The Story

Our story started seven years ago, in a boarding school kitchen, where we just clicked over food.

We basically turned an abandoned kitchen into a student-led restaurant. Quickly realizing the real challenges of a kitchen.

  • Operational complexities
  • Food waste.

That experience, built on shared passion, directly sparked the idea for R O A .

Yago Ferretti

CEO & Co-Founder

My years as a chef, including time in Michelin-star kitchens, revealed the true operational complexities of the industry.

This experience gave me the precise insights needed to build:

R O A my dream tool.

Arnav Agarwal

CTO & Co-Founder

My background is rooted in deep analytical thinking, starting with my undergraduate degree in Theoretical Physics.

I then developed those skills with a Master’s from Columbia, which is crucial for building the solutions at the heart of R O A .
