Company Summary
Preo - formerly BUZZtheBar - is a mobile app that lets users order and pay for food & drinks on their phones, then get a notification when their orders are ready for pickup at the bar or delivered to their table. Our patent pending hardware integrates with existing staff workflow, and automatically notifies users when orders are being made. With our system, venues make an additional $500 per bartender per hour and guests wait half as long.
