Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Parrot Software is a restaurant technology company based in Monterrey, Mexico that positions itself as an operating system for restaurants in Latin America. Its core product is a cloud-based point-of-sale system for restaurants in Mexico, combining a payment terminal, delivery app channels and electronic invoicing into a single POS, backed by a restaurant management system accessible from any device through a web browser or mobile app.

The platform runs on Android hardware and covers front-of-house and back-of-house workflows: order taking at the terminal, an inventory module, a kitchen display system with order sequencing and automatic kitchen notifications, real-time reporting on diners, sales, cancellations, discounts and average ticket, customer/loyalty data for promotions, gift certificates, a time clock, and QR-code-based invoicing that lets diners generate their own tax receipts from the ticket. Parrot Pay, its payment terminal, offers automatic reconciliation and bill splitting by equal parts or by item. Functionality is packaged into plans, with modules such as inventories, the reporting app, time clock and gift certificates tied to the plan selected.

The company was founded in 2020 by David Villarreal and Roberto Cebrian and went through Y Combinator's Summer 2020 batch. Y Combinator categorizes it under fintech, SaaS and B2B, and lists a team size of 40 based in Monterrey.
