While growing up, Peter Shearer watched his mom get up each day at 2 AM or 3 AM to get ready for her providing food business. 

For some individuals who own little food organizations in Indonesia, “everything is dealt on their own, so I extremely needed to make a framework so they can have better tasks and get greater personal satisfaction,” Shearer explained. 

His startup, Wahyoo, was established in 2017 to support little restaurants, called warung makan, digitize and computerize more undertakings, from requesting supplies to overseeing funds.
