Order ahead at restaurants and get rewards with friends.

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

We built an app that lets people order food ahead at their favorite restaurants and get rewarded for doing it with friends. You skip lines, earn points, and can send gifts through the app. It makes eating out faster and more social, especially around campuses and urban spots.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the concentration of restaurants and users we need to grow quickly, plus it's where our team is based. YC is in the Bay Area, making it a natural fit to build and scale here.
