Asakana
AI order entry for food distributors: emails and texts to ERP
- Batch: Y Combinator Fall 2026 (source)
- Industry: Consumer (source)
- Based: San Francisco, CA, USA (source)
What they shipped
- From its YC profile: Restaurants send orders to food distributors by email, text, and photo. Someone at the distributor retypes every one of them into the ERP.

Live at US seafood distributors today, returning 40%+ of order-desk time to selling. Founded by a seafood distributor and a Gemini builder. (source)
- Its own site describes it as: "Asakana turns customer messages across text, calls, voicemail, WhatsApp, WeChat, and email into accurate order drafts in your existing ERP. Built for food distribution, with deep seafood expertise." (source)
