The North American restaurant industry is in the midst of a powerful transformation.
Driven by globalization and digital innovation, Asian cuisine is no longer a niche—it’s a rising force.
Chinese and broader Asian restaurant brands are scaling rapidly, fueled by changing consumer tastes and a growing appetite for authenticity and quality.
But despite this momentum, building a successful restaurant business remains a daunting challenge.
For many entrepreneurs, every step，from finding the right location to managing staff, sourcing ingredients, and handling cash flow，is a test of persistence.
At MenuSifu, we’ve spent over a decade supporting the growth of Asian restaurants across North America.
We firmly believe in the potential of Asian cuisine and the entrepreneurs behind it.
Yet, we’ve also witnessed a critical gap in the market:
a lack of capital partners who both understand the restaurant business and share the cultural background of these founders.
Too often, promising brands stall at a small scale not because of a lack of vision, but due to a lack of strategic support.
That’s why today, we’re proud to officially launch WEFOOD Capital, a dedicated venture fund created to support and accelerate Asian restaurant entrepreneurs across North America.
WEFOOD Capital is more than just a financial investment, it’s a complete growth engine.
As an extension of MenuSifu’s one-stop restaurant technology platform, the fund offers a full suite of resources to help entrepreneurs grow with confidence:
This powerful combination of technology and capital provides entrepreneurs with a clear path toward scalability, efficiency, and brand recognition.
Whether you're opening your first standardized store or expanding into multiple cities, MenuSifu and WEFOOD Capital will be there to support your journey—every step of the way.
The future of the restaurant industry is being reshaped by automation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven operations.
In this new landscape, standardized and tech-enabled restaurant models will define success.
We believe the next ten years will be a golden era for Asian cuisine in North America, an era that could give rise to the next Panda Express.
At MenuSifu, we’re committed to paving the way with cutting-edge restaurant technology.
Through WEFOOD Capital, we’re providing the capital and resources needed to scale big ideas into category-leading brands.
“Over the past ten years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with hundreds of restaurant founders,” said Qiang Wang, Founder of MenuSifu.
“They’re hardworking, creative, and full of potential—but too often they lack the financial support and trusted partners who truly understand their journey.”
“With WEFOOD Capital, we aim to change that. We want to offer more than just funding—we want to bring long-term support, industry insight, and growth partnerships that help great brands go further, faster.”
WEFOOD Capital is a venture fund initiated by New York–based restaurant tech company MenuSifu.
The fund is focused on investing in early-stage and growth-stage Asian restaurant brands and businesses within the foodservice value chain across North America.
As part of MenuSifu’s integrated restaurant ecosystem, WEFOOD Capital combines strategic capital with deep operational expertise, empowering Asian restaurant entrepreneurs to digitize, scale, and lead in today’s competitive market.
Together, we’re building the future of Asian dining. Contact us now to learn more.
