Loman AI, the leading Voice AI platform for restaurants, today announced that it has raised a $3.5 million seed round led by Next Coast Ventures with participation from TenOneTen Ventures and Antler . The funds will be used to advance product development and team expansion as demand for Loman’s AI phone platform rapidly accelerates.
In a $1 trillion industry strained by labor shortages, the phone remains the primary sales and service line for many restaurants. Every missed call is a missed sale, added pressure on staff, and a fragmented guest experience.
Loman’s AI phone agent answers every call, takes pickup and delivery orders, books reservations, fields guest questions, and syncs directly with leading POS and reservation systems. Restaurants capture more sales and deliver smoother service without adding staff. Customers see up to 22% higher revenue from recaptured calls and smart upsells, while cutting labor costs by as much as 17% by offloading phone traffic to the platform.
Founded in Summer 2024, Loman has scaled to serve customers nationwide, taking millions of phone calls and processing tens of millions in order volume in the past year alone. The platform has gained particular traction in the pizza category, where high phone volume makes call handling critical, though Loman is used successfully across every cuisine and restaurant format. From independents to multi-unit groups and national enterprises, operators are adopting Loman to capture missed revenue and improve guest experiences, with an increasing share of larger brands now coming on board.
