Hands-on restaurant operations background meets AI × automation. Solo practice in Tokyo, building production systems for restaurants and small businesses.
Get in touchI'm Masahito Hebiishi (蛇石 真民). I spent eight years on the floor at one of the largest restaurant groups in Japan before transitioning to engineering. Today I design, build, and operate AI and automation systems for restaurants and small businesses — alone, end to end.
Floor work at a national restaurant chain: operations, numbers, staff training, daily store running. Eight years on the floor in total, including student years.
Moved to engineering to fix the inefficiencies I saw daily. React, Next.js, FastAPI, Cloud Run.
Joined an AI startup as a contractor, moving to the side that solves restaurant-industry problems with technology.
Notion, Google Apps Script, AI, and web apps. Products built and run in-house. Based in Tokyo.
Get restaurants visible in ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Perplexity, and — in Japan — LINE Agent i. Structured data, content engineering, monthly measurement.
LINE AI Chatbot (β) setup, Q&A engineering, preparation for the LINE OA AI Mode launching summer 2026. Specific to the Japanese market where LINE dominates.
Database design, relations, automated sync with Sheets/Forms/Gmail. Production Notion automation flows shipped.
Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini APIs for summarization, classification, report generation. RAG-based knowledge search (my own product aiyolab: 8,400+ chunks, 87.5% accuracy measured on 200 national-exam questions).
React / Next.js / FastAPI / Cloud Run. Internal tools to consumer web services. Currently operating several production apps.
2,600 national exam questions with AI explanations, AI meal-plan generator, RAG-based nutrition chat. Three-tier subscription.

Natural language → SQL → charts → AI interpretation, end to end. Built for small restaurants who can't afford an analyst.

Design, implementation, and operation are the same person. No broken telephone between requirements and code, no runbooks written by people who never ran the system.
Floor-trained intuition shapes the design: I know what "the staff won't use this" looks like before code is written.
Decision speed is the moat. A LINE message at noon can become a deployment by evening.
If you're working on restaurant tech, AI-in-messenger-app strategy, or AI automation for SMBs, I'd be happy to talk.
