The shop is the high street.

Minneapolis is home to the largest Somali community in the United States, and the halal grocery store is its high street. Along Cedar Avenue — the neighbourhood people call Little Mogadishu — and inside Karmel Mall, the first Somali mall in the country, credit given on trust is simply how business is done. A regular runs a tab through the week and settles on Friday, and the record of it lives in a notebook by the till.

We are a Minneapolis company, so this is the community we know first-hand. DeynBook keeps that same deyn — the running credit — exactly as you already do it, only on the phone in your apron pocket instead of a page that gets lost or soaked. Everything works in Somali and English, and when you call us for help, you reach people in this city who speak both.

What it does

What DeynBook does for a Minneapolis shop.

The same four jobs a grocery store actually does — the deyn kept right, reminders that collect, stock you can see, and numbers you can read.

Deyn

Debt tracking

Every customer gets an account. Add a credit sale in four seconds, take a payment in two, and the balance is always right.

Xasuusin

Reminders that collect

Schedule texts and calls in Somali or English. Customers get a friendly nudge with their exact balance — you stop chasing.

Alaab

Inventory & expenses

Know what is on the shelf, what is running out, and where the money went — without a second system.

Warbixin

Reports you understand

What is owed, what came in, what is aging. Plain numbers, no accounting degree needed.

Minneapolis questions

Asked by shops here.

Do Twin Cities halal stores already use DeynBook?

Yes. The Minneapolis–St. Paul metro is where DeynBook started and where most of the shops on it are — around three dozen across Cedar-Riverside, Karmel Mall, the suburbs and out toward St. Cloud.

Can someone come to my store in person?

We are based in Minneapolis, so for Twin Cities shops we can often set you up in person. Tell us the store and a good time, and we will bring your paper book into DeynBook with you at the counter.

Does it work for stores in St. Cloud or Rochester?

Yes. DeynBook runs in any browser and syncs instantly, so it works the same whether your shop is on Cedar Avenue or in St. Cloud, Rochester or Willmar. Support is by phone in Somali or English.

Put the Minneapolis notebook away.

Send us your pages this week and you will open your phone to every balance in the shop. We call within one business day, in Somali or English.
