About Zavo
Summary
Zavo builds an AI-native operating system for restaurants and hospitality businesses, combining point of sale, payments, reservations, and AI automation into a single platform. It targets enterprise and multi-location operators, replacing a patchwork of separate tools for transactions, table management, and manual back-office work. The platform is customized to each operator's workflows rather than requiring the business to adapt to a generic system.
Go-to-market
Zavo sells to enterprise and multi-location hospitality operators through a sales-led, demo-first motion, with the platform deployed and customized to fit each customer's operations.

We started Zavo in May 2025, currently over 400 businesses of different sizes use Zavo to accept payments and manage operations
