Our Story
Origin
We're brothers who grew up in our family's restaurant, StokeRidge Tavern & Grill. Host stand, kitchen, bar, floor manager. We worked every role.
Every shift, the same waste: every order taken twice. Once at the table, then again at a terminal across the room. So we built Relay. It captures what staff already do and turns it into structured orders. Dine-in, to-go, and phone, same engine.
The Team
