Company
Pop Meals
Pop Meals is a restaurant chain without chefs.
We build and operate cloud kitchens and tech-enabled quick service restaurant outlets. Our product is a system that lets us deliver high-quality meals across Asia without traditional chefs or dining rooms, using technology and kitchen automation to scale our food brands efficiently.
We live and operate in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We plan to continue basing the company here after YC due to the cost advantages and access to regional markets.
Kuala Lumpur offers a strong logistics network and lower operating costs than traditional food hubs. Our team is based here, which helps us move fast and control quality while scaling in Asia.
