Our vision is simple — become the fastest-growing restaurant company on the planet.
ZIKI is a fast-casual restaurant serving Greek & Mexican fusion. We are scaling the purest, natural, and earthly ingredients out of our self-manufactured modular restaurants.
ZIKI touches pretty much every industry — food, brand, real estate, agriculture, manufacturing, supply chain, software, logistics, and technology. This is a large, global-scale, multi-decade conquest.
Just as Tesla re-thought what a car is — ZIKI is re-thinking restaurants from the ground up (modularity, the layout of kitchen, windows, how they feel inside, how they feel outside, chef flow, ordering flow, how people order, how they pick up — we are constantly rethinking all aspects.) This is one of the reasons we share investors with the same group that put over $1B into SpaceX, and several of Elon's other projects such as Neuralink, and the Boring Co.
