01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
OurMenu was a Y Combinator W18 startup in Mountain View that replaced ordering from a waiter with ordering from a website. Diners scanned a QR code on the table, browsed the menu, ordered and paid by phone without downloading an app, and the food was brought to them. The plan was to charge restaurants $300 per month for the technology and sell back aggregated menu-choice data.
