Nyama Wheels

Kevin Mureithi, Owner · Mobile — Nairobi

Queue halved with M-Pesa STK

The challenge

Kevin's truck moved between office parks and event grounds, many with poor mobile coverage. Payment meant reading out a till number and waiting for customers to type it, so a lunch rush queue of 15 could take 40 minutes and people gave up and left.

What SawaPOS changed

SawaPOS runs offline-first on Kevin's phone, queueing sales through dead zones and syncing automatically on reconnect. M-Pesa STK Push sends the payment prompt straight to the customer's handset — they confirm with a PIN and the sale closes. Menu items toggle on and off per location, and a live dashboard shows margin per stop.

Measured results

  • Lunch queue time roughly halved
  • Trading continues uninterrupted in low-coverage locations
  • Abandoned queues effectively eliminated
  • Margin by location now guides where the truck parks

“STK Push cut the line in half, and the truck keeps selling in dead zones. The dashboard even tells me which corner is worth parking on.”

— Kevin Mureithi, Owner, Nyama Wheels

Coastal Bites Truck

Hassan Juma, Owner · Mobile — Mombasa

Menu set up from a phone in one evening

The challenge

Hassan had no laptop and no fixed premises, which ruled out the POS systems he had looked at. He tracked sales on a notepad and genuinely did not know whether his best-selling item was profitable.

What SawaPOS changed

SawaPOS was set up entirely from Hassan's phone in a single evening — menu, prices and costs. Specials toggle daily depending on what he has sourced, and the profit dashboard shows margin and best-sellers per service.

Measured results

  • Full setup completed on a phone, no laptop required
  • Profit per menu item visible for the first time
  • Two loss-making items repriced immediately
  • Daily specials managed in seconds between stops

“I set the whole thing up on my phone in one evening. Two days later I found out which item was losing me money.”

— Hassan Juma, Owner, Coastal Bites Truck
