About Pintio

Our Story

Pintio was born from an unexpected journey to Australia. During a visit in early 2024, founder Kazuki Ueda was captivated by the vibrant café culture that defines Australian cities. From the meticulous attention to coffee quality to the seamless integration of technology in daily operations, Australian dining culture demonstrated a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

What struck Kazuki most was how Australian restaurant owners and staff managed to maintain exceptional quality while efficiently handling multiple aspects of their business - from customer relationships to inventory management. However, when searching for restaurants, existing platforms often displayed results based on rankings and popularity, making it difficult to discover truly exceptional hidden gems. This observation sparked the idea for Pintio: a platform that could provide an intuitive map-based discovery experience for high-quality dining establishments.

Developed in 2025, Pintio was designed with the Australian hospitality industry in mind. We understood that food lovers needed more than just another search tool - they needed a way to discover truly valuable dining experiences. Based in Osaka, Japan, but inspired by Australian café culture, Pintio bridges the best of both worlds: Japanese attention to detail and Australian innovation in hospitality.

Today, Pintio serves as a bridge connecting high-quality cafés and restaurants with those seeking them across Australia. Our platform reflects the values we learned from Australian café culture: quality and innovative discovery experiences.
