People looking for a meeting room or event venue in Kenya still rely on phone calls and WhatsApp photos, and owners of good spaces have no simple way to list them. The product had to make finding, booking and paying for a space feel as easy as booking a ride.
How we approached it.
- 01
Search the way people decide
Browse by category, location and amenities on a live map, then filter by price, capacity and availability, so the right space surfaces in a few taps.
- 02
Payments people already use
Bookings are paid with M-Pesa through a payment gateway, with instant confirmation for guests and clear payout records for hosts.
- 03
Two sides, one product
Guests get a simple booking flow; hosts get a dashboard to list spaces, manage availability and track earnings in under ten minutes.
