Know about us

We believe automation belongs in the back of house.

Our Vision: Affordable automation for prep work is the future restaurants deserve.

Front-of-house automation is everywhere, but it often sacrifices the customer experience. At Pinto, we’re building back-of-house tools so you can get back to what matters: your customers.
