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

Meitre is an online reservations, guest, and revenue management system built specifically for the world's top restaurants. It helps them manage bookings, understand guest preferences, and optimize revenue from their reservations and dining room capacity.

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

We live in Palo Alto, CA, and the company is based here with a remote team distributed elsewhere. After YC, we plan to keep the company headquartered in Palo Alto but maintain a flexible, partly remote setup.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Palo Alto is where we live and where we've built our early product and team. It gives us direct access to tech talent and investors while we also work remotely with members of the team. This setup lets us stay nimble and close to key resources.
