In an era where technology meets taste, artificial intelligence (AI) is cooking up a storm in the culinary world. Restaurants are now embracing Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPTs), such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, to whip up innovative recipes and menus that tantalize taste buds and draw in crowds.

Velvet Taco’s AI-Infused Culinary Creativity At the forefront of this gastronomic revolution is Velvet Taco. The fast-casual chain has made headlines by employing AI to craft a unique taco recipe, now a star feature across all its outlets. Venecia Willis, the Director of Culinary at Velvet Taco, harnessed the power of AI, using specific prompts to concoct a dish that resonates with the brand’s identity while utilizing readily available in-house ingredients.

AI Menu Generators: The New Sous-Chef Beyond individual recipes, AI Menu Generators are carving out a niche as indispensable tools in restaurant management. These digital sous-chefs analyze customer preferences, food trends, and sales data to design standout menus. The result? A blend of creativity and analytics that not only streamlines menu development but also frees up valuable time for restaurateurs and chefs to invest in other business facets.

The Future is Served As AI continues to evolve, it’s clear that the restaurant industry is on the cusp of a new age of innovation. With recent acquisitions like Checkmate’s purchase of Voicebite, an integrated voice AI solution for restaurants, and Swiggy’s AI tool that aids in menu creation, the possibilities seem endless.

Chad grew up in a that family owned hotels, restaurants, a bar, and a catering venue. Some of his earliest memories were prying bottle caps out of floor mats on Saturday mornings. My mother, is the daughter or an immigrant Italian and Liquor Salesman. It was not uncommon, as a child, for the beautifully fragrant aroma of garlic to fill up the house in their marathon like daily cooking events. It was the merger of this influence that led to my love of food and the joy the Hospitality industry could bring to people. In my 20's I managed Fine Dining to Fast Casual Restaurants, nightclubs, sports bars, and Healthcare Dining while obtaining a comprehensive Hospitality centered education. At 30, I hung up the proverbial chef's hat. Having been in the first main stream generation raised with computer technology, I was fascinated by the role this was evolving to play in hospitality. Early adoptors of inventory, POS, reservation, and nutritional software had paved my youth, so it was a natural transition to move to rebranding myself. For the last 14 years I have been Selling, Implementing, Project Managing, and Strategic Planning, Point of Sale, Nutrition, Digital Display, and Reservation Technology. For the last 5 years I have been focusing on Hospitality technology in the Senior Living Space. There is an inherent passion here, because those parents that instilled my love of food service, will be that new baby boomer generation relying on technological innovation. They deserve the most dignified solutions I can create. Reach out to network with me.
