AI builds your site
Within 2 minutes your site is ready: real copy in your industry voice, matched photos, brand colours, a working contact form. You get a private preview link.

Built by TandoHost. Loved by owners.
Real stories from South African small businesses who moved from a slow DIY site, or no site at all, to a managed one.
We went from a Facebook page to a real booking site in a weekend. Took 47 photos, answered 8 questions, and the AI built the copy. I just swapped the photos for our actual plates.
Our direct bookings doubled in the first month. Before TandoHost we were paying 18% commission to the OTAs. Now we own the relationship and the channel.
I am not a tech person. The dashboard is the only CMS I have ever used that did not make me cry. Edit a page, click save, it is live. That is the entire feature list.
I have used Wix, Squarespace, and a WordPress site on a R250/mo host. TandoHost is faster than all three and the support is a real person who picks up the phone.
Common questions
01Do I have to use your payment processor?
No — bring your own. TandoHost is a business management platform, not a payment service provider. Connect PayFast, Yoco, iKhokha, Ozow, Zapper, SnapScan, Peach, Stripe, 1Voucher, or just log cash manually. Money goes to YOUR bank account.
02How do you know my revenue?
We capture the response from your processor after every transaction — success/fail, amount, external id, processor fee. No webhooks needed on your side. We never see card data.
03Can I use a card machine (Yoco / iKhokha)?
Yes. Card machines work via the Yoco / iKhokha APIs. We pull the device's transaction list periodically so every tap lands in your dashboard + reconciliation, with the processor fee already deducted.
04What about cash?
You can log cash sales manually. We add a 2% cash-handling fee to discourage untracked revenue (it's the only way the platform fee math stays fair for tenants who go fully digital).
05How does the loyalty programme work?
Standard → Silver → Gold → Platinum tiers based on tenure. Each step lowers your platform-fee percentage and caps the per-transaction fee. Platinum tenants get a credit on renewal plus extra grace days.
06What if I don't pay my TBS subscription?
7-day grace period with a yellow X-Subscription-Warning header. After 14 days your tenant goes to suspended status — only /customer/billing stays open. Reactivate any time by paying the outstanding invoice.
07Are you PCI compliant?
We're PCI DSS SAQ-A — the lightest scope. We never see card data; your processor handles it. A server-side filter rejects any request containing PAN, CVV, or card expiry — it never reaches our DB.
08POPIA?
We comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act. Tenants have full data export + deletion rights for their customer data via /customer/settings/popia. Audit trail on every change. 5-year retention for SA tax records.
09How do I cancel?
One click in /customer/billing. Prorated refund to your processor's settlement account. You keep your data export — download as CSV / JSON any time.
