Tulindo

Features

Every part of the business, on one system.

Eight parts that share one menu, one stock count and one set of numbers. Every picture below is Tulindo itself, running a café and a shop in Nairobi.

Till

  • Ring up a sale from tiles or a barcode, with modifiers, notes and discounts a manager approves.
  • Hold a bill by name and pick it up again from any till in the branch.
  • Count the drawer blind at the end of a shift; the variance is worked out for you.

Waiter handheld

  • Take the order at the table, by seat and by course, and send it to the kitchen from the phone.
  • See which tables are waiting, which have food ready and which asked for the bill.
  • Split the bill three ways and take each share by M-Pesa or cash.

Kitchen display

  • Tickets arrive at the right station the moment the waiter sends them.
  • Bump a course when it is ready and the waiter sees it on their phone.
  • Read at two metres, in the dark of a pass, with nothing moving on screen.

Back office and stock

  • Keep the menu, prices and recipes in one place for every branch.
  • Receive deliveries, move stock between stores and count it, with every change kept.
  • See what is running low before the evening rush, not after.

Reports

  • Sales by day, by item, by waiter and by branch, ready the moment the shift closes.
  • Profit by item from the recipe cost, not a guess.
  • Download any report for your accountant.

Owner app

  • Today's takings across every branch, live, on your phone.
  • An alert when a till is out of balance or a device goes quiet.
  • Approve a discount or a stock count from wherever you are.

M-Pesa and card

  • The till asks the guest's phone for the amount, and the payment lands on the bill.
  • A payment that arrives on its own is matched to its bill, or shown to you to match.
  • Card machines on Business and Enterprise.
