Imagine a waiter provides you with excellent service. You might express gratitude by saying "Thank you." But what if there was a way to make that gratitude more impactful and life-changing? Shukran exists to ensure that the most deserving service workers are rewarded by expanding their opportunities to increase their incomes through tips.
In Kenya, service workers like waiters, waitresses, barbers, stylists, and boda riders typically earn around Kshs. 20,000 per month despite long hours of hard work. Shukran is a game changer, aiming to equalize income for service workers and change lives through transparent and convenient tipping.
Tipping has traditionally been a way to show appreciation for good service, but it can mean much more. Shukran allows you to do more than just say "Thank You" by putting extra cash directly into someone's pocket, acknowledging their hard work and showing appreciation. This goes a long way in motivating the staff to give amazing service and get rewarded for it.
Consider the impact. Currently, the average service worker might earn around Kshs. 500 per day in tips. With Shukran, this amount could easily double, thanks to secure and private tipping through M-PESA or card. The additional income can be a game-changer, helping service providers afford their needs, save for the future, and ultimately, improve their quality of life.
For example, Jane, a waiter in Nairobi, uses Shukran to earn tips from her customers. She saves 50% of her tips and uses the rest for her daily expenses. If she makes Ksh. 1,000 in tips each day for six days a week, she could save a minimum of Ksh. 12,000 each month. Over time, her savings could accumulate significant interest, and grow up to Ksh. 140,000 in just one year.
