I'm the CEO and Co-founder of Up 'n go, the easiest (and most fun) way to pay restaurants. I hope you enjoy using it!

Up 'n go - Pay at table

Launched 2017

My co-founders and I launched Up 'n go at a single restaurant, Starlite in San Diego. Our first QR code payment was in October 2017. By the end of the next year, we were in ten local restaurants; and by the end of 2019, we had 100 restaurants using our service.

Enter 2020 and the pandemic, and the concept of "contactless payments" in restaurants was born. Since then, we've grown to be in restaurants nationwide, including mostly very well-known restaurant groups.

Restaurant guests have now paid over 11 million restaurant checks with Up 'n go, totaling over $800 million! I'm proud of what we've created and excited about an even bigger future.
