B2B platform connecting restaurants with suppliers

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

We built a platform where restaurants and suppliers in the Middle East can place and manage food orders digitally. Our product streamlines the entire order process, reducing time, cost, and food waste for restaurants and suppliers by managing inventory and communication end to end.

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

We live and work in Dubai, UAE, and the company is based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Dubai is our home and the epicenter of our market. The Middle East's food supply chain is fragmented and offline. Being in Dubai lets us build strong relationships with local restaurants and suppliers we serve directly.
