About

Founded in 2022, Polo is the ecosystem for coffee shops and restaurants in LatAm to run on. We design, build, and sell with our customer experience and reality in mind. This commitment has driven us to truly innovate, saving our customers from outrageous third-party costs and week-long lead times. We offer point of sale, inventory management, and more to our growing community of entrepreneur and experienced restaurateurs. Our tech is as user-friendly as an iPhone, yet powerful enough to power Starbucks. PoloTab is led by a team driven by the vision that things should be different, with the skills to make it happen. We were born from the food & beverage industry and are here to make a difference, not merely be part of the crowd.
