How to run your fast food / suya & shawarma business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
Evening is when a shawarma or suya spot makes its money, and it's also when there's no time to write anything down. Orders pile up, delivery riders come and go, and the count of wraps and sticks is a guess.
TheCEOApp lets you sell in a tap per item and see exactly what the night brought in.
Sell by the wrap, stick or plate
Add chicken shawarma by the wrap, beef suya by the stick and chips by the portion. Record each order in a tap or two, with drinks by the bottle or can.
Delivery orders from your own shop page
Your business gets its own online shop page with your menu and prices. Customers order from it and the order reaches you in the app, ready to prepare and send out.
What sold best tonight
See your best sellers and the profit on each sale, so you know which items to push and which to stock more of.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example chicken shawarma, beef suya (stick) and burger, and services like home delivery, party catering (per head) and small chops (per pack). Suggestions for a fast food / suya & shawarma come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by wrap, stick, plate, pack and portion. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry expiry dates on each batch.
