What Cheqout does
Cheqout is a mobile POS for brick & mortar businesses that allows waiters and retail workers to take or accept orders & payments. You can think of it as a hybrid of the Apple Store and WeChat Pay, with both staff and customers using their own devices to facilitate the transaction through QR codes.

Company
Cheqout
Mobile ordering & payments for Brick & Mortars
We built a mobile POS system for brick & mortar businesses that lets waiters and retail staff take orders and payments using their own devices. Customers scan QR codes to pay on their phones, streamlining the checkout process without extra hardware. It's a hybrid between the staff-driven Apple Store checkout and the customer-facing WeChat Pay.
We live and work in San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company would remain based here.
San Francisco is where our team lives and where most of our early customers and contacts are. Being in this tech hub helps us move quickly and talk to local pilot users.
