Building Gong.io for offline retail

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

We build an AI-powered SaaS that records and analyzes drive-thru restaurant conversations. Our product automatically detects opportunities to upsell and alerts operators when they're out of stock. The goal is to help offline retail operators improve order accuracy and increase sales through conversation insights.

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

We are based in Miami, FL and operate remotely across other locations. After YC, we would continue to be based in Miami with a distributed team model.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Miami is where the founders live, and it's a growing tech hub with lower costs than other cities. Remote work lets us tap talent elsewhere while staying rooted here.
