ConverseNow
Built for Restaurants, Powered by AI
ConverseNow was founded with a clear vision—to serve the people who make the restaurant industry run: owners, operators, frontline staff, and the guests they care for.
Our team brings deep experience across foodservice, operations, quick service, full-service dining, technology, and customer experience. Together, we set out to solve one of the industry's toughest challenges: automating the fast-paced, high-touch world of voice ordering.
We understand the daily pressure restaurant teams face. That's why we designed our AI-powered virtual assistants to act like a digital "best friend"— taking care of repetitive order-taking and support tasks so teams can focus on what matters most: preparing and serving great food. Serving millions of conversations, our proprietary AI continues to evolve. We help brands deliver consistent delightful guest experiences enabling restaurant managers to focus on food.
Meet the Co-Founders
Vinay Shukla and Rahul Aggarwal first crossed paths as engineering students in college, quickly bonding over a shared passion for innovation and problem-solving. Their early careers took them to global giants like UBS, Barclays, and Unilever, but their entrepreneurial spirit led them to co-found Endeavor Software Technologies in 2002. After scaling the company into a success and selling it to Genpact in 2016, they turned their attention to a new frontier: AI. In 2018, they launched ConverseNow, driven by a bold vision to revolutionize how restaurants use voice AI. Today, both founders continue to lead from ConverseNow's global headquarters in Austin, Texas, where their mission to reshape the dining experience through technology continues to gain momentum.
