About us
Our mission is to make hospitality more human with AI.
Avintas is a Belgian product, built in Bruges, with one goal: helping restaurants focus on their guests.
Built in
Bruges, Belgium
Our story
We saw the same thing everywhere: passionate people drowning in admin.
Across Belgian hospitality we saw restaurant owners drowning in administration, empty tables despite the demand, and no-shows eating into margins. We built Avintas to change that: an AI platform that takes over the operational heavy lifting, so hosts can do what they do best. Welcome guests.
Avintas is built in Bruges, by a Belgian team that knows Belgian hospitality. Not a Silicon Valley platform that treats Belgium as an afterthought, but a product that starts here.

The team
Two people, one dining room in mind.
Avintas is built by a small team in Bruges that would rather talk with restaurant owners than about them.

Co-founder · product & engineeringBuilds Avintas from Bruges, from the floor plan to the AI host. Would rather spend an evening on the floor than a day in a meeting, and only builds something once a restaurant owner has asked for it.
BrugesWhy we do this
AI shouldn't replace people. It should make them better hosts.
The restaurant industry is changing. High costs and staff shortages are real challenges. We believe technology should serve the experience, never the other way round.
The vision
A digital co-pilot for every restaurant.
One that predicts risks, finds the right guests and makes sure every table is profitable. Without needing a manual.
What we stand for
Three rules every feature has to pass.
Hospitality first
Technology should serve the experience, never the other way round. Every feature we build starts with the question: does this help the host?
Transparency
No hidden costs, no opaque algorithms. Our AI explains its predictions and our prices are crystal clear.
Built in Belgium, for Belgium
Developed in Bruges by people who know Belgian hospitality, from brasseries in Brussels to the bistro around the corner. Our platform speaks Dutch, French and English.
