How Karamu works

From an empty floor plan to a full Friday night, in five steps.

The whole platform — booking page, dashboard, kitchen display, front-of-house, payments — is built around one rhythm of restaurant life. Here's the loop.

Set up
7 min · Owner

Add your tables in 7 minutes

Onboarding wizard walks you through restaurant info, floor plan, opening hours, and connecting M-Pesa. No installer. No on-site visit.

Get bookings
Day 1 · Guests

Your booking page is live

A mobile-first page with your menu, photos and live availability — at getkaramu.com/book/your-restaurant. Embed it on your site or share the link on Instagram.

Take deposits
Per booking · Guests

M-Pesa STK Push at checkout

Optional deposit on Friday and Saturday nights. Paystack pushes the prompt to the guest's phone, and the booking confirms only when they pay. No-shows drop, kitchen confidence goes up.

Run service
Every shift · Staff

Floor, kitchen, and front-of-house in sync

Hosts seat tables on a live floor plan and orders fire straight to the kitchen display. Every M-Pesa deposit reconciles against its booking automatically — no chasing receipts at the pass.
