Kibandas and caterers

Free business listing for kibandas and caterers in Kenya, with orders on WhatsApp

Lunch is ordered in a hurry and catering is booked weeks ahead, but both start the same way: somebody looking at a photograph and asking a question. A listing holds the photograph and opens the question.

List your food business

Free to list. No account, no card, and no commission on anything you sell.

Orders arrive in writing

The customer sends what they want, how many and where. You have it in writing, which means fewer mistakes than a rushed call from a noisy street, and it waits for you while you are cooking.

  • A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
  • Your own page with its own web address

People order what they can see

Photographs do more selling than any description will, and they belong where somebody hungry is already looking rather than in a chat they first have to ask for.

  • Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
  • Listed under your category and your city

Photos of the work do the deciding before anybody types a word.

Harambee and ruracio catering is agreed long before the day

A great deal of Kenyan catering is not walk in trade at all. It is a family fixing a date for a ruracio, a committee planning a harambee, a chama arranging an end of year gathering, and all of them are booking weeks ahead in a group chat. Then December stacks Christmas and travel on top. A caterer who is findable while the arrangements are being made gets a share of them.

Nobody takes a share of the plate

Delivery platforms take a cut of every order. Here the customer pays you straight to your own M-Pesa and no M-Pesa payment ever passes through us, so there is nothing for anybody to take a cut of.

  • No commission on anything you sell
  • Free to list, with nothing to pay later
One tap from your listing opens a chat, on the WhatsApp you already use.

Be findable while the season is being arranged

Free listing, one short form, and orders land in WhatsApp.

Do you take a percentage of orders?

No. No money passes through us, so there is nothing to take a percentage of.

Can I list a small kibanda?

Yes. There is no minimum size and the listing is identical for everybody.

How do customers pay?

However you already arrange it. We are the introduction, not a payment platform.
