Measurable Results. Genuine Impact.
SOKI venues aren't just more social — they're more profitable, more loyal, and more talked-about. Here's what the numbers say.
Real, geo-verified responses from guests who are actually in your venue — not anonymous online reviewers.
Guests who feel part of a community come back more. SOKI transforms one-time visitors into loyal regulars.
More interactions between guests and the business — more orders, more reviews, more referrals, more energy.
Word-of-mouth amplified through Real Moments, referral leaderboards, and shared social experiences drives new footfall.
Venues That Have Made the Switch
Real results from real venues who made their community the centre of their growth strategy.
"Since integrating SOKI, we've seen a clear uptick in sales — customers are ordering more drinks and meals after seeing specials pushed through the app. We've also noticed both new and repeat customers mentioning they found us through SOKI's Discovery feature. It's genuinely driving footfall."
"SOKI has completely transformed how our residents interact. People are using the group chat, sharing Real Moments from building events, and even organising get-togethers on their own. The private messaging has been especially popular — residents feel safe connecting without sharing personal numbers."
"I run workshops and I use SOKI polls to gauge how well they're landing in real time. The anonymous feedback is honest and detailed, and the AI analysis saves me hours. The geo-location check on reviews gives me real confidence that the responses are genuine — not bots or outsiders."
A Message from Our CEO
"When we built SOKI, we asked ourselves: what if every venue had a living social heartbeat? What if the restaurant you're dining at, the building you live in, or the event you're attending could transform into a real community? That's what SOKI is — not just a tool, but a social infrastructure for the places people love. We're just getting started."
— Dedan Msafari, CEO & Co-founder of SOKI
