^{"Run your restaurant with an AI agent that updates your menu, prices, and more."}

Founded by Nick Evans & Shayan Guha‍

👋 Hi everyone! Meet Nick Evans and Shayan Guha, co-founders of Avocado: a point-of-sale system for restaurants that now includes a fully integrated AI assistant. They’re thrilled to share our biggest update yet.

‍

👩🍳 Why Avocado was built

The Avocado founders worked with restaurants for years and kept seeing the same story over and over: people want to focus on hospitality and food - not software. But they were stuck with outdated POS systems or janky integrations between too many tools.

So the founders built Avocado to be the last system a restaurant needs: tightly integrated hardware and software, a beautiful POS UI, and now, a deeply capable AI agent.

(Also, they were frustrated that nobody else had done it right. So they did.)

‍

🧠 The problem: running a restaurant is overwhelming

Independent restaurant owners juggle dozens of tools, dozens of vendors, and constant interruptions - all while trying to serve food and keep customers happy. Managing the POS, updating menus, pulling sales reports, figuring out Instagram posts, dealing with changing prices… it’s a full-time job on top of their actual full-time job.

But the real bottleneck? Information is trapped in systems that don’t talk to each other, and most POS systems are clunky, hard to use, or just dumb.

‍

🍳 The solution: an AI agent that knows your restaurant

Avocado is a POS system designed from the ground up to work with an AI assistant. The agent understands your menu, your modifiers, your sales data, your customers, your staff - and it can take action across the system in real time.

‍

You can ask it:

• “Add a matcha latte to the menu for $5.50.”
• “What’s my best-selling item on weekends?”
• “Update all egg-based items to reflect the new cost of eggs.”
• “Create a social media post featuring today’s specials.”
• “Tell me which servers had the highest tips last week.”

…and it just does it. Right away. No UI to navigate, no learning curve, no training required.

💡 This is more than a chatbot. This is a restaurant-native AI agent with full control over the POS, KDS, kiosk, and online ordering systems - like having a superpowered GM in your pocket.
