Grains App
We are developing our AI algorithm to make the Grains App a home for theoretical knowledge, student mentorship, and personal development.
Free for everyone.
• general understanding of the hospitality industry
• training on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• gamified subject courses
• soft skills development
• online mentorship
The key to long-term happiness and success on the career path is understanding yourself and becoming your own best friend.
To help our students learn skills to succeed in both work and life, we are developing a self-management course. The aim: to guide students through practices which will help them to become their own "therapists" and achieve their life goals.Biased or outdated information is a common problem in education.
To solve this issue, we are developing our own Artificial Intelligence algorithm that analyses a vast amount of data on a specific topic and merges it with unique industry insights and best practices that we manually collect from Hospitality Industry leaders in the EU and Ukraine.
This helps us to create unique, relevant, and up-to-date learning material that matches the needs of students.
Developed in cooperation with MI4People.Like in real life, there are no lectures, textbooks, or homework; instead, the app uses videos to simulate tasks by chefs, service staff, event managers, etc. Learn by imagining and be ready for bite-sized, real-world challenges as theory comes to life.

Grains is a learning app and a non-profit hospitality school in Ukraine where Internally Displaced People can study for free.
The goal of Grains is to help IDPs to learn skills and get well paid jobs in hospitality industry in Ukraine.Helping IDPs
Millions of Ukrainians had to relocate from the dangerous areas, but stayed within the country. Finding a well-paid job is one of the first priorities of starting a new life from scratch in a new place of living.
Hospitality industry
The concentration of people in the most protected cities created a lot of demand for hospitality businesses. People keep creating new businesses to support the economy, but finding labor to work in them is an issue. There is a severe staff shortage due to the recent pandemics, martial state, and the outflow of skilled labor.
The hospitality industry is an essential contributor to the Ukrainian economy. Grains was created to support people in need, the hospitality industry, and the Ukrainian economy as a whole.
Grains is a collective project that unites the expertise of tech and hospitality professionals from the European Union and Ukraine. It was founded in 2023 by SHELEST Hotel and Madina Katter as part of their social mission to support the Ukrainian Economy.
In Ukraine

Worldwide

The project is funded by Concorde Capital, as well as Berlin Startup Incubator in cooperation with the German Government.
