Everything That Protects Your Margin
From counting to costing to waste, the daily discipline a POS inventory tab was never built for.
Smart Count
The app pre-fills a predicted count for each item, so staff confirm instead of tally. Count fast, scope a quick count to a few categories, and work offline in the walk-in.
Inventory Movement
Every change to stock is tracked and linked to why it moved: a delivery, transfer, count, production or waste. The full item history a POS inventory tab never keeps.
Recipe Costing
Build each recipe once and harakacount prices every dish on what you actually paid (FIFO), updating with each delivery, not a cost typed in once and left to drift.
Sub-Recipe Production
Log batches of sauces, marinades and prep as you make them. Ingredients are deducted and the prepped item joins your stock.
Waste Tracking
Log waste with reasons and photos, and see its real cost. Spoilage and over-portioning stop hiding in your food cost.
Stock Reports & Valuation
See what your stock is worth, which items are slow movers, and how value moves over time, across every location, so nothing sits tying up cash unnoticed.
Already have a POS? You still don't know your true profit.
Your POS rings sales. What you actually keep is decided on the cost side, where margin leaks to price creep, waste and shrinkage. harakacount is the profit-side that runs alongside it.
The intelligence your POS can't give you
Your POS knows what sold. It never sees what you paid, or the day a supplier quietly raised a price. harakacount turns every delivery into intelligence: who is really cheapest, what just went up, and what to do next.
- Supplier price intelligence. Compare what every supplier charges for the same item, delivery by delivery, and see the estimated overspend from not buying at the best price.
- Purchase price variance. Catch the moment a price moves, item by item from your last delivery, so a quiet increase becomes a conversation before it reaches your margin.
- AI insights. Plain-English reads on your own numbers: what changed, why it matters, and the supplier or dish to act on next.
Bring in sales from any POS
harakacount is POS-agnostic. Keep the POS you have, export a sales file, and every dish gets its real food cost and margin.
Export a sales CSV
From any POS, on any schedule. If it can export sales, it works with harakacount. No integration project, no switching tills.
Upload it in seconds
Match your items once. After that, every import lines up automatically to your recipes.
See true cost and margin
Sales meet your FIFO cost, so you see what each dish actually kept, not just what it sold.

See It In Action
Built for busy kitchens. Works offline when internet is slow.
Record Deliveries in Seconds
Scan a supplier receipt and watch the items, quantities and prices fill themselves in. Every delivery feeds your true cost, and your margin.
Spot Menu Winners and Losers
Every dish is scored on real margin and popularity: stars, workhorses, puzzles and dogs. Push the winners, fix or drop the losers.
Analyze Variances
Compare expected vs. actual usage to see where stock really went. Catch shrinkage, over-portioning and miscounts before they cost you.
Your deliveries post themselves into the books
Log a delivery in harakacount and it lands in your accounting software as a bill, already costed and ready to reconcile. Your purchase data flows straight into the books you already keep, so there is no double entry and no month-end pile-up.
- Received deliveries post as fully costed bills
- No retyping, no month-end backlog
- Reconcile in the system you already use
Typically 2 to 4% of revenue, recovered
harakacount recovers the food-cost leakage a POS or a spreadsheet never catches: over-portioning, un-logged production, waste and quiet price creep. Because it is a share of what you buy, the return scales with your restaurant while the price stays flat.
An estimate based on typical recovery, not a guarantee.
Simple pricing that pays for itself
Most kitchens recover more in food cost in their first month than a whole year of Growth costs. One simple price per location.

Questions, answered
The things food service operators ask us most, before they take control of their margin.
No. harakacount runs alongside the POS you already use. Your POS handles the sell-side, ringing up orders and taking payment; harakacount handles the cost-side, what you bought, what you have left, and what each dish actually costs. There is nothing to rip out.
You upload a sales export from your POS as a simple CSV (on Growth and Pro), and harakacount turns it into real food cost, margin and variance. Because it is a file upload, it works with whatever POS you run, with no special integration to set up.
Yes. Your team counts stock on the harakacount Android app, and counting keeps working offline: in the store room, the walk-in, or when the line drops. Everything syncs automatically once you are back online.
Staff count on the harakacount app for Android, available on Google Play. Owners and managers also get a full web dashboard at app.harakacount.com for reports, pricing and multi-location views on a computer.
Only if you want them to. Roles are permission-based: line staff can count stock and log waste without ever seeing costs, prices or profit. Owners and managers see the money.
Per active location, per month, with a set price in your local currency — KES, ZAR or NGN — so the price you see is the price you pay, with no exchange-rate surprises. Mobile money is the main payment method, with card also supported. Pay annually for two months free. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no card required.
Yes, from the Growth plan up. A multi-location dashboard rolls every branch into one view, you can transfer stock between branches, and Pro adds a volume discount once you reach five or more locations.
Yes. Loading your recipes and items is the hardest part of going live, so we do it for you. This white-glove setup is included free on Pro and on annual Growth, and is available as a one-time add-on on the other plans.
On Pro, yes. harakacount posts your received deliveries straight into QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books or Sage as bills, so your true cost data flows into the books you already keep.
Your data belongs to your restaurant, not to us. We never sell it, and we never share your inventory, costs or supplier details with anyone, except where the law requires it. It is stored on secure, managed cloud infrastructure, encrypted both in transit and at rest, and each team member only ever sees what their role allows.
Anytime. You can export your items, counts and cost data to CSV whenever you like, so you are never locked in. We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you ever close the account, we delete your personal data within 30 days and clear it from backups within 90 days, apart from the few records the law requires us to keep.
