where that $5,000 represents a staff salary, a new fridge, or the difference between profit and loss, seeing it clearly changes everything.
The backbone of African dining. One kitchen, one owner, one phone — and finally, real numbers.
Delivery-first kitchens live and die on food cost. Recipe costing and waste tracking are your margin.
Growing from 2 to 10 outlets? Compare branches, standardize recipes, control from one dashboard.
Guest-house and resort kitchens deserve the same audit discipline as their urban counterparts.
Free 14 days. No credit card. No POS needed. Setup in 30 minutes from your phone.
