Bringing AI to the Table - Wali Partners with EatOkra
Bringing the Power of AI to Black-owned Restaurants Across the US
At Wali, our mission has always been to empower local businesses with accessible, cutting-edge AI solutions. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with EatOkra, the leading discovery app for Black-owned restaurants. Together, we’re making it easier than ever for diners to connect with their favorite restaurants while equipping these businesses with the tools they need to thrive in the digital age.
This partnership represents more than just technology—it’s a step toward inclusion and innovation. Historically, AI advancements have been driven by a narrow segment of the tech community. But with Wali and EatOkra, two African-American-founded companies are coming together to create solutions that reflect the diversity and richness of the communities we serve.
How This Partnership Works
Through this collaboration, we’re bringing Wali AI Assistants to over 18,000 Black-owned restaurants featured in the EatOkra app. These Assistants make customer engagement effortless by:
Providing instant answers to customer questions about menus, hours, and more.
Offering a conversational experience for reservations, inquiries, and dining options.
Operating 24/7, giving restaurants a constant, reliable presence for their customers.
Each restaurant will also have its own dedicated Wali bot page, enhancing visibility and making it easier for diners to find the information they need quickly.
Breaking Barriers with AI
This partnership highlights a powerful moment in technology and business:
Inclusion in AI: By partnering with EatOkra, we’re ensuring that Black-owned restaurants have access to the same cutting-edge AI tools as larger enterprises, leveling the playing field for local businesses.
Representation in Leadership: Both Wali and EatOkra are led by African-American founders, Marvin Johnson and Anthony Edwards, who are committed to fostering innovation that serves all communities.
This collaboration is a testament to what’s possible when technology is used as a force for inclusion and opportunity.
