Kahawa

Run a Coffee Training School Like a Real Business

Kahawa is African Script's multi-tenant management platform for coffee and barista training schools - every school gets its own secure space inside the same system, from the first enquiry through enrolment, classes and the timetable, payments, the training floor's own point of sale, reports, and the books. Built for schools in Kenya first, sellable anywhere.

Most coffee and barista schools run on a mix of a paper enrolment register, a WhatsApp group for the timetable, an M-Pesa statement nobody reconciles, and a separate till for the shop. Kahawa replaces that patchwork with one system a school actually owns, with its own students, classes, payments and books all in the same place - and nothing about one school ever visible to another.

Platform Overview

Every coffee school's day-to-day, end to end, in the order it actually happens.

A prospective student's first contact with the school is tracked from day one, not just logged once they've already paid.

  • Enquiries captured and followed up before a student ever enrols
  • Enrolment turns an enquiry into a real student record, once
  • Nothing entered twice between enquiry, enrolment and the first class

Replaces the WhatsApp-group timetable with a real schedule the whole school can see.

  • Classes scheduled against a real timetable, not a shared chat
  • Each student's own class history and progress on record

A fee paid against a student's account, reconciled in the same system that recorded it - not a separate statement someone has to match up by hand later.

  • Fee payments recorded directly against each student's account
  • The books kept in the same system, not a separate spreadsheet
  • Reports a school owner can actually read, without asking someone to pull numbers together first

Most coffee schools also sell - beans, equipment, drinks off the training floor. That till is part of the same system, not a separate one with its own, unreconciled cash drawer.

Student records and a school's money aren't something to risk on an unverified backup.

  • Two-factor authentication required by default on every school
  • The database is backed up nightly, and that backup is actually restored into a scratch database every week to prove it works - not just taken and hoped for
  • A three-year audit log of who did what, when

Why Kahawa

Built for how a coffee training school actually runs, not a generic school system with "coffee" added to the name.

01 One System, Start to Finish

Enquiry, enrolment, classes, payments, the shop till and the books - nothing re-entered between them.

02 Multi-School From Day One

Every school gets its own secure tenant - nothing about one school is ever visible to another.

03 Two-Factor by Default

Every school's accounts require 2FA from the start, not as an opt-in afterthought.

04 Backups That Are Actually Proven

A nightly backup is restored into a scratch database every week specifically to prove it still works.

05 Built for Kenya, Sellable Anywhere

Designed around how a Kenyan coffee school actually operates, with nothing tying it to one country's rules alone.

06 Built by African Script

Developed and operated by the same Kenyan team behind African Script's other platforms.
