MindMeal

The MindMeal pitch

Our three-minute stage pitch. Questions or feedback: ceo@mindmeal.net

  1. MindMeal. Real restaurant menus and prices, for travellers and their AI. Vasyl, founder · www.mindmeal.net
  2. Raise your hand if you’ve asked ChatGPT where to eat. Keep it up if it told you the price of the dish.
  3. AI can book you a table. It can’t read the menu. 3 in 4 travellers want to see dishes or prices before they walk in. 1 in 3 have hit a tourist trap on a trip. MindMeal early traveller survey, October 2026 (n=24): 18 of 24 want prices or dishes first; 8 of 24 hit a trap.
  4. “Paella near Casa Milà, under €15?” Claude alone: a guess, based on one review. With MindMeal: the menu. Paella €12.50 at Ponsa Restaurant, 567 m away, with the way there; €13.00 at Café Lennon, 829 m away. Screenshots: the Claude app without and with MindMeal connected, 5 November 2026.
  5. AI reads every menu, so we start with the diners. 669 restaurants live in Barcelona, dish by dish. About $150 to load a new city’s menus. ChatGPT and Claude: an app in ChatGPT’s directory, and it works in Claude.
  6. One month live: people use it to decide. 1 in 10 who open a restaurant tap to call, get directions or visit its site. In ChatGPT: listed in its app directory since 30 October; AI assistants use MindMeal more every week. MindMeal analytics, 8 October – 8 November 2026: 9.8% of visits that opened a restaurant tapped directions, call or website (n=163). Early data.
  7. Diners use it free. Restaurants pay a flat fee. Now: signing the first 10 pilot restaurants. Then: a monthly fee, no commission. Later: new cities, pre-orders, bookings.
  8. Vasyl, founder: grew up with tourists, thinks in numbers. Tourism: from 13 in his father’s bike tour company, seeing every day how tourists choose where to eat. Maths and code: podiums at regional maths olympiads; programming since 10; built MindMeal himself. Drive: Ironman 70.3 finisher; studies entrepreneurship in Estonia.
  9. AI can book the table. MindMeal tells it what’s on the plate. Looking for: people who sell to restaurants in Spain, and your honest feedback. Vasyl · ceo@mindmeal.net · www.mindmeal.net
