The story
Why we packed up and moved
Kiosk grew up on kiosk.co.ke. It was a good home for the platform's first phase — the first shops, the first tills, the first M-Pesa rings. But every house has a ceiling, and we hit ours.
The old structure couldn't scale the way our shops needed: heavier mobile-money traffic at the counter, multi-branch retailers, supplier portals, and storefronts that share one honest stock count. Every new feature meant another workaround bolted onto a foundation never built for that weight.
So we did what any landlord would advise: we built a new house before the old one gave out — kiosk.ke, on infrastructure designed for the next hundred thousand shops, not the first thousand.
