Curate 80 EU Hospitality Startups

I need a thoroughly-researched list of 80 European startups that are genuinely innovating hospitality, restaurant, and food-and-beverage operations through technology. My priority is strategic management—especially venue optimisation and resource management (metric is reducing effort to manage venues or full automation) — but I still want a balanced view of the wider ecosystem, so please place each company in one of the four buckets below: • Strategic management (management of venues) • Back office (admin-task automation etc.) • Creative food & beverage management (menu development, recipe engines, etc.) • Front office (wait-staff, cleaning, cashiers, robots, cooking etc.) What makes a company qualify: • Headquarters in Europe • Founded in 2017 or later • Total funding strictly under €20 million • Clear focus on hospitality / restaurant / F&B or retail operations (no generic AI agents) • Offers software, hardware, or a blend—AI SaaS, robotics, computer-vision tools, smart kitchen devices, etc.—that cuts labour time or fully automates routine tasks Exclusions: • ePOS cashier systems • Loyalty / CRM point collectors • Delivery marketplaces such as Foodora, Wolt, Deliveroo, etc. • Re-listing near-identical players more than twice Deliverable: A spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) with one row per startup containing: 1. Company name & homepage URL 2. Year founded 3. HQ country & city 4. Funding to date (EUR, source link) 5. Product snapshot (1-2 lines on the solution and what task it replaces/optimises) 6. Category (from the four above) 7. Primary tech type (AI software, robotics hardware, or hybrid) 8. Source links (press, Crunchbase, company deck, etc.). The startups need to be active. I will review the list against the criteria above; entries that miss a requirement, duplicate a technology more than twice, or fall into the excluded groups will need replacing. Feel free to use ChatGPT and other LLMs but please double check the links.
