What PoloTab does

The ecosystem coffee shops and restaurants in Mexico run on. From point of sale, to inventory management, payments and much more for the most demanding. Our tech is as user-friendly as an iPhone, yet powerful enough to power Starbucks. PoloTab is led by a team driven by the vision that things should be different, with the skills to make it happen. We were born from the food & beverage industry and are here to make a difference, not merely be part of the crowd.

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

We build an all-in-one platform for coffee shops and restaurants in Mexico. It covers point of sale, inventory management, payments, and analytics. Our product is designed to be as easy to use as an iPhone but powerful enough to handle large clients like Starbucks.

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

We live in Mexico City and PoloTab is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mexico City puts us close to our initial users in the food and beverage industry. We're deeply connected to this market and understand its unique challenges better than anyone outside the region.
