Agentic Point of Sale for restaurants and retail
Hi everyone — we’re Can and Ilkan, founders of Zavo (YC F25).
🧩 The Problem
Running a restaurant or retail business today means managing chaos.
Operators juggle dozens of disconnected tools, one for payments, another for POS, another for marketing. and none of them talk to each other.
Restaurant owners spend hours updating menus, checking inventory, fixing card machines, posting on socials, and pulling reports, all while trying to serve customers.
They deal with multiple invoices, sales reps, and support lines. It’s messy, expensive, and exhausting.
💡 The Solution
Zavo unifies payments, point of sale, and AI agents into one seamless platform giving every business its own digital workforce. Faster payments, smarter operations, and effortless automation, saving time and boosting profitability from day one.
How it works:
- Accept Payments: Take payments in-person with our card terminals, online, or with Tap to Pay on your phone. Simple, flat, transparent rates.
- Point of Sale: A modern, full-fledged POS with built-in AI for menu edits, item queries, and automated workflows for staff.

🌍 Our Vision
We believe the future of in-person commerce is autonomous.
Business owners should focus on what truly matters, great food, service, and customer experience, not admin. Every independent business deserves the same tools and efficiency as large chains. Zavo is making that possible.
