About Yin Yan
Yin Yan is the back office built for South African restaurants. We bring procurement, recipe costing, inventory, VAT and payroll into one place, so owners can run the whole business from a single platform.
Why we built it
Most restaurants stitch together a POS, a pile of spreadsheets and a bookkeeper. Costs drift, variance hides, and VAT season turns into a scramble. We wanted one connected system where a supplier price change cascades through every recipe, every sale depletes stock, and the numbers are ready when SARS is.
Built for South Africa
VAT at 15%, the SARS VAT Act invoice rules, PAYE, UIF, SDL and BCEA are first-class here, not afterthoughts. Statutory values are versioned and effective-dated, so every run uses the rate for the period it covers.
What matters to us
Accurate plate costs, honest variance, and tenant data that stays isolated by design. We would rather get the costing engine right than ship a dashboard that only tracks sales.
