On-demand food delivery from dark kitchens
We run a platform that connects customers in Pakistan, primarily Lahore, with meals prepared in our ghost kitchens. Our product lets users order food that's delivered quickly and reliably, focusing on quality and cleanliness through centralized kitchens rather than traditional restaurants.
We live and operate in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, and plan to remain based here after YC.
We are based in Lahore because it is our home market and the core of the demand we serve. The local food delivery ecosystem is still developing, and our solution solves unique logistical and operational challenges specific to this region.
