The restaurant system that runs the whole house.
Floor, waiters, kitchen, delivery apps, WhatsApp orders, takeaway, mobile money, stock, suppliers, staff, guests and accounts in one system made to fit your restaurant. Every order reaches the kitchen. Every bill gets paid. Every plate earns what it should, and you see all of it on your phone.
Restaurants & cafés
The whole room, live, in the palm of your hand.
Every table shows its status, guests, time seated and spend. Seat walk-ins, move a party, merge tables for a family or split one when half the table leaves. Main room, terrace, family hall and ladies section each have their own plan.
- Floor plans drawn to match every room
- Status by colour: free, seated, eating, paying
- Timers that flag slow tables
- Sections assigned to each waiter
Waiters order from their own phones.
No walking back to a terminal and no special handhelds to buy. The waiter taps the table, adds dishes with their options, seats and courses, and the order is in the kitchen before they reach the next table.
- Any phone becomes a handheld
- Options, extras, allergies and seat numbers
- Courses held and fired when you say
- Menu in English and Somali
One kitchen screen for every order, from everywhere.
Dine-in, takeaway, WhatsApp, your online menu, kiosks and delivery apps land in one queue with a timer on every ticket. Grill, fryer, salads and drinks each see only their part, and the expo screen brings it together.
- Routing to stations and an expo screen
- Timers that turn amber, then red
- All-day counts and sold-out items
- Recall a bumped ticket in one tap
Every delivery app on one screen, not five tablets.
Orders from delivery apps come straight into GuulHub and onto the kitchen screen next to your own. Your own online menu and WhatsApp ordering take orders with no commission. Your riders get their drops, and customers get a message when the food leaves.
- Delivery-app orders merged into one queue
- Commission-free online menu and WhatsApp ordering
- Your own riders, dispatched and tracked
- Scheduled orders and pickup time slots
Scan, order more, split and pay, without waiting.
A QR code on each table opens your photo menu. Guests order another round, call the waiter, split the bill by item or evenly, and each pays their share by their own wallet or card. The table closes itself when the last share lands.
- Photo menu by QR
- Split by item, seat or evenly
- Each guest pays by their own wallet
- Tips and service charge, receipt on WhatsApp
A counter that moves as fast as the rush.
Self-order kiosks and the counter feed the same kitchen screen. The order-ready screen shows each number as it is called, and the customer gets a WhatsApp message the moment their food is ready.
- Self-order kiosk on any tablet
- Order-ready screen for collection
- Ready message on WhatsApp
- Car-side and drive-through orders
Know the profit on every plate, and what to change.
Link each dish to its recipe. GuulHub works out the true cost, the margin and how well it sells, sorts your menu into stars, workhorses, puzzles and dishes to review, and GuulAI tells you what to reprice, feature or drop.
- Recipes to the ingredient
- Cost, margin and popularity per dish
- Price changes across every channel at once
- Menu advice from GuulAI
Never run out before service. Never overbuy.
Every sale uses ingredients, so stock is always current. Low items become a supplier order sent on WhatsApp. Snap the supplier's bill and it lands in your books. Record waste and see what it is costing you.
- Ingredient-level stock, by branch
- Supplier orders on WhatsApp
- Supplier bills from a photo
- Waste and stock-count tracking
Every table booked, every iftar ready on time.
Reservations and waitlist on WhatsApp and online. Weddings, birthdays and iftar groups booked with deposits. In Ramadan, iftar pre-orders are fired to the kitchen to be ready at sunset, and suhoor hours switch on by themselves.
- Reservations, waitlist and "your table is ready"
- Events and catering with deposits and invoices
- Iftar pre-orders timed to sunset
- Suhoor and Eid hours
Recognise every regular. Fill every quiet night.
Enter a phone number and the guest's name, favourite dish and allergies appear. Points build on every visit, gift cards go to friends, and your Friday special or Eid offer goes to exactly the guests who will come. Feedback arrives after every visit.
- Guest profiles with allergies and favourites
- Loyalty points and gift cards by phone number
- Campaigns on WhatsApp and SMS
- Feedback and reviews after each visit
The right team on every shift, paid right.
Build the rota around your busiest hours, let staff clock in on their phones, share tips fairly, and run payroll with every hour, tip and advance already counted. Managers approve voids and discounts from their phone.
- Rotas and labour forecasts
- Clock-in on the phone
- Tip pooling and service charge sharing
- Voids and discounts need a manager
The day's close, on WhatsApp, before you get home.
Live sales, covers and kitchen times on your phone all day. At close, GuulHub sends you the takings by wallet and cash, food cost, best sellers, what is low for tomorrow, and a supplier order ready to send.
- Live dashboard on your phone
- Daily close report on WhatsApp
- Cash counted against expected
- Tomorrow's supplier order in one tap
One restaurant or twenty, one system.
One menu with prices by branch, a central kitchen that sends stock to every branch, and every branch's sales, food cost and labour compared side by side.
- Central menu, branch prices
- Central kitchen transfers
- Branch-by-branch comparison
- Roles per branch

Restaurants & cafés
What hardware do I need?
None to start. Waiters use their phones, the kitchen uses any tablet or screen, kiosks run on a tablet, and receipts go on WhatsApp. Receipt printers, kitchen printers and cash drawers work too.
Can I connect delivery apps?
Yes. Orders from delivery apps come into the same kitchen queue. Tell us which apps you use and we connect them during setup.
What if the internet drops?
Waiters keep taking orders and the kitchen keeps cooking. Everything syncs when the connection returns.
Does it work with several branches?
Yes. One menu with branch prices, a central kitchen, and every branch compared side by side.
Can you build our menu?
Yes. We build your menu with photos, options and recipes in English and Somali as part of setup.
Can I move from my current system?
Yes. We bring over your menu, customers and stock, and train your team before you switch.
