An AI-driven assistant transforming dining by personalizing guest experiences and enhancing restaurant engagement
Project representative: Peter Farrel
Vivi, an innovative new startup, is redefining the dining experience with its intelligent AI-enabled virtual assistant. This platform aims to personalize dining for each guest, connecting people with memorable culinary experiences and transforming the way we dine out.
With a clear and focused mission, Vivi addresses common challenges faced by both diners and restaurants. The platform offers personalized recommendations, streamlined booking, and an efficient feedback system for customers. For restaurants, Vivi enhances customer engagement, optimizes scheduling, and seamlessly integrates with existing operational systems, fostering a more efficient and intelligent dining ecosystem that benefits both patrons and establishments.
What sets Vivi apart is its AI-driven approach, which analyzes diner preferences to recommend suitable dining venues. Beyond recommendations, Vivi simplifies the booking process, collects post-meal feedback, provides insights into guest preferences, and integrates smoothly with a restaurant’s current operations. These features distinguish Vivi from competitors in the industry.
Despite the presence of established players such as SevenRooms, Tock, and ChatFood, Vivi stands out with its personalized, AI-powered service that caters to a diverse user base. Recognizing gaps left by these larger platforms, Vivi ensures affordability and adaptability for restaurants of all sizes, offering streamlined reservations and tailored customer insights.
Vivi’s revenue strategy focuses on maintaining low operational costs while charging for value-added services, such as personalized recommendations, booking management, feedback tools, and premium integration options.
Currently, the core team consists of a single founder, with plans to expand soon. Adding strategic roles, including a Chief Technology Officer and a Marketing Lead, will accelerate Vivi’s growth and increase its potential to become a well-recognized name in the market.
In its early stages, the startup is still refining its concept. The initial funding will be allocated toward developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), attracting early adopters through strategic marketing, building a core team, setting aside funds for legal requirements, and investing in research and development.
Though some restaurants may hesitate to adopt new technology, and certain users may be cautious about advanced AI, Vivi has a clear strategy. The startup intends to make the most of its funding, aiming to deliver a polished MVP validated by early users, establish strategic partnerships, and lay a solid foundation for scaling up.
