About us

We believe in making payments as simple as our name. Just get up 'n go!

Our founders, Touradj Barman and Scott Webber love the joy of sharing a meal with friends. But what don't they love? The inconvenience and awkwardness of splitting the check with friends. No one wants to count dollars at the end of the meal, and no one wants pay more than they bargained, either. Years ago when dining out, they thought, “there has to be an easier way to do this.” Combining that goal with their friend, Matt Hoyt's iconic San Diego eatery, Starlite, where Matt let the duo, "crawl into my Aloha POS," Up 'n go was born.
