Archangel Ventures’ Post

I am thrilled to announce Restoke.ai $5.1 million seed round. As a former restaurateur, I have firsthand knowledge of how challenging it is to run a successful restaurant. The endless roles we juggle, the long hours in the toughest conditions, the sacrifices our families have to make —it’s all done for one reason: the love of creating unforgettable experiences and serving amazing food to people we love. I truly believe that successful restaurant owners are extraordinary individuals—perhaps even a little crazy, (I’m sure they'd agree with me). They are rare because it’s impossible to know everything you need to know, be everywhere, and connect with everyone all the time. It’s an incredibly tough life, but I always believed it doesn’t have to be that way. We believed we could help hospitality professionals like myself focus on what truly matters: Creating exceptional experiences. Four years ago, in an Afghan family restaurant, chomping on lamb kebabs (as we do), Ken and I set out to change this. Ken’s only condition was, “We must have fun while doing this.” And we still are!! We envisioned and began building a first-of-its-kind AI platform designed to manage the entire back-of-house operations for restaurants. It was a bold idea, but hey… I’m a restaurateur, and he is just crazy. We had a long journey ahead of us, with much to prove and numerous innovative technologies to develop. Yet here we are, at this pivotal moment. I must give massive thanks to the tireless dedication of our team, who worked countless hours for very little reward. This milestone is a testament to their commitment and belief in our bold vision. This raise is just the beginning. Restoke.ai is now entering its next phase of growth as we expand both locally and into the US. We have ambitious plans that will transform how we think about hospitality, and we’re excited to break shit up!
