Small shops deserve big-business tools.
The corner deli should get what a national chain gets, without a national chain's IT department.
Why the koi.
We took our name from the koi, a fish that swims against the current and, in the old stories, becomes a dragon at the top of the waterfall. Luck and stubbornness in one animal. That is what we want for the shops we work with.
Delivery was supposed to be simple: more ways to sell. Instead every app arrived with its own screen, its own menu to keep straight, and its own way of doing the same job — and the shop owner became the thing holding them together. We’re building the bridge between local shops and the platforms their customers already use. One current instead of many.
What we believe.
Complexity is our job, not yours.
Every platform's menus, orders, and quirks should end up in one place on your counter.
Good fortune is built.
The koi rides the current and arrives in the money. Nobody carries it there. We handle the boring parts of running delivery.
We’ve done this before.
Six founders. Over 25 years between us in payments, point of sale, and delivery. We are not new to Main Street. Koi6 is the system we kept wishing someone would build for it.
Where the current goes.
In the old legend, the koi that climbs the falls at the Dragon Gate becomes a dragon. Ours is simpler. A shop that runs delivery without thinking about it. A counter with one place to look and a line out the door. The corner shop with the same tools as the chain, and the owner back to running the shop.
