About Us
Epicurean Digital Consultants blends 20+ years of hospitality leadership with cutting-edge digital design, branding, and AI automation.
Our Story
Founded by Ali Solak, Epicurean Digital Consultants was born from a simple observation: food businesses with exceptional products were struggling to thrive in the digital age.
With extensive experience in both hospitality management and digital marketing, we recognized that most restaurants, cafés, and pubs were caught between generic web agencies with no food industry knowledge and traditional F&B consultants with limited digital expertise.
Our unique model combines hands-on hospitality consultancy with tech-powered digital services, making us a one-stop solution for modern food businesses looking to launch, grow, or scale using intelligent systems and beautiful digital presence.
Our Values
Food First
We believe that great hospitality businesses start with exceptional food and drink. Technology should enhance, not replace, this foundation.
Digital Excellence
We create digital experiences that are as polished and professional as the physical hospitality you provide to your guests.
AI-Enhanced
We harness the power of AI to automate routine tasks, allowing you to focus on what matters most: creating memorable experiences.
Results-Driven
We measure our success by your success. Our strategies are designed to deliver tangible improvements to your bottom line.
