# Yaha

> Yaha is an e-commerce platform that lets local shops accept pickup, table, and in-store orders online. We operate in Canada and Kenya, with growing coverage across both markets. Customers order, shops fulfill, and Yaha handles payments (Stripe in Canada, Paystack/M-Pesa in Kenya). We take 7% per order — no monthly subscription, no setup fees.

Yaha helps two audiences:
- **Customers** browse and order from local shops — primarily restaurants, cafés, food trucks, and specialty stores — for fast pickup or table service.
- **Shop owners** launch a fully-branded digital storefront, accept online orders, manage staff, and sync menu/pricing across channels in 30 minutes or less.
