Our first product is châtaigne 80% of digital ordering for restaurants goes through delivery apps charging 30%+ commissions. Restaurants want to sell directly to their customers, but their only options are building an app or a clunky online ordering website. Châtaigne changes that. Customers text the restaurant's WhatsApp number with their order, pay, and get their food delivered. We use LLMs to understand orders and answer questions, like a clerk at a store. For restaurants: No commission (monthly fee instead), integrates with existing systems, zero operational overhead. For customers: True store prices, no app downloads, no accounts, just natural conversation. Live in France and Switzerland across 70+ locations. Partnership with Uber for logistics.
