Never Miss A Customer Again

Missed phone calls are costing the restaurant industry millions of dollars every year, but conversational AI is completely changing the game. In this episode, we explore how cutting-edge voice technology is transforming front-of-house operations and recovering lost revenue for operators nationwide.

 

Christian Wiens, CEO and Co-Founder of Loman AI, shares his journey from working in a beachside barbecue joint to developing the leading voice AI platform for the restaurant sector. He explains the immense operational challenges inherent in the industry and how an intelligent phone agent can seamlessly take orders, process payments, and integrate directly with existing POS systems.

 

Beyond the technology, Christian provides a tactical masterclass on go-to-market strategies for B2B startup founders. From leveraging cold email and paid advertisements to building a powerful organic pipeline, he breaks down exactly what it takes to scale a software business in 2026.
