So owners spend less time managing chaos — and more time running their business.
Most small food businesses in Africa are operationally blind. Stock levels are tracked on WhatsApp. Wastage goes unlogged. Supplier orders are sent as voice notes. Staff hours are written on paper.
The result is predictable: stockouts, margin erosion, labour cost overruns, and owners who spend more time firefighting than building their business.
The tools to fix this exist — but they're either too complex, too expensive, or not built for how these businesses actually work. Vyso bridges that gap.
We diagnose operational problems, set up automations that handle the repetitive work, and where needed, build a lightweight custom app as the interface. Then we stay on as the client's ops partner — not a once-off contractor.
The app creates natural lock-in: once a team uses it daily, switching costs are high. But more importantly, the client's business is genuinely better — more visible, less manual, and more profitable.
We target food businesses first because the operational pain is universal, the problems are solvable, and the market in Africa is massively underserved.
What we are
What we're not
Our clients are small and medium food businesses — restaurants, takeaways, catering operations, food producers, and market vendors — primarily in South Africa, with broader Africa in mind as we grow.
The common thread: they're operationally chaotic, usually running things on WhatsApp and spreadsheets, and the owner is spending too much time doing manual work that a system should be handling.
We start with a diagnosis. If there's a problem we can solve, we'll tell you what it is and how. If there's not, we'll tell you that too.
Start with a free 15-minute call. No pitch, no pressure — just an honest conversation about what's not working in your ops.
