How it works
Write it down. The rest is done for you.
-
01A shop
A whole shop, in six books
Baraka Shop keeps the counter, the M‑Pesa float, what it owes Msa Wholesalers, the rent jar, the boda and its savings. Open the app and there it is: where the shop stands, in the currency it counts in.
-
02Writing it down
Two taps and it is written
Money in or money out, pick how you were paid, type the amount, done. The counter till moves, the day’s net moves, and nothing else is asked of you. Faster than the notebook it replaces.
-
03The maths
Books that add up
Every entry posts to real accounts, and Koonto refuses any that do not balance. The shop can show a trial balance to anyone who asks for one — and it was checked before it was saved, never by you.
-
04The slate
Who still owes you
Amina took lunch on Tuesday and paid on the 28th. One name, one page: what they took, what they paid, what is left. The notebook by the counter — except it adds itself up.
-
05Whatever else you keep
Not all of it is a shop
An ayuuto is the group’s book, not the keeper’s. A household month reads the same way — rent, school fees, fare. And dollars sent home stay dollars, beside shillings that stay shillings: Koonto will not invent a rate to make one tidy number.
