Co-Founder
Koodos
06.2019 - 01.2021
- Koodos was started with the idea that splitting the bill 10 different ways was highly inefficient and unnecessary for both businesses and customers. For Customers, waiting 15-20 minutes for the bill is very annoying. For Businesses, having to split a single bill multiple ways is time-consuming and costly. We believe that paying the bill should be seamless and simple, with no wasted effort, so we built a platform to enable it. At Koodos, we aim to improve the dining experience by revolutionizing the way that you pay and split bills. Going out to eat with your best friends sounds great, but splitting that bill 10 different ways seems agonizing and unnecessary. We make it easy for anyone to split the tab with a push of a button.
- Our solution is to create a virtual wallet that is shared between you and your friends. Each person will pay for what they ordered, that money is added to the wallet, and when the total in the wallet matches the bill, the wallet is sent to the restaurant. As simple as one would send money to their friends through Venmo, Koodos enable quick mobile transactions from the customers to restaurants.
- Our grand vision for Koodos is for it to become a new standard for mobile payments between restaurants and customers.
