Right from Grubhub, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Chow Now, Caviar, Postmates. So he said, can you solve this problem? I said, this does seem like a problem worth solving. And my background is I was the chief marketing officer of an e-commerce retail company before this, and I'm not an engineer.

But what I learned very quickly and early on is I can't do my job well if I can't understand what problem does technology solve. So when I came up on this problem, I reached out to our engineer, our now CTO, I asked him, can you solve this? Can we not build an email parser and push it via API to one or two of these POSs?

But before that, when I came upon this problem, I had a list of about 50 different leads that I was talking to for this other Checkmate product. I reached out to them. I said, hey, I have a solution to this problem. Would you be interested if I said I could solve it for you? I think 22 or 24 of them replied within 48 hours. Hell yes.

So I called up our CTO and I said, hey, I think I just sold a solution. Can you help me build it? Typical startup-y fashion, right? So yeah, we then built this, or he rather built the solution out, I don't know, the first version in three or four days. And that's how we got started.

So what we do as Checkmate is, or at least we started off with, was integrating third-party platforms, Grubhub, Uber Eats, DoorDash, et cetera, into the POS systems of restaurants. That's how we got started.

Again, it took three to five days. So when we had the first product, the Checkmate, the core app, right? Our intention always there was we will do POS integration. We will not put yet another tablet. I didn't know the tablet hell existed then. But I was very sure that we're not going to put another tablet or hardware on the counter of the restaurant. So we had always focused on POS integrations.

But when we came upon this problem of third-party delivery platforms, we said, we have an API integration with a couple of POS systems. Why don't we use the same pipeline to now funnel some other kind of data into them? That other kind of data was basically information from order confirmation emails that the third-party platforms would send out to the restaurant operators.

You're five guys and you have a Grubhub tablet at your store, right? What would happen is whenever you received an order as a restaurant owner, you would receive an email order confirmation as well, saying NOAA has placed an order with your store and this is the order.
