Why we're building ATE:
We've spent months talking to servers, bartenders, baristas, and restaurant managers. The same story keeps coming up: exceptional hospitality workers are invisible. Your skills don't follow you, customers can't find you, and when you drive loyalty, no one measures it. That's broken. And we're fixing it.
But we can't do it without the people who know this work best. That's why we're starting with 100 hospitality workers who will help us build something that actually solves real problems.
