I run a bistro and ship the code.

Owner-operator at Haiba Bistro, Dhaka. I built an AI ops layer that lifted average order value 42% and cut waste 28% in six months. I will do the same for you — because I've already done it for myself.

01 · My thesis

Restaurants don't need apps. They need a second brain.

The bet
The chef cooks. The brain remembers everything else — inventory, supplier swaps, social posts, regulars, what sold on rainy days. AI is finally good enough to be that brain.

I opened Haiba in 2024 with my wife and a head chef. I was the operator, the marketer, the bookkeeper and the IT department. It broke me. So I built what I needed.

Image-to-table ordering — guests photograph a dish from Instagram, we know which table to send it to. Generative social — every dish becomes a post automatically. Menu engineering — Vision LLM tags everything we serve, analytics surface which combinations actually move.

Six months in, AOV up 42%, waste down 28%, and I sleep again. The same stack works for any restaurant doing 15+ covers a night.

02 · A taste of what I make

Haiba × AI in production.

The AI ops layer sits behind every system already in place — the POS, the reservation book, the supplier WhatsApp threads. It doesn't replace them. It listens, summarizes and prompts.

Every Friday I get a one-page weekly: "drop the goat curry, your regulars rotated away. Tomato chutney is at 84% margin, push it. Sara hasn't visited in 3 weeks — send her a personal note."

I'd build this for you in 6 weeks. Or you can license what I already have.
