Jan 29, 2026

For restaurant owners, operators, and hospitality-tech investors, this New to The Street interview features Saleem Khatri, CEO of Lavu, explaining how the company’s new AI-powered general manager, Mati, analyzes more than 50,000 daily data signals across payroll, inventory, labor, payments, and banking to tell operators exactly where they’re losing money and what to fix before problems happen, helping restaurants recover the 8–12% of revenue typically lost each year while freeing managers to focus on staff, guests, and growth as Lavu continues to scale rapidly across thousands of U.S. restaurants.
