01 · The story

The story.

The brief

Restaurants and hotel kitchens run on paper tickets, a till and a notebook for stock. Mezani puts the order, the room, the stock and the money on one calm screen a waiter can learn in a shift.

What we built

  • Order by table from a line-drawn menu, with add-ons like a double shot, straight onto the bill.
  • The dining room drawn table by table: free, reserved, eating, or asking for the bill.
  • Every way a guest pays: M-Pesa prompt, card, cash, or signed to their room.
  • KRA in quiet type: VAT 16% and the 2% catering levy worked out on every bill, to the cent.
  • Stock that counts itself down with every plate, and warns before it runs out.

Where it is now

Built and running with the rooms, front desk, housekeeping and night audit of our hotel system, so the restaurant and the rooms close the day together.

02 · The design concept

Calm on a busy night.

Greens taken from a quiet garden restaurant, with terracotta kept only for things that need you now. Dishes are drawn in a single line, so the menu reads in a glance.

Signature · The line-drawn menu

Every dish has its own drawing, so a new waiter finds Nyama Choma by its shape before they read a word.
