A simpler way for schools to manage meals, events and payments.
Rafyo is a modern platform designed to reduce admin for schools and make everyday interactions easier for parents.
We're currently working with a small number of schools to shape the product — and are looking for a few design partner schools to help us build it.

About
The story behind Rafyo
Rafyo is developed by Julian Krispel, a software engineer based in Sussex.
Julian works with schools to design practical software that simplifies everyday administrative workflows.
The project began after working closely with a local school and seeing first-hand how complex meal and event administration can become.
Interested in becoming a design partner?
We're currently speaking with a small number of schools to understand their workflows and challenges.
If you'd be open to a short 15-minute conversation, we'd love to hear how things work at your school.
