Welcome to Food Foundry's Demo Day!
Food Foundry is a Chicago-based startup accelerator program by Relish Works, built in partnership with Gordon Food Service. In just six years, Food Foundry’s 30 alumni startups have raised over $65M+ in VC funding and created hundreds of jobs for our industry.
Food Foundry Cohort 6 is pioneering what’s next in Restaurant Experiences:
- Appetronix is the first fully autonomous robotic restaurant that cooks made to order meals in a vending machine format.
- Encounter AI is redefining the frontline worker experience with AI assistant MAI. Developed with technology capable of understanding voice amid the chaos of a drive-thru, MAI offers a seamless, mistake-free ordering process.
- Foodini matches the 173 million Americans with dietary needs to the venues and menus suitable for them. Foodini integrates into venue partner ecosystems.
- Let us Nudge is a patent- pending, restaurant seating technology, that helps restaurants turn tables during busy times and fill seats during slow times through their seamless and subtle nudge incentives.
- Localyser helps multi-location restaurant brands turn online reviews into their most effective marketing tool by automating the tracking, replying, boosting and analysis of online reviews from various sources, all from one easy to use dashboard.

This is a free event, but we strongly encourage attendees to RSVP to both events as soon as possible as seating is limited and the event will sell out.
