Between my concerts and my travels, I'm almost never at the shop. With Genuka I track my sales and stock in real time wherever I am — nothing gets lost, nothing gets mixed up. It's like being there without being there.

In six months, Genuka turned my business into clear numbers: over 7,000 tables served and my best-selling dishes finally identified. I hesitated at first, but today I'm really glad I trusted them.

Gabs Shop

I run my two shops in Cameroon from Paris. Genuka gives me enough control — orders, stock, alerts, teams — that distance is no longer an obstacle. It's actually what convinced me to open the second one.

Genuka showed me that 99 customers had come back at least twice in a year. I was able to reward my best customers at year-end without a second thought — the list was already there. I finally have real visibility over my business.

I discovered Genuka as a customer of another shop, then took the leap myself. I left my notebook behind, and today my favourite feature is expense tracking — I keep my money in and out under control. I highly recommend it.

Since we started working with Genuka, we've been able to keep better track of our expenses and sales. The team connected it to our existing online store. We've started migrating our tools to work entirely with Genuka, which is much more affordable and responsive. I give it a 10/10.
