Overview

A pile of tools is not a strategy.

Restaurant owners are some of the most overwhelmed people on the planet when it comes to AI: huge pressure, thin margins, and zero time to figure out which tools matter. Deep Fried Bananas scores the business across twelve pillars and hands the owner a sequenced roadmap, so they fix the right thing first instead of drowning in apps.

What I did

Founder, product, and build.

Built with AI, end to end

Built AI-native from day one.

The twelve-pillar framework, the dashboard, the landing page, and the go-to-market, all designed and built with AI, by one founder.

The business model

One product, three ways to earn.

A hybrid model so the business isn't betting on a single revenue line. The dashboard gets owners in the door; the community and the course deepen the relationship and the margin.

01

Three subscription tiers.

From a single outcome-focused fix up to full franchise-readiness, owners pay for the depth they need and upgrade as they grow.

02

A community, not just a tool.

Owners learn from each other inside the platform. Community is the moat: it raises retention and makes the product stickier than software alone.

03

A course as the high-margin layer.

I package the roadmap into a course sold to the community. Near-zero marginal cost, and it turns expertise into a product that scales past my time.

04

The dashboard is the on-ramp.

The scored roadmap is the low-friction entry point that earns trust, then routes owners toward the higher-value tiers, community, and course.

05

Built to franchise.

The same framework that fixes one restaurant readies an owner to scale to many, which is exactly who pays for the top tier.

06

Owned end to end.

I designed, built, and am taking it to market myself, which keeps the economics and the direction in my hands.

Outcome

A real product taking its first users, built to prove a point I keep making to clients: give an overwhelmed owner a sequenced roadmap instead of a pile of tools, and adoption actually happens.
