Software for your restaurant, takeaway or café.

Take orders, print the bill, run your staff, keep your hygiene diary. Your customers order from a QR code, on WhatsApp or with a free account, and we don't take a cut of your sales.

Start on WhatsApp

Free. No card needed.

Why is it free?

💼

Paid for by our other software

Mekavo also makes software for workshops, fleets, taxis and parking, and those businesses pay for it. That is why your restaurant pays nothing.

💷

We take nothing from your sales

Not a percentage, not a fee per order, not a charge per customer. You get paid the way you already get paid — cash, card, or however your customers pay you today.

🤝

Your customers stay yours

We never sell your data and we never stand between you and your customers. Their orders and their contact details come to you.

🌍 The same software already runs businesses in 73 countries.

How it works

1

Put your menu in

Photograph the menu you already have, or type it. Sections, prices, and options like a large size or extra cheese, each with its own price.

2

Put a code on the table

Print a code for every table yourself, or send the ready-made files to a print shop. A takeaway puts one on the counter instead.

3

They order from their phone

Your customer scans, reads the menu with photos and allergens, and sends the order on WhatsApp. No app, no account.

4

The kitchen sees it at once

The order lands on your kitchen board with the allergens on the ticket. Cook it, serve it, settle the bill.

🔥 During service

Every order in one place, from the table, the counter or the phone.

  • A kitchen board

    Every order in one place: not sent yet, cooking, ready, gone. A timer shows how long each one has been waiting.

  • Take orders at the counter

    A waiter can take an order by hand too. A table that orders three times still gets just one bill at the end.

  • Scan a customer's code

    A customer shows the order code on their phone. You scan it, or type it, and it goes to the kitchen.

  • Pause new orders

    Too busy? Stop new orders for 30 minutes, or until you are ready again, with one tap.

  • Your tables

    Name your tables, group them by area, and see at a glance which ones are sitting down.

  • Staff with their own login

    Your team can take orders and fill in the diary without seeing your takings, your prices or your settings.

🛵 Delivery with your own people

The riders you already trust, on your terms, and no commission on the order.

  • Your own riders, your own rules

    Invite the riders you trust and set your delivery fee, free delivery above an amount, your smallest order and how far you go. Every drop has a hand-over code; alcohol only after an ID check.

  • Your customer sees the rider coming

    The customer follows the order and the rider on the way, and your kitchen sees where each delivery is.

  • Paying your riders, simply

    Set how each rider is paid: per drop, hourly or per shift. At the end, one settle-up with cash held, pay and tips, and a weekly statement for each rider.

  • Order ahead for pick-up

    Customers choose a time to collect. Only the times your kitchen can make are offered, from your own opening hours.

💷 Getting paid, and knowing your numbers

Every sale recorded the moment it happens, and the money goes straight to you.

  • The day at a glance

    What you sold and how it was paid, cash, card or other, for today or any day.

  • Your week in numbers

    The last seven days, your best sellers, and where your orders come from: tables, counter, phone or delivery.

  • Tax done your country's way

    Each dish carries its own rate for food, drink or alcohol, inside the price or added on top, plus a service charge or a local fee if you have one.

  • Your details on every bill

    Your business name, tax number and company number print on the bill, straight from your settings.

  • Print on your own printer

    Bills and tickets on a receipt printer (80 mm) or on A4.

🔁 Customers who come back

Your own page, your own regulars and your own offers.

  • Your own restaurant website

    Your menu, prices, hours and photos on a page of your own, ready for Google. Keep our address, or connect a domain you already own.

  • Your own domain

    Already own yourrestaurant.com? Connect it for free and your page opens there, with the secure padlock included, and your email is not touched. No domain yet? Buy one wherever you like, or buy it from us inside Mekavo as a paid yearly service.

  • Your Google reviews, on your page

    Switch them on and the reviews Google already has appear on your page, in each visitor's language. We never write or change a review.

  • Table bookings

    Customers book a table from your page, only at times you are open. You confirm each one, and Mekavo does not charge per booking.

  • Their own food account

    Customers can sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook: their orders, bookings and "order again" in one place, with no app to download.

  • "Your last order here"

    A regular sees what they had last time and orders it again with one tap. It stays on their phone, or in their own Mekavo account if they sign in.

  • Your own offer and stamp card

    "Spend 20, get 10% off", or the next order free after five. You set it, you pay for it, and it is yours.

  • Ratings from people who ate

    After the meal, a customer taps 👍 or 👎 on each dish. Your menu shows the score, from real orders only.

  • Bring your customers with you

    A poster for your counter, cards for every bag, and a ready WhatsApp message you send from your own phone.

Questions owners ask

Why is it free? What is the catch?

There is no catch. Mekavo also makes software for workshops, fleets and parking, and those businesses pay for it, so restaurants use it free today. We don't take a percentage of your sales, and we never sell your data. If that ever changes, we will tell you well ahead of time.

What does it cost?

Nothing to start, and today we take no cut of your sales. If you later want paid extras, they are priced openly and you will never be charged for something without being told first.

Do I need a card machine?

No. Most of the food businesses we work with take cash, and that is fine. We record what you were paid and how; the money goes straight to you, never through us.

Do my customers need an app?

No. They scan the code and WhatsApp opens — the app they already use every day. There is nothing for them to download and nothing to sign up for.

Does this work in Guyana?

Yes. Mekavo works in Guyana in your own language and your own currency, and you can start today without talking to anybody.

What if my customer does not use WhatsApp?

They choose from the same menu and show the order to a member of staff instead. Nobody is left out.

Does it work for a takeaway or a food van?

Yes. You do not need tables at all. Customers can order to collect, or for delivery if you deliver.

Can my staff see how much we took today?

No. Each person gets their own login. Staff can take orders and fill in the diary; the takings, the prices and the settings stay with you.

How do I show allergens?

You mark them on each dish, or you tell customers to ask you. You choose. Whatever you mark is shown on the menu and on the kitchen ticket.
