What OfOne does

OfOne is building software to automate order taking at fast-food drive-thrus. Using conversational AI, we help restaurant chains operate more efficiently and level-up their customer experience. OfOne can answer questions, intelligently upsell - like suggesting ice cream on a hot day - and always says please and thank you. There are 200,000 drive-thrus in the US and they are the industry's largest order channel. Our mission is to deliver human centric experiences that help restaurant operators prosper, deliver delight for their customers, and empower their workers.

AI-powered order taker for drive-thrus

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

We built a conversational AI system that automates order taking at fast-food drive-thrus. It listens to customer orders, answers questions, and intelligently suggests upsells like ice cream on hot days. This reduces errors, speeds up service, and improves the customer experience for restaurant chains.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company headquartered here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we built our product, find AI talent, and stay close to restaurant tech partners and investors.
