Hey, I'm Tatenda 👋
I'm a Zimbabwean cloud engineer at Amazon. I built Order Udye because I watched restaurant owners in Harare drown in WhatsApp messages every lunch rush — orders getting lost, customers asking "zvaita here?" ten times, cashiers squinting at EcoCash screenshots trying to match payments to orders.
The thing is, WhatsApp is perfect for Zimbabwe. Everyone has it. No one needs to download a new app. But using it for orders manually? That breaks at 15+ messages per hour.
Order Udye automates the messy parts — taking the order, tracking what's paid, telling the customer when it's ready — so restaurant owners can focus on cooking great food.
