AI-NATIVE BUILDER · HOSPITALITY OPERATOR
Diego Leporini — 26 restaurants opened. 20+ catering brands built. Still operating — now on AI I built myself.
I don't use AI. I build it — and my companies run on it.
Voice agents taking orders and payments on live phone lines. Outreach agents with their own inboxes. A custom CRM. 22 agents, 60 automated tasks — all built solo, all in production, all with paying customers.
Opened 26 restaurants and 20+ catering companies across Los Angeles, Orange County, Santa Barbara, and England. Executive chef, multi-unit operator, restaurant consultant. Ran every side of the business — back of house, front of house, and the P&L — leading teams of up to 30.
Founded Food Concierge in 2017 as a corporate catering company and grew it into an AI-native catering marketplace with nine owned brands and its own delivery drivers. Founded AirKitchenz, a venture-backed (LAUNCH Fund) two-sided commercial kitchen marketplace.
Became an AI-native builder. Now ships production AI products for the hospitality industry — voice AI, payments, POS integrations, delivery dispatch — built solo, with live paying customers, and run day-to-day by my own multi-agent AI operating system.
Receptionists take messages. ChefCall takes money.
AI phone commerce for hospitality: answers the phone, takes orders and event bookings, and collects payment — plus quotes, invoicing, contracts with e-signature, kitchen display, and delivery dispatch. Square POS integration live. Live with paying clients.
