Democratizing AI for the HORECA Sector 🚀
We believe that cutting-edge tech should not be exclusive to large chains.
Our Mission
To democratize artificial intelligence for the hospitality sector. We believe that cutting-edge technology should not be exclusive to large hotel chains or restaurants with an IT department. A tapas bar in Seville deserves the same tools as a chain with 50 locations.
The Problem That Obsesses Us
The hospitality sector represents 7.8% of European GDP. More than 1.8 million restaurants operate in the EU. Yet most still manage their menus with last-century tools: static PDFs, photos of laminated paper, or websites that cost 500 euros to update every time a price changes.
Translations are done with Google Translate (with results ranging from comical to offensive). Allergens are marked "when there is time". Dish photos are nonexistent or from stock libraries. And owners spend hours each week on administrative tasks that generate zero value.
We saw this problem firsthand. Our founder spent 12 years as a professional chef in restaurants across Europe before moving into software development. That unique combination of culinary and technological experience is what makes IAMenu not "another digital menu SaaS", but a tool designed BY hospitality professionals FOR hospitality professionals.
From the Kitchen to Code
IAMenu (formerly RokaMenu) was born in 2024 when its founder, after 12 years in professional fine dining kitchens and 6 years developing software, decided to solve the problem he experienced every day: digital tools for restaurants were terrible.
They were not just bad from a technical standpoint. They were bad because they were designed by people who had never worked in a kitchen. They did not understand that a chef needs to update the menu at 3 PM with service about to start. They did not understand that a daily special changes every 24 hours. They did not understand that "ask the waiter" is not a valid solution for allergens.
IAMenu was built on one principle: if the chef needs a manual to use it, we have failed. That is why we created GASTON, an AI assistant you can talk to in natural language. Say "create a daily special for 15 euros" and it is done. No forms, no clicks, no frustration.
Radical Simplicity
If you need a manual to use it, we've failed.
Invisible tech
The AI works for you, not the other way around.
Data Ethics
Your data is yours. DALL-E and OpenAI are tools, not owners.
Real Technology, Not Marketing
When we say "AI", we mean real functionality you can use right now. It is not a decorative button or a roadmap promise. These are the 6 AI pillars operating in production:
Conversational GASTON
35 CRUD functions by voice and text. Create products, categories, translate and generate photos by speaking naturally.
29 Automatic Languages
Contextual gastronomic translation. Knows "Ropa Vieja" is a Cuban stew, not "Old Clothes".
14 EU Allergens
Automatic detection with context. Infers gluten in pizza, dairy in gratin, sulfites in wine.
DALL-E 3 Images
Professional food photography generated by AI. Your menu goes from "plain text" to "magazine".
AI Descriptions
4 styles by 4 lengths: classic, modern, poetic, technical. Adapted to your brand tone.
AI Colors
Generate color palettes from a prompt. "Cozy Italian trattoria" produces terracotta and olive tones.
IAMenu by the Numbers
Operational AI features
Languages with auto-translation
EU allergens detected
Currencies supported
Professional PDF templates
Customizable QR designs
What Makes Us Different
The market is full of digital menu tools. Most offer a glorified PDF with a QR code. We offer a complete system that actually saves time and improves the customer experience.
Real AI vs Marketing AI
Our 6 AI features are in production. They are not "coming soon" or "beta". You can use them today.
Made by a Chef
12 years of professional culinary experience inform every design decision. We know what a chef needs because we were chefs.
Native Multi-Language
It is not a bolted-on translator. The system was designed from scratch for 29 languages with gastronomic context.
Radical Privacy
Your data is yours. We do not share or use your information to train models. We comply with GDPR and do not sell data to third parties.
