Who We Are
WookAI was born from founders Dave DeSantis and Chris Ure’s shared frustration with the imbalance in the restaurant supply chain industry. Dave, a restaurateur who owned and operated 16 establishments, experienced firsthand how difficult it was for independent restaurants to negotiate pricing, manage vendor relationships, and compete with larger chains that had stronger purchasing power. He recognized that many restaurant owners were overpaying simply because they lacked access to the right data and negotiation tools.
Seeing an opportunity to modernize the process, Dave partnered with Chris Ure, a serial entrepreneur and investor with experience scaling technology-driven businesses. Together, they created WookAI — an intelligent procurement and purchasing platform designed to help restaurants make smarter buying decisions, reduce costs, and gain transparency across their supply chain operations. Their mission was to use AI and automation to level the playing field, giving independent restaurants the same strategic advantages typically available only to large hospitality groups.
