Modern Point of Sale for Gas Stations and Truck Stops

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

We have built a SaaS point of sale system tailored to gas stations and truck stops. It replaces outdated and overpriced legacy systems with a modern, affordable product that offers more features and flexibility. Our software handles payments, inventory, and operations specifically for the fuel retail market.

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

We live in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Little Rock is where our team and early customers are. We have strong local connections to the gas station industry here and it's a lower-cost hub for building a company in this sector.
