Perfect for
Built for the way you sell
From a single coffee cart or school tuck shop to a whole festival food court, YesChef fits how your kitchen already works.
Food trucks
Customers order and pay from their phones while you keep cooking. A collection code calls them up the moment it is ready, wherever you park.
Coffee shops
Regulars order ahead and walk straight to the pickup counter. Stamp cards turn the morning rush into repeat visits.
Quick service
Phone orders land on the same screen as your counter sales, so the queue shrinks without a second system. Tickets move faster from order to handover.
Full service
Guests order from the table and every ticket runs through one POS alongside your walk-ins. Loyalty rewards bring them back for the next visit.
Bars & breweries
Rounds get ordered from the phone, so nobody waits three deep at the bar. Drinks go out by collection code and rewards keep regulars coming back.
School canteens & tuck shops
Break is twenty minutes. Learners order from a phone or a kiosk at the window and collect on a code, and daily stock limits stop the last pie selling twice.
How a mobile order works
Four taps from scan to collect
Inside the console
Point-of-sale, marketplace and loyalty in one
Most QR-ordering tools stop at the menu. YesChef is the till, the kitchen screens, the stock room and the books, plus a marketplace that brings new customers to your stall and a loyalty card that brings them back.
Every order live,accepted before they pay
Mobile QR, self-service kiosk and counter walk-ins all land on one live board. Hold each order for your approval before the customer pays, so you never commit the kitchen to food you can't make in time.

Kitchen Display System
Tickets flow across stations in strict first-paid-first-cooked order. Combos break down to the right station automatically.
Stock, recipes & COGS
Attach recipes to dishes and stock deducts itself as orders come in. Low-stock alerts land before you run out.
Reports that pay for themselves
Orders, customers, margin, VAT, availability, item downtime, and feedback - the numbers to run a tighter, more profitable business.
Coupons & promotions
Spin up discount codes with usage limits, or get featured in the YesChef directory to pull new customers to your business.
Loyalty that pays for itself
Regulars earn points they spend on your food, never money off. Each reward is priced from your own average order, so repeat visits pay for it.
Staff on one tablet
Share a device with per-person PINs and roles. Every order is stamped with who handled it - real accountability, no extra logins.
Tabs, kiosk & pickup lanes
Run open tabs for sit-down service, add a self-service kiosk, or split a busy bar into named pickup lanes customers find by their code.
Cash up & billing
Close every shift with a Z-report that reconciles cash and card automatically. Transparent platform fees, invoiced monthly.

Kitchen Display System
Your kitchen, on one screen
Retire the paper tickets and the shouting. Run a tablet per station for a busy line, or merge everything onto one screen when it's just you in the truck.
Fair FIFO queue
Sorted by the moment payment cleared - first paid, first cooked.
Combos by station
Patty to the grill, chips to the fryer, drink to the bar. Automatically.
One-tap sold out
Mark an item off and it vanishes from the customer menu instantly.
Never miss a ticket
Sound alerts and big, glanceable codes you can read across the stall.
One order stream
Three ways to take an order, one place to run them
Mobile, kiosk, and walk-in all land in the same live board and the same kitchen queue. Mix and match per event - the console doesn't care how the order came in.
Self-service kiosk
Let the counter order itself
Stand a tablet on the counter and customers place and pay for their own orders while your hands stay on the food. Ordering and your live queue, on one device.
Counter walk-in
Ring up a regular in seconds
Punch in a walk-up order yourself - no QR needed. It skips straight to the kitchen, takes payment however you like, and can run as a dine-in tab.
Launch pricing
Every feature. R0 a month
We are opening YesChef with our first businesses on an introductory offer: the whole platform, every module, nothing held back and nothing to upgrade to. No card, no contract, no setup fee. It is a launch rate for early sign-ups, not our standard pricing.

Introductory pricing, offered to our first businesses while we open. It is not a permanent price and it is not a price guarantee: it holds for the launch period, after which accounts move onto the tier packages at the rate published then, with notice first. Separately, R0 a month covers the software only. Your payment provider charges its own transaction fees, and the flat per-order service charge on mobile and online orders is paid by the customer at checkout, not by you.
Straight answers
The questions every trader asks
Yes. The whole platform is free while we are opening with our first businesses - every module, nothing held back, no time limit and no card required. You can take real, paid orders without paying us a cent for the software. The only money that moves is the per-order fee your customer pays at checkout.
Your customer pays it - a flat R8 per order added to mobile and online orders they place and pay for themselves. The full amount, fee included, settles straight into your own Yoco, SnapScan, iKhokha, Zapper or Paystack account. Once a month we invoice you, in arrears, for the fees we're owed. You're never out of pocket and you never wait for a payout from us.
Immediately, into your own payment account, on your payment partner's normal settlement schedule (typically about two business days). YesChef never holds your funds - the money is always yours first.
No. The vendor portal and kitchen display run in the browser on the phone or tablet you already own. Keep using your existing card machine for walk-up cash customers - YesChef adds an ordering channel, it doesn't replace your setup.
Yes, and it doesn't have to be a particular brand. Any 80mm or 58mm thermal receipt printer works, including one you already have from another till system. YesChef prints kitchen slips for each station, bag tickets with a collection code your runner can scan, and a customer copy with a QR to follow the order. A phone or tablet next to the printer does the printing: Chrome on an Android phone connects to a Bluetooth printer straight from the browser, and an iPad works with a printer plugged into your network. Printing is optional. Every order is already on your kitchen screen, so a printer out of paper never stops service.
Walk-in orders you ring up at the counter carry no per-order fee at all. The per-order fee only applies to mobile and online orders that a customer places and pays for themselves.
Yes. There is no lock-in period and no cancellation fee - stop whenever you like and start again when the festival circuit comes round. Your menu, your customers and your history are still there when you come back.
