Founder and sole operator of Haiba Bistronomy, Dhaka — Fauzul's personal culinary brainchild. He built a modern brand serving premium fusion dishes inspired by Indonesian, European, and Malaysian cuisine, leveraging custom Generative AI (Nanobanana + Seedream) for food design and a local-first Zustand ordering app. Fauzul bridges aesthetics, technology, and operations in real-world spaces.

01 · My thesis

Restaurants don't need complex enterprise OS suites. They need a bridge between vision and operational taste.

The bet
Chefs and operators don't need spreadsheets or Looker dashboards. They need a clear visual star to shoot for, and guests need a frictionless, local-first web app that just works. Generative AI (using models like Nanobanana and Seedream) makes high-fidelity food branding and visual targets accessible, saving thousands in physical R&D.

Fauzul launched Haiba Bistronomy in 2025 as his personal brainchild, bringing a premium bistronomy brand serving top-quality fusion dishes inspired by Indonesian, European, and Malaysian cuisine to Dhaka. Instead of hiring high-cost food photographers and wasting raw ingredients on physical dish trial-and-error, he built a visual design pipeline combining Nanobanana and Seedream image generation models. This allowed him to generate pixel-perfect plates that served as a clear aesthetic target for the chef.

Importantly, Fauzul conducted extensive research and designed the recipes using AI-assisted ratios, personally teaching them to the head chef and refining them to perfection using locally-sourced Bangladeshi ingredients. To deliver a modern ordering experience, he skipped complex POS subscriptions and shipped a sleek local-first web application built with TanStack Start, Go, ConnectRPC, and Zustand. Backed by 4 successful pop-up proofs-of-concept, the brand is now finalizing its permanent flagship location in Dhanmondi.

02 · A taste of what I make

Haiba × Generative AI Food R&D.

Generative AI is our core design and culinary blueprint. Using advanced image and video generation models with a combination of custom Nanobanana and Seedream models, we generate beautiful visual assets for our brand and marketing before a single ingredient is bought.

This visual target acts as the precise blueprint for our culinary team. Our chefs recreate the real dishes to match this aesthetic vision, improving the presentation, visual appeal, and targeted flavor profile to capture the market gap perfectly.

This zero-waste R&D process has saved us thousands in professional food photography and prevented physical R&D food waste. It enables us to stay agile, iterate on new promotional dishes, and grow our active community.
