Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

The only software a coffee shop needs.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a single platform for independent coffee shops in the US that handles point of sale, employee scheduling, and mobile ordering. It replaces the multiple disjointed tools owners use and simplifies running a cafe all in one place.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is home for us and a major coffee market with a dense concentration of cafes. Being here keeps us close to customers and the coffee culture we serve.
