About menum.so
Empowering Somali restaurants worldwide with modern digital menu solutions.
Our Story
menum.so was born from a simple observation: Somali restaurants deserve modern technology that respects their unique culinary traditions while helping them compete in the digital age.
Founded in 2024, we set out to create a platform specifically designed for the Somali hospitality industry. We understood that a one-size-fits-all approach wouldn't work for restaurants serving dishes like Bariis, Canjeero, and Hilib Ari – foods with rich cultural significance that deserve to be presented beautifully.
Today, menum.so serves hundreds of restaurants across Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and the global Somali diaspora. From small family-owned eateries to large restaurant chains, we help businesses of all sizes create stunning digital menus, accept orders via WhatsApp, and manage their operations efficiently.
