Feedback from our beta group of service workers and business owners across Nairobi.
Before Asante, I would lose out on tips simply because customers don't carry change. Now they scan my code and the money is in my M-Pesa before they've left the table.
As a restaurant owner, Asante has meaningfully improved staff morale. Several of my best staff told me it's one of the reasons they've stayed. The setup was genuinely simple.
I wanted to tip my delivery rider but only had large notes. With Asante I sent KES 150 in seconds. They sent me a thank-you message. That felt right.
