Everything your restaurant needs at service
From table management to kitchen printing, sell.ke covers the workflows your team depends on during every service.
Table & order management
Assign orders to tables, split bills between guests, and track open tabs — all from the same screen your cashier uses for walk-in orders.
Kitchen order workflow
Orders print directly to the kitchen or kitchen display screen the moment they are placed. No more shouted orders or lost tickets.
M-Pesa, card & cash checkout
Accept Lipa na M-Pesa, Visa/Mastercard, and cash at the table or counter. M-Pesa confirmation appears on the POS in under 5 seconds.
Takeaway & delivery orders
Manage dine-in, takeaway, and delivery from a single order queue. Tag orders by type so kitchen staff know what to prioritise.
Menu & modifier management
Set up categories, modifiers (size, extras, spice level), and daily specials that staff can select quickly during a busy service.
Shift & waiter performance reports
See revenue by shift, average order value per waiter, and void rates. End-of-day close-out takes 2 minutes, not 20.
KRA eTIMS receipts
Every meal ticket generates a KRA-compliant tax receipt automatically — required for VAT-registered restaurants in Kenya.
Offline mode
Power cut or internet drop? sell.ke keeps running. All orders save locally and sync when connectivity is restored.
Why Kenyan restaurants choose sell.ke
Most restaurant POS software is designed for Western markets where card payments dominate. In Kenya, M-Pesa is how the majority of customers pay — and it needs to work without a separate Till device and without the waiter having to check a text message before confirming the order is paid.
sell.ke's M-Pesa integration means confirmation arrives directly on the POS screen in under 5 seconds. The waiter sees it, the table is cleared for the next guest, and the cash reconciliation at the end of the shift is automatic.
KRA eTIMS compliance is built in for every restaurant receipt — critical for restaurants that supply corporate clients or are registered for VAT. There is no separate fiscal device to manage and no manual submission to the KRA portal.
Restaurant POS Kenya — frequently asked questions
What is the best POS system for restaurants in Kenya?
The best restaurant POS system in Kenya should handle table management, kitchen printing, M-Pesa payments, and KRA eTIMS receipts from one screen. sell.ke is the only Kenyan-built restaurant POS that combines all of these with local support.
Can sell.ke manage multiple dining areas or floors?
Yes. You can set up multiple dining zones (e.g., ground floor, rooftop, takeaway counter) within one branch. Each zone shows its open tables and active orders.
How does bill splitting work in sell.ke for a restaurant?
Cashiers can split a bill equally across multiple guests, or split by item — each guest pays for exactly what they ordered. The M-Pesa flow works per split, so each person can pay independently.
Can sell.ke print directly to a kitchen printer?
Yes. sell.ke supports IP-based and Bluetooth kitchen printers. When an order is placed, it prints to the kitchen automatically. You can configure different printers for different stations (e.g., grill vs. cold kitchen).
Does sell.ke work for a small restaurant or café?
Yes. sell.ke's starter plan is designed for single-outlet restaurants and cafés. You pay a flat monthly fee in KES and get table management, M-Pesa, KRA receipts, and reporting from day one.
How does sell.ke handle VAT on restaurant bills?
sell.ke calculates VAT per menu item based on the tax rate you set (standard-rated, zero-rated, or exempt). The full VAT breakdown appears on every receipt, and the KRA eTIMS invoice is generated automatically.
