What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a food court
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a food court, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Food courts track multiple vendor operations, shared seating, food safety and vendor payments. Food court margins come from vendor commissions and shared service fees.
Vendors and customers expect clear billing, food safety and eTIMS compliance. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
