Across the US, a huge share of nail salons are Vietnamese-owned — small businesses run by people juggling front desk, staff, and books all at once. Most of them are still tracking hours on paper, texting the schedule, and splitting tips by hand at the end of the night.

Kệ started as a way to fix that for one salon. It's built to stay simple enough for an owner with no technical background to set up in an afternoon — not another piece of enterprise software that needs a manual.

What we build around

Simple, on purpose

No feature you have to dig through a manual to find. If it takes more than a sentence to explain, it's probably not going in.

You stay in control

Kệ gives you the hours and tip data — you and your accountant handle the final numbers. No black-box calculations.

Pay once, own it

No monthly fee for the core product, no per-employee pricing that punishes you for growing your team.

A real person answers

Questions go straight to the person building the product — not a support ticket queue.

Kệ is built by a small, founder-led team — direct support from the founder, whenever you need it.
