I spent 8 years working in restaurants (2012–2020).
I watched owners drown in things that had nothing to do with food.
Responding to every Google and Yelp review. Building schedules on gut feel. Ordering too much salmon on a Tuesday. Trying to keep up with marketing while running a full kitchen.
None of it is why they opened a restaurant.
So I built something.
I put together an AI system for independent restaurants that:
→ Monitors every Google and Yelp review automatically
→ Analyses sentiment and flags anything urgent
→ Drafts a personalised response in the owner's voice
→ Delivers a weekly digest in under 20 minutes to review
Before: 4 hours a week manually writing responses
After: 20 minutes approving drafts
That's one module. I also built AI tools for labor scheduling, food waste reduction, and marketing automation — all connected in one dashboard built specifically for independent restaurants.
I'm based in Chicago and I'm offering 3 free AI audits this month to independent restaurant owners.
45 minutes. I'll walk through your operations and tell you exactly where AI can save you time or money. No pitch at the end — just a written report you keep.
If you own or manage a restaurant in Chicago, DM me.
