Company
Cache
Online convenience stores fulfilled by automated dark stores
We built an on-demand convenience store available on DoorDash and UberEats. Our product uses tiny, automated dark stores to handle and pass items to delivery drivers quickly, letting customers order convenience goods with delivery speed.
We live in San Francisco, and the company operates from San Francisco too. After YC, we'd stay based here to remain close to partners and delivery platforms we integrate with.
San Francisco has the infrastructure, delivery networks, and customer base ideal for testing and scaling our automated convenience store model.
