Overview

• WOOHOO is set to open in September near the Burj Khalifa with Chef Aiman designing menus, ambiance and service while human chefs prepare and refine the dishes.
• Chef Aiman was trained on decades of food-science research, molecular composition data and more than 1,000 recipes from global culinary traditions.
• Under chef Reif Othman’s guidance, human cooks taste and provide feedback on AI-generated prototypes to calibrate flavor and practicality.
• The model breaks down elements like texture, acidity and umami to craft novel ingredient pairings and devises recipes that reuse byproducts such as meat trimmings and fats.
• Founders are developing licensing plans to deploy the Aiman system in restaurants worldwide to expand AI-assisted dining and reduce kitchen waste.
