No Notebook. No Guesswork. How 818 Chicken Tracks Every Sale with Kasenso.

September 3, 2026 · Kasenso · 2 min read

Two women in aprons behind the counter of a Korean crispy chicken street stall at dusk, one taking an order on a tablet beside a card terminal and a phone showing the day's total, trays of fried chicken and printed menu boards in front of them.

At the end of every business day, there is one question every food stall owner asks themselves: how much did we make today?

For most small business owners in the Philippines, the answer lives in a notebook. Or a calculator. Or somewhere in the back of an exhausted brain.

That was 818 Chicken's reality too. A Korean-style crispy chicken stall in Agdangan, Quezon — great food, loyal customers, and a very manual system. Every order tracked on paper. Every daily total calculated by hand. Every end-of-week inventory check a guessing game.

Not because they were disorganized. That is just how most small businesses here run. Nobody had shown them a better way — or if they had, it sounded expensive.

What changed: Kasenso

When 818 Chicken started using Kasenso — a completely free POS app built for Filipino small businesses — the notebook did not disappear overnight. It just became unnecessary.

Every order gets tapped into the app. And by closing time, everything is already there:

  • Total sales for the day — no manual adding required
  • Best-selling items — know exactly which chicken variant moved the most
  • Peak hours — see when customers come in so you can staff smarter
  • A clean Z-report at end of day — ready to review in seconds

What used to take an hour of counting and recounting now takes a few taps.

"Wait — it's actually free?"

Yes. No monthly fee. No trial period that quietly flips to a subscription. No credit card required. Kasenso is free because the right tools should not be out of reach for small businesses.

For a food stall focused on good food and good service — not on spreadsheets — Kasenso became like having a reliable team member whose only job is to never get the numbers wrong.

You don't have to run it the old way

818 Chicken's story is not unique. Almost every carinderia, food stall and tindahan in the Philippines has the same one — everything manual, and the owner exhausted by end of day. It does not have to stay that way.

If you want to know exactly how much your business made today without opening a single notebook — it might be time to try.
