What if restaurant menus had AI copilots?

A baker in Iran built an AI-powered digital menu platform called Rumizi for his bakery and created demos for top NYC restaurants, including Katz's Delicatessen, allowing customers to chat with a menu assistant to decide what to order.

I have a small bakery called Delis Croissants in Amol, Iran. I beleive we have the most delicious croissants in the world so we need a cool digital menu as well but I couldn't find a digital menu I liked, so I asked claude code to built my own: Rumizi. Rumizi is Persian for tablecloth, the thing on the table.

Since you probably can't visit my bakery, I made demos from publicly available data for top NYC restaurants — starting with Katz's Delicatessen, which makes the best sandwiches in the world: https://katz-s-delicatessen.rumizi.com/

More NYC spots here: https://rumizi.com/restaurants

each menu has a chat assistant, so you can ask it what to order. I'm not affiliated with any of these restaurants; the demos are built from public data. I'm adding more, if you want your favorite restaurant on Rumizi, tell me here, or @irnco on Telegram or @srasoulj on Twitter.
