City Storage Systems is a startup with a huge mission and an aggressively boring name. We build disruptive restaurant infrastructure for better food – software to run growing food businesses, and kitchens to produce quality food at dramatically lower cost. Our name hasn’t stopped us from building a world-class tech team and great products.

Our most well known product brands are Otter, CloudKitchens, and Lab37. To make these products great, we tackle technical problems at the interface between the digital and physical world. This includes novel robotics platforms, ML prediction for real estate, and products that aggregate and optimize 100s of daily restaurant use cases. We serve restaurants and thereby eaters all around the world.

This newsletter will focus on our tech team’s ongoing learnings and hard lessons.
