It started with a chef, a notebook, and an idea to give restaurants something they never seem to have enough of – time.
Our Chef has spent years in kitchens and behind the scenes, running restaurants and living the nonstop rhythm owners know by heart. No matter where he worked, he saw the same pattern.
Talented, hardworking people were managing staff, service, menus, and margins—but had no time left for the one thing that kept them connected to their guests.
Marketing always fell to the bottom of the list. And when it stayed there too long, it showed.
For 10 years, we’ve explored ways to fix the problem. The ideas were strong, the need was clear, but the tools never matched the pace or pressure of real restaurant life.
Then AI came in and changed the game.
With the technology ready to handle the challenges, our team of experienced operators and product leaders decided to bring this idea to life.
Together, they built Riziki. An AI powered social marketing app built for restaurants, designed to give time back.
The name “Riziki” comes from Swahili. It means more than just food, it speaks to sustenance, provision, and community. It's a word rooted in care and daily nourishment.
That’s the heart of this company: give back time, clarity, and consistency to the people who serve others every day.
We’ve led kitchens, built companies, scaled platforms, and crafted tools for real work.
We are in Beta right now! Get early access and a first look at the platform built for hospitality over hashtags.
