BigChefs, Turkey’s leading full-service restaurant chain, has launched a new project within the scope of reducing inequalities, one of the sustainable development goals, with the understanding of “Always Better with an Inclusive World”. BigChefs has joined EyeBrand, the platform of BlindLook, which offers solutions to visually impaired individuals with its artificial intelligence and voice-based technology. As part of this partnership, BigChefs restaurants have now become vocal. The application, which can be downloaded free of charge from the App Store and Google Play Store, offers an independent restaurant experience, providing disabled individuals with access to menu content and pricing information. The application also provides information about the locations of BigChefs branches and ease of access.

In this way, the restaurant experience is further enriched and BigChefs' inclusive service approach is taken one step further.
